How To Exercise Your Lower Abs Using A Ruler

Step 1: Using a ruler to excercise.

To work your lower abs you're going to take a ruler, you are going to place a ruler on your lower back. You're going to lay on the floor and you're going to take your arms and put them out to the side. You are going to take your knees and you're going to bring them to your chest and you're going to inhale and put your legs out and you're going to hold it for two seconds. You're going to exhale and bring your knees back in and repeat this eight times.

Step 2: Stay flat against ruler.

You're going to inhale, put your legs out, hold it for two seconds, exhale, bring your knees back in and repeat eight times. Now if you want to feel this exercise working your lower abs its very important that your lower back stay flat against the ruler. You should always put a ruler on your lower back. You see you have to use your lower abs to keep your lower back pressed flat against the ruler.

If the lower back ever comes off the ruler when you put your legs out that just means that you need to put your legs up higher to maker this exercise easier for you. And as this exercise gets easier or when you start feeling it in your lower abdomen you can start to put your legs out lower and lower to challenge yourself.

Step 3: Work out lower abs.

Two other ways to give the lower abs a better workout is to hold it longer, for maybe three to five seconds, or just place a weight in between your ankles. Now if you want to work your lower and your upper abs at the same time just do the same thing but this time raise your head up and look at your toes when you put your legs out and hold it for two more seconds. This will work your lower and your upper abs.

Step 4: Keep Lower back pressed

The only thing you gotta do when you do this, just remember if you want to feel it working in your lower ab muscles you have to keep the lower back pressed into the ruler the whole time you're doing the exercise.

Step 5: You're nearly done.

Put your ruler on your lower back, remember now, arms at your side, bring your knees to your chest, exhale and inhale, curl up, look at your toes, one-two, relax, exhale, inhale. Curl up and look at your toes, tighten the abs, one-two. Relax, exhale and inhale, one-two, come back, relax, exhale and inhale. Come out, one-two, relax, exhale and inhale. Come out,look at the toes, curl up, one-two, relax, all right, exhale, inhale. Curl up, one-two, relax, exhale, inhale and curl up, one-two. Relax, exhale, inhale, curl up, hold it, one-two. Last one, exhale, inhale and extend, one-two, okay now relax.
