What are some good abs exercises for lower abs?

Any abs exercises you know of are helpful but im working specifically on lower abs.

Hey there,

Anything that works your upper abdominals will work your lower ones as they are all the same muscle the "rectus abdominus." But if you really want to target the lower abdominals specifically then any movements that involve lifting your legs really work the lower abs and hip flexor muscles.

The best exercises are:

- Leg raises
- Hanging leg raises
- Reverse crunches
- Scissor kicks
- Hip thrusts

Hope this helps!

    I think a lot of times the key to getting those lower abs is diet. The right diet coupled with some good ab exercises is a sure way to burn belly fat and get the lower abs as well.
