Stop, Drop, and Work on Those Lower Abs








To keep this short and not so sweet, here are 2 lower ab exercises that I try to do after each work out. These exercises target our least favorite body section and are strictly to tone up.  Crunch away kiddies....

Bicycle crunches


  • Lying on the floor with your legs at a 90 degree angle from the floor, move one leg out and the other knee towards your body as you crunch in. 
  • With your arms behind your head, crunch in and begin to turn towards the knee that is moving inward with the opposite side arm. Make sure not to pick your hips off the floor (on each side when you turn).
  • Come back down and begin to alternate legs and do it all over again on the other side.
  • Do this in repetitions of 20 (1 side counts as 1) at a time. Pause and repeat 2x more.

Planking (not THAT planking Shamel)
