Lower abs can best be used by doing the traditional crunch but with you feet about a foot above the ground, that works the lower abs
The bee sting, lift your upper body like you would in a normal sit up, lift your legs straight up and your hands straight up towards the toes, bring your arms back while holding the crunch and lower your legs (still straight) to the floor, push back so that hands and legs are straight to the celing again, exhale on your way back up, repeat. You should be in a "V" position basically.Also, lie back legs straight to the celing arms stright by your sides, bring legs down towards the floor then lift them up to straight and lift you bum towards the celing keeping the back to the floor, repeat
best to go for the good old stomach crunchesbest way is to lie flat on your back and have both hands behind your heads , bend your knees and then lift yourseld all the way up untill your chin toches uor kneesyou can increast the intensity by keeping your legs flat down and placing your hands on your hips and doing sit ups
Pilates is a great system for toning and strenghthening all muscles, works on the deep core muscles, not just the superficial abs, also good to strengthen back muscles, Great stuff to get into !
