QUESTION:
What are the best lower ab exercises?
-Angie from Alexandria, VA
ANSWER:
This is a very common question since the abs are one of the most frustrating sections of the body to develop. The truth is that good abdominal definition usually isn't an issue of muscular development at all, it's more of an issue of body fat levels. The lower abs seem to be a 'holding cell' for that last bit of stubborn body fat that just won't come off easily. You see, if you have body fat covering your lower abs, it doesn't matter how well defined they are from exercise - you just won't see them underneath the layer of fat.

QUESTION: I hate exercise. I try jogging on the treadmill, the elliptical, cycling and other things. But, I just can never go for more than 15 min. because I get SOOO bored! I've read the tips on the website, like go fast then slow (etc.) and I have a playlist to listen to. None of that works. I've gotten to a point where I just don't EVER exercise because I can't find a way to do it without getting bored out of my mind! What I can do to start enjoying exercise? -Heidi from Logan, UT
