Lower ab exercises

Hi all! I am going to try and start working out my abs so I can look decent during my honeymoon in July and I was wondering if anyone has a home exercise that can be done that gives quick results? My friend told me to do 30-40 situps ATLEAST everyday(really everyday!) and I will definately see results. I'm going to try this. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Lower ab exercises

You can lay on your backa, nd do leg lifts, that will target your lower abs.
I had doing just ordinary sit ups.
If you can get one of this big excersise balls, they are GREAT for doing abs, and better for you on your back.
Plus you are using your own resistance which works more muscles. Just laying on the lfoor, the floor is your resistance.

i agree with everything Diane says:

also for the leg lifts...it helps if I grab onto something like the sofa or a bed frame...

I also suggest leg lifts with a 5lb weight on your upper thigh to burn fat and tone.

I bought a couple of videos and did abs exercise every morning when I got up. I spent between 5-10 minutes doing them and I definitely saw the difference after a while. What else will help is to add cardio into the mix 3-5 days a week.

You will not loose fat over the muscle by doing 30 sit ups and crunches. You need to change your diet, and work out your entire body for this to happen.

If you have a naturally low fat mid-section, you will see the muscle, but if the fat is usually there, you can't loose it by doing just crunches.
