The legions of fitness men all over the world will agree that developing a well-defined midsection can be the most challenging part of working-out. Stored fat around the belly tends to be the most stubborn when trying to trim down and lose body fat. The effort of trying to get rid of love handles and a cushy tummy can get very frustrating at times and a lot of people give up.

There are lower ab exercises however that put more stress on that area: air-pedaling while on one's back, vertical and horizontal leg raises, and different versions of such.

The monotonous nature of repetitions and seemingly slower progress developing the lower abs make it a challenge to keep working regularly. This can be remedied by either working-out with a partner, using alternative devices like a medicine ball, or switching to a different type of lower ab exercise every now and then.

Muscle tissue stops growing when it adapts to a specific type of movement. Changing your lower ab exercise routine once you feel like you've hit a plateau will help you reach your goal of getting a six-pack a little faster.

By keeping our workouts less monotonous through a gauntlet of different lower ab exercises, we don't face the risk of getting bored and worse- stop working-out. The best way for radical results is consistency in exercising.
