my upper abs are toned and defined but I still have some fat in my lower what are some ways to get rid of it?
That place along with the obliques is the last place to go when I'm a pre contest diet. This is usually when I use a topical fat burner along with a cortisol inhibitor. I like to use erase for that.my upper abs are toned and defined but I still have some fat in my lower what are some ways to get rid of it?
I agree. Diet is the key here and a combination of proper exercise for lower abs like straight leg raise, pulling your legs together up then slowly lower it BUT remain still by not touching the floor before you perform another repetition. It's one of the most effective lower abs workout.Keep your diet clean and be sure to include cardio. Try doing some lower ab exercises weighted too. The issue could possibly be loose skin which unfortunately TIME is the only answer. You could try collagen too.
There's a topic in which Zir Red commented on this, and that kind of exercise seemingly only works the hip flexors, not actually the lower abs from my understanding.I agree.

Hey I'm new to this and I need help loosing belly fat also so my abs can show more..but at the same time i don't want to lose muscle ..should I just keep doin crunches etc..?Diet - Get it down
Train - Get training down
Cardio - Do cardio
Diet - Make sure it's good.
LOL - seriously, diet, training, and cardio. They say you can't spot reduce, but I do believe training an area can help in making it more defined, however, the ab and thigh shot is one of my best b/c my abs are always razor sharp and I barely, if ever train abs anymore, but I used to train them hard and smart. Focus your ab training on reverse crunch movements (hanging leg raise/knee raise, lying leg raise, reverse crunches, etc...) the key is to use your rectus abdominus by bringing y our hips closer to your rib cage. Just raising your legs is working your hip flexors, not your lower abs.

THIS!If that is you in your picture I would recommend focusing on gaining muscle and stop worrying about your abs so much, they are not the end all be all.

Crunches are a very poor weight loss tool, considering the low intensity even with a million reps. Just do more HIITHey I'm new to this and I need help loosing belly fat also so my abs can show more..but at the same time i don't want to lose muscle ..should I just keep doin crunches etc..?
