8 Exercises That Target the Lower Abs

Gudrun Howell · October 27, 2025 ·

The key to success in sculpting the lower abdomen lies above all in the stimulation of the legs and mental concentration. Tell yourself that every time you move your legs, the lower abdomen is solicited. Unfortunately, during a workout, we focus more on the hip flexors, rather than the abdominal muscles. Not to mention that it’s quite unpleasant because the lower abdomen requires a lot of concentration. To hope for better results, it is essential to focus more attention on the lower abs, making sure that they are contracted with each movement. And to do this, you must necessarily rely on the classic position of the plank: you must learn to master it perfectly, because most of the movements are based on it.

Here are 8 exercises to sculpt your lower abs

A few minutes a day are enough to tone the abs, sculpt the belly and sheath the abdomen. However, it is necessary to follow an appropriate physical routine to the letter. This is precisely the daily training that we suggest you do from now on. No more laziness and false excuses! Motivate yourself a little, make yourself comfortable in a quiet corner of the house and give yourself some time to work on your lower abdomen.

  • Row of planks

  • For this versatile exercise, you will have better results if you use dumbbells. In addition to strengthening the belly, it is also a great way to improve posture and balance, but also to solicit the whole body.

    Plank Exercise

  • Get into a plank position. Arm yourself with dumbbells or kettlebells.
  • Lift the weight of one of the arms to the top, then slowly lower yourself again.
  • Do the same with the other arm.
  • Try to perform between 10 and 15 repetitions with each arm.
  • Walk on all fours

  • Yes, the idea is original and even fun, but you can’t imagine the benefits of this exercise. And, on top of that, crawling is so much fun that you won’t even feel the effort….

    Walk on all fours

  • Get on all fours with your palms flat on the floor.
  • Walk forward on your hands and feet.
  • When you reach a certain point (the end of the room, for example), return to the starting position, also on all fours and backwards.
  • Perform this exercise for 1 minute.
  • Montain Climber

  • To stimulate the lower abs, you can trust this exercise. It’s a climbing simulation, so it’s quite physical. Raising the knees with the arms extended largely solicits the entire lower part of the abdominals.

    Mountain climbing exercise

  • For this exercise, you need to get into a plank position.
  • Straighten your left knee toward your chest, then bring it back to the starting position and do the same with the other knee. Pretend you’re simulating a climbing move.
  • Count up to 30 movements between the two legs.
  • Commando operation

  • A more fun variant of the classic plank, this commando plank is hyper dynamic and recalls the movement of soldiers when they move on the ground. To strengthen the lower abs and lower abdomen, this is a cutting-edge exercise.

    Commando crawling exercise

  • Get into a classic plank position (resting your forearms on the floor).
  • Move forward with your forearms.
  • Drag back to the starting position.
  • Perform 5 to 10 repetitions.
  • C-curve

  • Very common in Pilates, the concept of the “C-curve” helps to balance the C-spine. This is an excellent posture for maintaining joints, sheathing the abdomen and relieving back pain.

    Exercise curve C

  • Sit on a mat or on the floor. Support yourself on the soles of your feet.
  • Grasp the inner thighs, below the knees, with your hands and lean back.
  • Return to the starting position.
  • Perform 5 and 10 repetitions.
  • Sit-up with legs elevated

  • The sit-up is undoubtedly one of the most famous exerciseses to target the training of the abdominal muscles. Thus, it promotes good lumbar stability, boosts the arms and legs, while strengthening the abs of the lower abdomen.

    Sit-ups with legs elevated

  • Lie on your back and raise both legs.
  • Put your hands behind your head and do an abdominal curl.
  • Return to the starting position.
  • Perform 10 and 15 repetitions.
  • X Crunch: Hip Lift

  • Do you dream of having “chocolate bars” and putting an end to unsightly bulges? Discover one of the best exercises to target the oblique muscles nestled on the side of the waist right away. To strengthen the abs, this is exactly what you needed!

    Lifting the hips

  • Lie on your back, extend your arms above your head and open your legs. The idea is that your body forms an X on the floor.
  • Stand up and touch your left foot with your right hand.
  • Return to the starting position.
  • Do the same thing but with the opposite arm and foot.
  • Perform 10 to 15 reps on each side.
  • Scissor exercise

  • Timeless and still as popular as ever, the famous scissor footwork is known to balance the abdominal strap and to solicit the abdominals, especially the lower part.

    Scissor exercise

  • Lie on your back. Put your arms at your sides with your palms facing the floor.
  • Raise your legs a few inches, keeping them straight.
  • Then move your right leg to the left and vice versa, crossing your feet.
  • Perform 10 and 15 repetitions.
  • You see, it wasn’t that complicated, was it? Come on, we’re counting on you to establish this physical routine in your daily life… And, trust us, in a few weeks, you will thank us!
