Lower Ab Workout
If you’re looking for a lower ab workout, you’re in the right place! A few weeks ago I started making a series of training videos dedicated to creating workouts that trouble women the most. It’s no surprise to me that requests for lower ab workouts starting popping up in the comments and emails.
Lots and lots of ladies wanted a workout for their lower abs. Some asked for exercises specifically for their lower abs because crunches aren’t cutting it. Some straight-up wanted to know ‘How can I lose my pooch?’ And that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you today.
How to Workout the Lower Abs
The term “lower abs” is kind of misleading because the muscles in the lower section of your core (aka the rectus abdominis muscle) actually covers the entire ab areas… it just so happens to connect to your pelvis.
Because your legs are also attached to your pelvis – and because your legs make up about 40% of your body weight – the absolute best way to target the pooch area is to lift and lower your legs…
Holding your legs up off the ground and pushing them upwards automatically engages the lower portion of your abs and you don’t need any fancy equipment to get results.
Do you have a pooch of fat on your belly that you’d like to lose? Then you’re going to love today’s episode of CCtv. In it, I share today’s lower ab workout and explain how to lose your pooch. Check it out below.
How to do this Lower Ab Workout
- There are 6 exercises targeting the lower abs in this workout.
- You’ll need to do each exercise until you ‘feel the burn’ and once you feel the burn do 5 more.
- Do each exercise one time to complete 1 ‘round’ or set.
- Do 3 full sets of each exercise to complete your workout.
- I recommend doing this workout at least once a week… along with another full ab workout. (I have tons of those for you here.) If you train this area consistently you will build lean muscle in that area.
This workout targets the muscles in the lower ab area. But you can’t spot train to reduce fat lower ab fat.

The lower abs are the hardest to target! I’ve been trying for 2 years to no avail. I would get good progress for about 2 months and then go on vacation and have 5000 cheat meals and no exercise and then having to start all over again! These exercises are great because I don’t need to go to the gym, I can just drop down to the floor when I remember to! Haha. Saving this as my wallpaper. Thanks!
Trying something new to try and lose weight been doing keto and exercise for over a year now and starting to lose hope that I can actually lose weight.
If you’ve been dieting and exercising for a year and haven’t had any results I’d strongly suggest investing in a professional program or coaching.
Great article, thanks!
I’m glad you liked it 🙂
Is there any way I can modify these? I’m not quite strong enough to perform all of them correctly but would like to keep trying
Not really. Try my Lazy Girl workouts instead! This one targets the legs https://www.christinacarlyle.com/lazy-girl-leg-workout/

You are so awesome I love your workouts.
The lower ab workout is great! I can feel the burn.
All steps are perfect. Hopefully, it will help me burn the excess fat.
I can’t do the butt lifts can I try something dufferent.
Yep! You can swap in any other ab exercise you’d like : )
I used to do these exercises, but I got lazy, glad I found them again and thanks. I have my mat,all set and ready to go.
Why do I feel this big time in my legs?
Because you’re moving your legs… Try engaging your core! Squeeze it tight during each movement.
Hey Christina,
The exercises are fruitful and tough to do. Previously, I downloaded an app for my wife which contained workout postures like you have mentioned in this article. But, she thought them too hard to do. Is there any way to motivate her? Please help…
Is the lying hip lift a good alternative for the lower leg lift? Because I feel a lot of strain on my spine when I tried that move 🙁
Skip it and do another set of one of the other exercises instead. xo
