How to Burn Lower Abdominal Fat

When exercising the abdominals, the lower abdominals are often harder to tone. For many people, the area below the belly button seems to hold onto stored fat. Certain exercises specifically target the lower abdominals, instead of the stomach as a whole. These exercises burn lower abdominal fat so the entire stomach becomes toned and defined.

Instructions

1. Lie down on your back.

2. Bend your knees, and plant your feet on the ground shoulder-width apart. Your arms should be at your sides, with your hands palm-side down.

3. Use your stomach muscles to raise your pelvis off the ground.

4. Hold the position for a minute, then lower the pelvis in a controlled motion.

5. Repeat this exercise 50 times.

6. Place your hands behind your head, and bring your head up off the ground.

7. Straighten your legs, then raise them up so your toes are pointing toward the ceiling. Cross your legs at the ankles.

8. Tighten your abs and raise your legs and bottom off the ground.

9. Bring your bottom back down to the ground in a controlled motion.

10. Repeat this exercise 50 times.

11. Perform this routine a couple times a week to tone your lower abs.
