Powerful Flat Lower Abs Technique
by John Alvino
Time and time again, I get contacted by frustrated trainees
experiencing the same problem: Their upper abs are looking
okay, but their lower abs are bulging out. This is very
typical, even for those who train hard and follow a sound
diet. There are three different causes of the lower ab
bulge. In order to flatten this region of your stomach, all
three causes must be corrected.
The first reason the lower abs are not flat is due to excess
body fat. Most people will lose fat on the upper portion of
their abs first. Only when these individuals get very lean
will they lose the fat around their belly button area. This
excess belly fat problem is only lost by following a
well-designed fat loss plan, such as the How To Get Ripped
Abs program. This plan will include: high intensity cardio,
metabolic-boosting resistance training, and proper
nutrition.
The second cause of the lower ab flab is directly related to
the pelvic position. If the pelvis is rotated forward, it
will cause your lower spine to arch excessively. This "over
arch" causes your belly to bulge out even if your body fat
levels are low.
In order to correct this problem, you must lengthen your hip
flexors and strengthen your abdominals. If this is done
properly, you will realign your pevis and flatten your belly
in no time.
Next, I"ll explain to you how to properly perform a stretch
for your hip flexors and I'll show you several different ab
exercises based on your level of fitness.
Hip Flexor Stretch- Get into the bottom position of a lunge
with the back knee resting on the floor. Adjust the
distance between your legs until the shin on your front leg
is in a vertical position. Push your hips forward while
maintaining an upright posture. Hold for 30 seconds.
Repeat on the other side. Repeat the entire process 3-4
times. Note: If you are not stretching on a soft surface
(grass, mat, etc.), I suggest that you put a small mat
underneath your knee.
Level 1 Ab Exercise- Lie on the floor. Flex your knees
until they make ninety degree angles while placing your feet
flat on the floor. With your palms down, place your hands
under your lower back. Bring both legs up until your knees
are pointing directly toward the sky. Tilt your pelvis
backward, thus creating slight pressure on your hands. This
is the starting position. Next lower your legs to the floor
while maintaining your back position thus keeping constant
pressure on your hands. As you get stronger, simply extend
your knees slightly each workout until you are doing this
exercise with straight legs.
Level 2 Ab Exercise- Lie on your back. Bend both knees and
hips until they form ninety degree angles. Bring knees
toward chest by flexing your abdominal muscles while
maintaining a constant knee angle. Return until hips and
knees are again extended to 90 degree angles. Repeat for
the prescribed number of reps.
Advanced Ab Exercise- Lie on a decline bench. Bend both
knees and hips to 90 degree angles. Lift knees toward chest
by flexing abdominal muscles while maintaining a constant
knee angle. Now lower back down until hips and knees are
again extended to 90 degree angles. To progress, increase
the angle of the decline.
Stomach distension is the third reason for a bloated
abdominal region. Constipation is one of the most common
reasons for this; when this occurs, increasing your
consumption of water and fiber is the best remedy. Speak
with your doctor if these recommendations do not bring
optimal results.
When your body is reactive, or sensitive, to certain foods
your immune system will respond causing bloat in the
abdominal area which brings us to our second cause of
distension. ***** After eating each meal, take note of how
your body reacts to certain foods; if you are experiencing
stomach pain, cramping, or diarrhea you may want to consider
using substitutes for these foods.
