Auto Racers Fitness Magazine Attacks The Front Gut

 

Hey Racers,

This one comes from one of my facebook friends. Not only is that lower ab area one of the first things to go flabby as we age, keeping it strong and tight gives us tremendous stability behind the wheel.

Question for you Russ. What is a good exercise for lower abs?

My answer:

 

Hey, Great question!! I favor a synergistic strategy for both lower and upper abs. You want to incorporate regular interval cardio, a diet low on processed sugars like I talk about in my top fuel nutrition guide and core work. Core meaning exercises that work that band of muscles from your chest to your mid thighs. Lower abs benefit from upright exercise just as much if not more than exercise done on your back (crunches, etc). Try this to really isolate the lower and the upper abs too. Get on your back, legs straight, arms at your side. Lift the legs off the ground about 6 inches (or less if you can't get them that high at this point). Hold them there for 30 seconds. Take a half minute break and then do it again. For variations, scissor the legs up and down. Do 2 second holds. When the right leg is up, the left leg should be very near the floor, then switch. Over time, work on getting the high leg higher. Make sure to breath normally and fully throughout the exercises. 

Again, for maximum results be mindful of diet and getting a lot of interval cardio. This will really transform your lower abs. We talk about interval running and top fuel nutrition concepts in my Racers Workout Magazine in the Racers Workout program. Get your risk free copy here.
