How to get those lower abs to pop out

People normally ask me, what is the secret in getting those clearly defined abs specially the V cut on the lower abs. They say that they can feel and see those upper abs but have no idea how to get those lower abs to appear. In this article I have compiled a few tips which may help you in your journey to shredded six pack abs.

First I would like to say if you are here looking for a shortcut or a magic pill to get that shredded core, I would advice you to look else where. I believe there are no shortcuts. The only way to get the results you want to see is through hard work and dedication. I also do not believe in the popular phrase "Abs are made in the kitchen". Sure nutrition plays an important part but to completely disregard the training part of it is laughable. 100% dedication to training and 100% dedication to nutrition is the way to do it. This article is for those who workout regularly and have a solid nutrition plan. Also until you have a low body fat percentage, you wont be able to see those abs.

Here are a few tips to get those lower abs to pop out:

1. Be Consistent
Consistency is the key. Be consistent with you training as well as nutrition.

2. Core in Everything
Activate your core for each and every exercise that you do.

3. Core Day
Keep a dedicated core day in your schedule to ensure that you hit that core from all angles and none of the muscles are overlooked.

4. HIIT
Incorporate a bit of High Intensity Interval Training in your abs workout. eg. 1 min ab work followed by 2 rounds of skipping. They both work great together.

5. Exercises
Lower abs dont work in isolation i.e if you do a particular exercise the entire core in engaged, the lower abs as well as the upper abs. However there are some exercises which target more of lower abs eg. heels to the heaven, hanging leg raises, reverse crunches.

6. Incorporate Weights
Body weight core exercises are cute. But if you want some serious definition you have to go for weighted ab work. You can use cables, resistance bands, dumbbells to overload those core muscles.

7. Train till failure
While doing ab work take the reps till failure. Its going to burn!! oh yeah mark my words if you do those abs exercises correctly its going to burn like hell. Most people leave the set as soon as it starts burning. Learn to enjoy the burn and train through it.

Final word
Its going to take time, dont worry about that. Time will pass anyway but in the end if you are consistent in your efforts it will all be worth it. May you get that complete shredded core you deserve.
