Abs School
Hard Underbelly

Your abs may be a single sheet of muscle but the lower section is hard to hit. Not any more

You might think that cranking out crunches and watching your diet is enough to make that six-pack pop out from your midriff, but this is a classic mistake.

People who follow this approach tend to make only the ‘top half’ of a six-pack visible because the lower section of the abs muscle has been neglected. This abs workout has been designed to target your softer underbelly and get the muscles firing equally across the abs.

The first move builds muscular power and size, while the second works your deep core muscles and the third involves the upper section of the abs in a team effort. Do this workout two to three times a week to get harder abs within a month.
