Why is it that you cannot get your lower abs to go down despite doing over 100 abs everyday?

Spot reduction does not work.  You need to lose fat in order for your stomache to be flatter.  Keep doing your ab exercises, but also do cardio like walking, running, aerobics, etc.  Don't forget about a healthy diet.

You can push back from the table, eating less & crunches will do the job.  I'm not talking about using machines or products that assist you in doing crunches, I'm talking about holding your legs in the air and coming up with your upper body.  It will work, I do a hundred a day.  Hurts like heck but is def worth it!  No pain, no gain.  Simple as that.

It may be fat, like the kind you can't get rid of without liposuction. Try doing abdominal work that targets the lower abs and analyze your diet.

Crunches are great for abs.Lie on your back bring knees to chest and hold them there,now try to rise your shoulders off the floor.Backwards leg lifts are great for toning your backside.Get on all fours and extend one leg,bending it at the knee,while leg is bent push your heel upwards.Lunges are also great.Stand with feet slightly apart,step forward with on leg,bending at the knee with both.You should do at least 5 sets of 10 on these.If you feel you can do more,Go for it.GOOD LUCK!!!

Your ab muscles are no different than the other muscles in your body. They need time to recover from exercise. For maximum results, don't work them everyday. Every other day is best.\n\nIf you are trying to get your "six-pack", crunches are not the way to go. Everyone has a six-pack, but for most people, a layer of fat covers it. Even though you have a flat stomach, you probably still have just enough body fat to cover them up. It is important to eat properly and exercise to burn this fat.

Most people think getting nice abs is all about toning the abs, but it's really mostly about getting rid of the ... well, fat over the abs.  A lot of people have nice abs hidden underneath a layer of fat.

I would suggest these :\n\nless callories\nmore cardio\nand of course abs. BUT HERE IS A TRICK. Quality is the most important not quantity. Make sure you contract your muscles for each rep you do. Otherwise you're doing them for nothing. If you can make 100 reps then you're not doing it the right way.\n\nHere is more info :http://www.globaldiets.info/body-fat-abs.php

Why don't you try doing squats or roller blading to tone up your bottom half?  Also, it could be that your butt and thighs are hereditary, so there may not be much you can do about it except tone them up.  I used to think I had the same problem but I came to grips with the fact that I was just built this way, so why stress?

check with your doctor, but start slow and work up.  I had the same problems as you and exercise has definitly helped with both of them being lowered.

Well, that's kind of what doing sit-ups is supposed to do :) Try doing crunches instead.  Lay on your back with your legs either resting on a bench or a bed, put your hands behind your head, and use your abs to pull your shoulder blades off the ground.  It'll work mainly your upper abs, so try to supplement by doing some bike work or knee tucks, flutter kicks, etc., for your lower abs.

I used to have a stubborn tummy that refused to go away, and a very weak back... my spine grew slightly twisted. I now have beautiful abs and a powerful core, thanks to Joyce Vedral's ab exercises. I'll be doing these for the rest of my life. \nYou can check out her website at www.joycevedral.com. She finally came out with exercise videos and dvds, I find them much more convenient than her books. Good luck!

ab workouts roman chair situps and leg lifts are the best ab developing workouts you can work abs twice a week since they are a slowtwitch muscle fiber and heal faster.  Abs shouldn't be done daily with 100 crunches this and 100 of that abs are not a cardio.  you have to lower your overall bodyfat % to improve your abdomen.  Butt... lying leg curls revers lunges with dumbells and cardio 20-45min a day 3-4times a week.  Hip flexes too for butt.  kind of like doing a bridge on your back and humping the air on top of you flexin the cheeks lol... good for developing sex skills too lol.

Exercise is meant to improve your physical abilities, not hinder them.  Stick to going maybe 3 or 4 minutes beyond when your abs are noticably sore when crunching... Then STOP!!!  Be sure to stretch your stomach when you are done..this well help keep you limber. Also, Crunches don't need to be done every day. The muscles are being torn in exercise and they need time to repeair (The repair is what makes them get tigheter). In addition... varry your workout- Do 300 crunches one morniing, skip a day and then do only 150 the next... do oblique crunches, reverse crunches, and regular crunches, make it fun, learn new exercises, Magazines like Health are great for switching up your home fitness routine.  Remember though, no matter how many crunches you do, crunches only treat the muscles. You must do cardio to get rid of flab!  You could have solid ab muscles underneath inches of fat if you dont do cardio as well!!

First and foremost, stay away from any ab machine.\n\nFor the upper abs, focus on crunches which effectively work the abdominals better than sit-ups or any machine on the market.\n\nFor the lower abs, keep in mind there is very little muscle tissue there so decreasing levels of body fat is the most effective way to bring out the best in this area. Hanging leg raises, v-situps and reverse curls are among some of the best exercise for this region. Always make sure your pelvis curls up to maximize lower abdominal contraction during these exercises.\n\nAs far as fat loss and getting ripped goes, cardio, cardio, cardio. In the morning, on an empty stomach at about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate for about 30-45 minutes. This combined with a common sense diet will quickly shed body fat so you can actually see those abs you've developed. \n\nI would encourage you to seek the advice and guidance of a personal trainer in your area for further education on these principles. Please ensure you start off at a very basic level for crunches and cardio if you are a beginner.\n\nHere's some links to help you out.\n\nAbdominal Exercises\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises_abdominals.html

dont JUST target the ab area. You need to do cardio along with an ab exercise.    I use the Ab Lounger which works really well..or just plain old crunches..when you lean back to begin another sit up, hold it for a few seconds to help strengthen those muscle...also a lot of people mistakenly use their legs too much when doing crunches, so be aware of that and really try to let your ab muscles do the work.  That with cardio would be great and a somewhat lean diet to avoid any extra fat in that area.  Just don't over do it right away...baby steps..or else you'll be hurting and won't be able to exercise for a few days
