How to Target Your Lower Abs (MAKE THEM VISIBLE!)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
If you have lower belly fat or you are just soft in that area, you might be wondering how to target your lower abs and get visible lower abs. In this video, I am going to show you that not only yes, you can preferentially target the lower abdominal muscles, but how to do so in the most effective way possible. With three simple exercises (plus a bonus exercise) and some tips on how to do them, you will be well on your way to sculpting your lower abs.

You might have been told that there is no way to isolate one area of the abs over the other. In other words, you cannot work the lower abs without also working the rest of the abdominal muscles. This is true. However, based on where we initiate the movement from, we can preferentially influence the portion of the abs that we are looking for. To target the upper abs, you would perform top-down movements such as a standard crunch, but if you wanted to hit the lower ab muscles, you would perform bottom-up movements.
The lower abs are subject to another anatomical manipulation and that comes from the position of the pelvis and the low back. To most effectively influence the lower abs, you will want a flat back throughout every ab exercise that you do. To achieve this back position, you are going to need to be in a posterior pelvic tilt. By curling your pelvis in and under, you are also helping to reduce the activation of the hip flexors during these movements.
Next, you are going to want to set your hip angle. Ideally this will be at 90º for both your hips and your knees. However, to make the exercise easier, you will want to bring that angle closer towards your chest and to make it harder, open the angle so that your legs are farther away. Whatever angle you set, make sure to keep that angle throughout the entirety of the exercise.
So what exercises can we do and how do we do them in order to most effectively target your lower abs?
First up, we have swipers. The goal is to get your legs in the air by raising your pelvis completely off the ground and swiping your hands underneath where your butt was. This exercise is great because it has automatic feedback built into the movement. If you successfully curled your pelvis off the ground and towards your chest, you will be able to swipe your hands together no problem. If not, you need to focus on lifting that pelvis.
Next, we have reverse knee tucks, but they should really be called tailbone lifts. Why? Traditionally, most people usually allow their hip flexors to dominate the movement and simply bring their knees towards their abdomen. To really make the lower abs work in this exercise, think about lifting the tailbone off the ground and bringing your knees to about forehead level. This will ensure that you are limiting the amount of work the hip flexors are doing and maximizing the work that the lower abs are performing.
The next ab exercise is a more dynamic and tougher version of the standard plank called the plank knee slide. By incorporating the same principles that were introduced earlier, you will be effectively targeting the lower abs throughout this movement (if performed correctly, of course). Just make sure you are going slow and deliberate with each part of the movement.
A bonus exercise that is probably one of the most effective ab exercises of all time for hitting the lower abs is the hanging leg raise. Instead of simply raising your legs up, I like to give the cue of showing your butt to the person in front of you. This will disengage the hip flexors and allow the abs to take on the brunt of the work. Another reason this exercise is so great is because you are lifting the weight of your legs against the force of gravity.
To intensify each of these exercises, simply engage the adductors. On 3 of the 4 ab exercises I showed you, you can simply cross your legs and squeeze them together. On the plank knee slides, think about isometrically dragging the plant foot inwards.
Furthermore, you can also add rotation to the exercises as well since the fibers of the lower abs run at a slightly oblique angle.
None of this is going to matter if you have too much body fat covering the lower abs themselves. No exercise is going to spot reduce that fat. However, by getting your nutrition in check and being in a hypocaloric state, you will be start burning that fat off while still building and strengthening your lower abs,
If you are looking for a meal plan where everything is laid out for you step-by-step, we have them included with all of our ATHLEAN-X training programs via the link below.

That pelvic curl tip is huge, I imagine tens of thousands of viewers have been doing those wrong their whole life up to this point. Grateful for teachers that stress the keys to form instead of just listing exercise names and what they look like.
Not a single trainer who posts videos on youtube has ALL the answers, but Jeff's content has rarely ever let me down. I'm no physical specimen, but I'm in much better shape than I would be without the lessons I've learned from Jeff over the years. Follow-up: I did just the basic versions of the three exercises posted in the video, and I'm sore today in my low abs in a way I've never felt before. I cannot wait to see what my progress is like in a couple months time.

Thankful for your videos Jeff!! I've had major ab separation after two kids so I'm learning about training the TVA and lower abdominal muscles. Now knowing the direction and position in which you crunch/pull your body is super helpful. Keep up the great work! 🙌
I specifically look for your videos whenever I’m unsure about form or how to connect to the muscle I’m trying to hit. The way you present the lesson and the science behind it all then jump into the exercise is masterful! Thank you so much! I gotta get a shirt now you’ve been helping me since I was a teen!
OMG ! This video totally clears my doubt of why my lower abs have not started shaping up back again even though I have done all these ab exercises that were shown here as regular routine ones ! I will incorporate these simple modifications as shown by Jeff here ! Thanks a lot, Jeff ! 🙌
Fave channel ever. Its the little tips with each vid that make a difference for me. In this one, it was “squeezing the knees together”. Last video it was “unshrugging the shoulders before each chest exercise”.

Thank you for all your detailed explanation. I plan to have those this summer. I have been following you for a while and I am grateful that you continue to put high quality content, nothing but respect.
Im mostly impressed with the emfasis given in doing the exersises so correctly. Ive been bodybuilding for 28 years and recently started pilates on reformer. I just cant get around how all these years most of the exersises i had been shown from trainers were not correct. Another thing is that my body has changed and iam in control of all its muscles, not only the basic ones. My point is that you are the only trainer i have seen online that emfasizes on showing and explaining the correct flow of the muscle and its movements. Very well done!! And thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
Perfect illustration. Thanks Jeff.
What a bunch of excellent directions! 🙏🙏
Thanks as usual for all the amazing information you put out Jeff. Definitely implementing this in my ab workout from now
I've been doing all the wrong way and when i felt the pain. I troubleshoot what and where went wrong until i do the correct way. And today ur video come across for me to watch. Really glad to know what i am doing now is similar to your explanation. Thank you Jeff for the clearer explanation

Jeff i really appreciate you sharing these ab workouts.I’ve never seen my or felt my abs! I do 25 pushups with planks!
These are SO good btw. I now tried incorporating 3 of these in my 10 min abs routine, and when you do the exercise correctly, you can feel the difference in lower abs activation immediately! Super good bc I was very much struggling with lower abs activation. 👍

Best explanation i've ever seen!
Thanks for this lower abs training information! Informative like always, giving good ideas for the own workouts! About the stubborn area … i only can repeat your words, since I changed over 7 years, without loosing joy in life, from ~93kg to 64kg, with only 4kg of body fat left. Why I needed so long? No diets, only movement, development of skills, running, cycling, cardio like movement, bodyweight training, learning new patterns and body awareness, etc. But the stubborn area was the last to change. Consistency of training, changing habits, a bit of deny of sugar, alcohol, coffee, adding a preference for fruits, more pure water, a more healthy way of life, changed me over the years! And the way to train needed to change, too, adopting the changes of the body, the agility, the strength. And this change, these changes are worth it!

The changes in eating and food applied 6ys ago haven't been dramatically, but just enough to start changing and being a lot of healthier. So even working out in that days only a little bit by running a little bit and cycling everyday to work was enough to loose significantly weight. These days I work out a lot, regulary, planned, and eat nearly the same. Perhaps i would need now protein to have more muscle growth, but I was never keen to have bigger muscles. It was always about abilities, about skills and the needed strength and body awareness. My muscles have grown naturally during this journey.

Yes. I also got frustrated because I wasn’t feeling any pain the first few times I added them to my routine. But I finally got the reverse crunches down this morning- they do work. I’m not sure how you’re engaging, but I stopped going for volume-only/certain amount of reps and aimed for doing as many slow and correct reps as possible. I did notice after each pelvic lift from the ground + hand clap, my body couldn’t stay in one place and kept scooting forward (not a big deal but I had to overcome that little part in my mind). After I got up from completing a set (around 30-40 reps each for me), however, I did feel the tightness in the lower abs that I wasn’t feeling while on the floor. In short, you feel the effectiveness after you get up, not so much while you’re on the ground doing them. Weird but legit 🤷🏽✌🏽

Listening to an old person describing how he had to push his intestine back in his hernia tear hole, I got checked because it sounded just like what i had but didnt know thats what it was and all the docs were shocked how long it went untreated

Did you find any weapons in Iraq? Or were you too busy torturing innocents in Abu Ghraib?

Perfect timing, just when my lower abs looking like a fact hunt. Thank you Jeff, as always, awesome info
Ah. Thanks Jeff. Was wondering why my hip flexors were straining. Going to implement this right away
Best lower ab exercises I've seen. Now need motivation.
Let's see you and Jesse meet up with Brian shaw for a workout session. 💪 also on these exercises how can you avoid pelvic floor pain. I was doing a lot of crunches and captain chair lifts but had to switch to planks only. Also what are some cubital stretches that you recommend to keep your arms loose.
First. What portions of your meal plan should be of fruits and vegetables? Any particular recommendations?

You can do burpees, But Don't do a push up at the bottom. Just hold the push up position. Also don't jump too high, make a small jump. Try to do it fast. Maybe this helps?

@@irfuel Yeah It's a dumb question. But I think fast walking will be the easiest fat burning exercise that almost everyone can do. However, Having a good diet is much more important and effective for people who have problem doing exercises.
Jeff, what is your opinion on training two muscles groups directly in one session if you're a following a 6 day PPL split? For example, training the chest, then the triceps straight after. Then on your pull days, training your back, then your biceps straight after?

if you isolate them, its ok. if you dont, your muscle will be exhausted and you can only do few reps.

It's called superset, it saves time especially if you have multiple muscle groups to train that day. It's still effective since 1.30/2 minutes do fly quickly, you can put a timer and see for yourself it's much better that way, rather than wasting 2 minutes doing nothing imo.
Clear explanation as usual. Thanks!
Man this is the fist time I could feel it hit that damn lowest abs, you're a living legend bro, thank you so much.
