Workout question. Options

[gt_driFFter]

I know this is a car forum, but judging by the amount of replies in the "protein shake" thread, it's apparent that there are a lot of people on here that like to go to the gym. I just want to know what's a good routine/exercise that works the lower abs? Normally, I use 2 leather "loops" (each arm through one) that are hanging from a pullup bar. While hanging in the air, I pull my legs straight up to my chest as far as I can. I also do a twisting rep, where I'll bring my legs sidways up to my chest to help work the "side" abdominal muscles. This workout has been really helpful, and I know have an "8-pack" because of it, but my upper abdominal muscles are considerably more defined than the lower ones. Does anybody know a good routine that works the lower abs?

The mid lower ab fat is the hardest to lose. Your body fat % will prolly be around 8 or 9 when you finally get them to show te best. When you do cardio you want your heart rate to be a 705 of your max Heart rate. This percentage is the best for losing fat, if you go 80% or higher you start heading in to the condiditong part and will burn protein alon with the fat.

To get 70% you take 220-age= Max HR then Max Hr * .70 = Fat burning HR.

The reason that 70% is the right number is that it had to deal with your CO2 and lactate forming. I don'twant to bore you with the details.
