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?

I've been runing for years, and i feel my joins are starting to hurt from all the excess impact. i'm going to let you in on something most people don't know.... you burn more cal's walking then you do running... so walking for 30 minutes i better then running for 30 minutes.. if you want to lose fat.... umm? im not seeing it. i dont want to be the skeptic but that doesnt seem logical. |

Walking burns more than jogging, but not running, especially if you walk on an incline. Jogging is bad, because of the pounding rhythm on your joints. I've heard you shouldn't run more than 20 minutes total all week. I do an elliptical machine, which is easy on the knees, followed by a fast 5 minute run. And by fast I mean at the very least .65 miles in five minutes. Sometimes I break it up into sprints. Riding a bike is also a good way to take the stress off of your joints. |
