How to target your lower abs!

We get requests all of the time about this problem area!

 

 Simple Curl and Lifts

 Begin with your arms over your head, lying on your back. As you exhale, you want to roll up while pressing your lower back toward the mat. Hold this for a few seconds, then slowly roll down, floating your arms back up overhead! 

Plank w Knee Lowers 

It’s not good to just to “sit ups” in order to work your abs. You want to take a nice variety of body positions in order to target them in a balanced way. Thank you Pilates! We love a low plank with dual knee lowers in order to activate middle and lower abdominal muscles! It’s perfect sandwiched in between exercises with different body positions!

Feet to the Sky Lifts

 

Reach your feet up to the sky, stretching your legs. We might barely be able to see it, but you’ll be getting to those deep lower abs! 

Reach your feet up to the sky, stretching your legs. Go for a 90 degree angle, but if they aren’t totally straight today, that’s ok, keep working toward it!  

 Activate you lower abs as you try to lift your hips up off of the mat about an inch! These are quite subtle, but they REALLY get the job done. This is probably the very best exercise to make get those lower ab muscles engaged and working!
