Abs sticking out at the bottom
Hey there I was just wondering if my abs exercises were right - I do the equivelant to cable pull downs (4 x 12 reps) to exercise my abs 3 times a week as I hears this is a good overall abs exercise, and I have noticed the top of my abs are getting very firm but below my navel (waist line) sticks out a bit and it doesn’t look quite right. I am starting taking Thermobol but I don’t think excess fat is the primary factor but I could be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi There
I find you have to do a different exercise for each area of the abs. To work the lower ab area you need to work on leg raises and knee raises (preferably in a “captains chair” or hanging from a bar) - this will give you that nice v shape in the pelvic area. It works for me! Crunches will work fine for the upper abs and oblique twists with a medicine ball will work those side areas. Your obliques act like a corset so I recommend working these all the time. Oh and don’t forgot to work your lower back, this helps to stretch the abs and strengthen your back - a must when working the abs!
Hope this helps!!!
