5 lower abs exercises to get a beach body in just a month

1. High knees: You can’t really work on your lower abs without adding a cardio routine.

Just remember that you need to do them really very fast to actually get that core really worked up. Beginners can do 50 reps from each leg and 4 sets, and those who are pros can do 100 from each leg and 5 sets.
   

   

2. Reverse crunches: Just like normal crunches hit the upper core area, reverse crunches are tailor-made for your lower abs. Let us tell you one secret, if you do 100s of leg raises in your gym and your belly is just the same, ditch it right away because reverse crunches will give you faster weight loss and the repetitions will also be less. If you are unable to pull off reverse crunches initially then use this trick, hold something behind your head to balance the move and once you get the hang of it then you can place your hands on the mat and do it. Beginners can do 15 reps and 4 sets and others can do 25 reps and 4 sets.
