How do you work your lower abs?

To work your lower abdominal muscles, perform an exercise called scissors. This exercise involves raising and lowering one leg at a time.

1. Lie on a mat

   Lie flat on your back on a mat and raise both legs straight up toward the ceiling.

2. Lower your left leg

   With a slow and controlled motion, lower your left leg until it is around 6 inches above the floor.

3. Do a crunch

   Contract your abdominal muscles to perform a crunch toward your raised leg.

4. Switch legs

   Raise your left leg while lowering your right leg until it is around 6 inches above the floor. Crunch toward your raised leg. Repeat for 10 repetitions.
