If you’re a woman, chances are you’ve struggled with lower belly fat at some point in your life. Because we have more estrogen, our bodies tend to want to hold on to fat in this area, IT’S NATURAL.
But just because we have a genetic disadvantage, doesn’t mean we can’t lose the pooch.
Now, in order to lose fat, you need to incorporate a complete workout regime, cardio, weights, and eating right.
So, although this workout will help you with your lower abs, it should be an addition to your current workout program and not the only form of exercise you’re partaking in.
Personally, I throw this routine in at the end of an arms workout or cardio day (I can’t be bothered with abs on leg day! I’m exhausted).
Tools You’ll Need
- Mat
- Core sliders for knee tuck or use socks/towel directly on the floor. If you don’t have either, substitute with crossbody climbers.
