One of the best and most widely used workouts for your lower abdominal region is the crunch. It’s powerful because it targets only the region you are trying to target - the lower abs. Crunches can be done anywhere without any special equipment. They’re also useful for people of all skill levels. You simply do as many as you can in a day, and slowly increase the number of crunches you do as you improve muscle strength. If you develop some real strength and need a greater challenge, you can always hold a weight as you perform the crunch for extra strength training.
So how do you do a crunch and get the best lower ab workout possible? First, find a clear area of the floor in your house, preferably a carpeted section for extra comfort. Next, lie on your back and bend your knees up so that your feet are flat on the floor. Next, fold your hands and place them in your lap. If you want a slightly harder workout, place your hands behind your head. Now, to do the crunch, you will want to think about moving your shoulders and your head up toward the ceiling. Don’t concentrate on swinging your torso toward your knees as you would in doing a sit up, but instead think about this movement straight upward. You will feel your abdominal muscles, especially your lower abs, working to lift your head and shoulders.
Do as many of these crunches as you can without hurting yourself, then rest for about sixty seconds. After resting, do another set of as many crunches as you can without hurting yourself.
Focus on doing this exercise ever day. With practice and determination, as well as proper dieting, you’ll soon be on your way to a slimmer stomach and a healthier body.
