Tips on Planning Lower Abdominal Workouts

• Its best to train abs as a whole unit rather than to train Lower and Upper abs separately.
   
• Train abs at least twice and no more than thrice a week.
   
• Quality Muscle Building Nutrition and rest/recuperation will determine 50% of your Lower Ab development, apart from the exercises mentioned below.
   
• Never neglect the importance of Compound movements like Front Squats and Bent Over Rows in development of your core, abdominals and overall Muscle growth. These exercises cause a rapid metabolic surge which is very crucial to burn the midsection and let those abs pop out.
   
• Use 3-5 different abdominal exercises per session and rest for 90-120 seconds.
   
• Keep varying your workouts. It keeps you growing, as the newer exercises hit the muscles in a new angle and form new neural pathways. The body responds to this stress by adding both strength and Muscle mass.
