Top 3 Lower Abs Workouts For Women

Lower abs are the muscles located in your midsection. Simply, it is the part of your abdomen that you see when you lean your neck forward.
A fitness enthusiast, who writes for fitnessgoals.com, told me once that virtually all women are in pursuit of training exercises to help them acquire a leaner middle. Unknown to most of them, for noticeable results, you have to find moves that focus mostly or entirely on the core. Being prepared emotionally and mentally also works for the good.

The best thing about lower abs workout is that you can do it with or without any equipment wherever you want to do it. In addition, they can also be combined with strength training routines such as weight lifting and dumbbell workouts.

All lower abs workouts do not yield similar results
Truth be told, these workouts do not yield the same results. Some are more effective than others. Here are the top 3 lower abs workouts that should do it for all women.

1. All directions leg lifts (upper body on elbows)
