Lower Abdominal Exercises, Lower Ab Crunches, Lower Ab Exercises

In the fitness industry there is a little controversy about the lower abdominal region.

Another point that is controversial is that exercises can spot reduce body fat.

The truth is that the body cannot spot reduce.

Spot reduction means that if you exercise a spot you will lose fat at that spot. No matter how many crunches you do you cannot magically get rid of fat on your stomach.

Spot reduction is The #1 Ab Myth

You cannot spot reduce but you can spot strengthen.

When your pelvis moves or when your legs move, you emphasize the lower abs.

Below are some various ways you can perform lower ab crunches that emphasize the lower abs.

Because it is soft it is less stable than the floor, so you will get an increase in coordination and stability if you use it for your abdominal exercises.

Reverse Crunches (Lower Ab Crunches) on the Bosu Ball are a great lower ab exercise that is inspired by pilates based ab exercises.
