Examples Of Effective Lower Abdominal Exercise
Lower abdominal exercise comes in many different forms and usually are executed while laying on your back. Attention must be paid to the correct posture of your back while executing the moves to prevent long term side effects to your back as a result of incorrect posture. Here we check out 2 common examples of lower abdominal exercise.
Lower Abdominal Exercise 1
Lie on your back with your legs straighten up on the floor. It is recommended that you lie on a exercise mattress for comfort. Make sure your head is rested on the ground/mattress and put your hands on your waist or you can place them on the ground/mattress straight so that your palms are near your buttocks. Either way works but the 2nd method generally provides better support. Choose the one that is most effective for you. Next, gently lift up your legs until they are approximately 45 degrees from the ground. And then, with the same gentle movement, move the legs down until they almost touch the floor/mattress and then lift them up again gently. Repeat the same movement for up to 15 times and then rest your legs. It is important that during the whole time of the exercise, your back is straighten and not arced. Failure to do so will reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and might hurt your back in the long run.
Lower Abdominal Exercise 2
Continuing from your last position in exercise 1 (head and legs on the floor), place your hands behind your head and use them to gently lift your head up slightly. Next, in the lie down position, bend your knees and move them towards your head. Do not worry if you can’t. Just try as far as you can. The next move is to straighten your legs again but do not let them touch the ground and then go back to bending your knees towards your head. Again, repeat this for up to 15 times and rest.
You can have some variations like resting your head on the mattress/ground while you straighten your legs and then move them towards each other. Do make sure that your back is straightened, otherwise, you will be training your butt muscles instead and you may develop back pains after prolong period of doing the exercise wrongly.
Be consistent with the lower abdominal exercise and you will be on your way to having a nicely shaped abs.
