Lower Abs
Moderators: Boss Man, cassiegose
Leg raises either flat on your back or in a vertical leg raise stand.
If you do them on your back, place the palms of your hands under your hips to minimize the compression of the lower back.
Three sets of 10 to 25 reps performed slowly should be sufficient.
Also you might consider barre work (ballet barre). You rarely see this in a gym but I will venture to bet that if you study ballet dancers' bodies you will see nothing but tight lower abs.
Ask anyone who you know who took ballet lessons as a child to show you the basic moves (or look it up on the Internet).
A barre is also excellent for stretching exercises. There are some programs for cardio-barre but I have not used them.
