Hey everyone, just joined the forum. Looks nice :)
Took me like four trys to figure out how to get the post thru :p

I've been working out my ab's lately, and my lower ab's are slacking. I was wondering what exerises target the lower ab's the most. I used to think it was the exercise where you lay flat on the ground, and lift your legs to a 90 degree angle, and then raise them perpindicular. < For lack of name for the exercise. But from reading, people say it's not, and can lead to bad things.

Any exercises? And by the way, I cannot access any workout equipment at all, so it would have to be something I can do at home.

Thanks.

I think they're simply called leg raises and the reason they get a bad rep around here is that they place a massive strain on your lower back and they don't even target your abs very well anyway. The muscles you feel working in your lower abs region when doing leg raises are your hip abductors which start under your stomach muscles. There are plenty of other excersices you could do to build core strength or hip abductors that don't involve risking the health of your back
 
and most people dont need to work their hip flexors anyways, they get tight enough from all the sitting we do. Do a search for abs, of core and you should find tons of info on training the abs.

Thanks, will do.
And have you ever heard you look like that one kid from the cartoon Recess?

Lol, you look like Yoke.
 
Really? Is pretty ironic.
I can't find a pic of Yoke though :(

The smile, freckles, and hat make you look just like him. Too bad he was only in one episode.
