How to Flatten your lower abs using a ruler

[nauman1m]

Hey! Have you heard about - fast abs magic (just google it)? Ive heard some great things about it and my GF got detailed 6 pack abs and lost a ton of fat with it.

[idnas13111994]

how should the ruler feel on my back? cuz i don't know if i'm doing properly the exercise ....

[FreeOnlineWorkouts]

I've been studying the topic of weight loss for about 10 years now (I'm a personal trainer for a living) so I think I can shed some light on the topic.

HOW TO LOSE FAT

1) Cut out carbs in the evenings (eat "low glycemic" carb sources in the day).

2) Choose the exercises that burn the most calories (NOT sit ups and curls). Squats, Lunges, Pull Ups etc. are great examples.

3) Use the software and meal plans from FatLossCustomized. com

4) Perform high intensity interval training.

nah leg raisis one onf best for abs just i know gym nastic bahd

this guys vids would work

[mamicruz1401]

@ ehsaraza58 wtf i thought rulers were 12 in not 2 :P Lol!

[ilia2K10]

I have a 6 pack and I'm 13 but my main secret was eating vegetables and fruit and train everyday like as i always do 150 sit ups in the morning, and ALWAYS DRINK YOUR MILK BEFORE GOING TO BED.

Simples :) *Sqeak*

[MultiR33d]

waist twist 2 sets, 50 reps leg raises 4 sets, 25 reps sit up twist 4 sets, 25 reps roman chair sit up 4 sets, 25 reps frog kicks 4 sets, 15 reps leaning twists 2 sets, 50 reps side bends 4 sets, 15-20 reps rest 1 minute between each set do this every day or every other day and eat right, high protein intake 30 mins after and bang, u have abs in a month or so you may not see them but they are there, if ur fat do cardio to remove the layer of fat over your abs to reveal them, job done!

[marcmody]

my girlfriends leg stay up like that for up to 10 minutes straight while i'm fucking her....yet she don't have 6 pack abs ....why is that?

[ehsanraza58]

@marcmody but she doesn't have a ruler under her

[marcmody]

Lower abs?

How the hell does that work? The rectus abdominus is one muscle. It shortens across it's length like all muscles and it's responsible for flexing the lumbar spine.

You can't work the 'lower abs' any more than you can work upper or lower calf.

Why can't people posting this rubbish get some decent qualifications or at least read a book on how the body works...

[sCeNeMuTt]

@CCPbass it works the lower part of that muscle more >.>

[sumstonedguy]

@CCPbass Dear dipshit. it's a similar concept to working your upper and lower bicep. want to see some proof? a guy with a massive peak and huge gap isolates upper bicep alot. just like a guy who does tons of traditional crunches is gonna have a six pack and not an eight pack like all of us real men want

[CCPbass]

@sumstonedguy You are funny! A guy has a short bicep because that's what he's been given in his genetics. But if you want to think he trained it that way well, that's fine. Cheers.

[CADGEN5]

@CCPbass Dude, its pretty much working the belly fat OFF your lower abdominal. and when you do an exercise, say like, crunches, your working the top half of your abs. Just like when you work out your biceps, if you do a curl one way it helps make your bicep longer, then when you do it another way, you make it wider. Do you get what I'm saying?

[silenthillmaster755]

@CCPbass you can have a 4 pack and the last two flabby. Stop making it so technical...

[trejacobs]

@CCPbass yes it is one muscle. Not to defend this video but you also have to take into consideration that each sarcomere (segment which muscle is divided)is ultimately the cause of the movement necessary. So due to the proprioception that one might poccess over another via motor units. It would be possible to "work" your lower rectus abdominis or should I say train and develop more control vs. upper rectus abdominis.

[MileyDOMOKUNpugs]

@CCPbass Okay, go do this exercise, and if you honestlly dont get ANY workout from it, tell me. Maybe he sucks at anatomy but he's just trying to help. I mean look at the guy, hes ripped. This should work your abs, because its pulling on your stomach muscles when you bring up your knees. Not attempting to argue with you, you seem like you know your stuff. But at least give the guy credit for the fact that this will tone your stomach.

[MultiR33d]

@CCPbass dude leg raises are pretty well known for working the lower abs.. dunno wtf the ruler is for but yeah :p bruce lee's flag leg raise's work better though:D

[leonkennedy12311]

well uh...this is a start i guess

[moosa17]

How is working out the muscles supposed to make your abs "flatter?"

[ThunderEquus]

@moosa17 for one, working your muscles burns calories and when you burn more calories than you take in, your body will start burning fat as well. That gets rid of the belly fat, and when you exercise your muscles you're tightening them, which firms the skin around the muscles.

[truthintuning]

Subscribed. Watched a lot of your vids this morning and found exercises to add to my routine. Trying to lose weight before spring (beach season). Started w/ diet and light exercise, and I lost 25lbs from the end of Sept/beginning of Oct (It's 11/12/10 today). I see my results from just what I've been doing so far, so I'm excited to challenge myself and see how much more I can accomplish.

Thanks in advance. Went from 255 to 230 on my own, can't wait to see what happens with your help.

[ThunderEquus]

@truthintuning Really good job! There's a big road ahead but you seem like you're doing really well!

[12lacy34]

This may work, (Havent tried it yet) But i herd when you put your legs that low, its more of a hip flexer then actually working your lower abs.. Is that true? explain please..

[MileyDOMOKUNpugs]

@12lacy34 No, because your not working your hips. This can do something for the back of your thighs, and also burns fat on the love handles. It's great for a lot of things.

[suckafreeG]

hey in shape4u can you please make a video of the best possible exercise for the biceps  head like for the peak, me and my brother both have been working out i know its in my and his genetics that we dont have good peaks we have big biceps but a little peak so can you please make a video of the best bicep peaking exercise in your opinion

[suckafreeG]

i love this guys work out im doing them and watching some of my diet and getting results such simple and genious exercises this man has keep it man

[FlipTheDish]

...so the ruler does what...?

[pinkertonnn]

Awesome! Thanks!

[shosho0girl]

can women do this exercise?

[badass147]

awesome. u've got a solid point on the ruler. if the lower back isn't against the floor then your position has changed and you would be working out upper abs more than anything. keep em comin.

[17Thaiboxer]

i do this all the time it works i used to do it as a traing

[CyberSkittles]

...So why do you need a ruler for this if you're not gonna do anything with it? Can I just do it without a ruler?

[animalmangalover]

why would any body bother???

[SupaFlyBoyZz699]

im not trying to be mean,,but wtf is a ruler have to do with the workout fuck face

[amylove731]

@SupaFlyBoyZz699 ohhh, not rude at all. lmao:)

[lolipopfrenz]

[lolipopfrenz]

i did this and my hips hurt when my leg meet the leg! is that ok? because its the first time i did!

[Lionpk87]

dat shmart

[kzoopwner]

This is good advice when using the ruler, heck anything small and flat will work.

I always have a hard time not arching my back, i will try holding my legs higher.

Thanks for the videos, been watching em.

[xXxLaurenxXx1000]

why use a ruler? isnt that the point of the floor? just keep your back pushed against the floor....

[wetseal169]

lol whats the ruler for?

[deedee34222]

how many times a week do u recomnend i do this workout?? & is it ok to do it everyday??

[misslala274]

[emokidsrawr]

How long would it approximatly take to get decent abs? :')

[inshape4u]

[MURROMGiTSBiLLY]

Is the ruler flat against the floor or like "standing" up? I can't see that? ):

Cause if you have it standing, wont it fall?

[TheufoKidz]

@MURROMGiTSBiLLY its flat

[iamnotapeacock]

[jmihlan32]

[sneezy68]

any advice for fat burning i recentally lost about 30 pounds working out im 14 5'8 and weigh about 150 i know i have the abs i can even see them partially at some angles its like i have a moderate pouch and stretch marks any advice on how to get rid of this i think i might have undermined cardio

[krukan14]

inshape4u: it reminds u to keep the back at the floor , if it´s not  the excercise ain´t working

[Bob8199]

This exercise hurts my legs at the point where my leg meets my hip.

[icetouchxox]

@Bob8199 it did that to me too

the tendons and muscles in your hips probably aren't strong enough

try stretches for the hip area (find some on google) and for strength, lie on your side and lift the leg on top up and bring it back down 10 times for 3 cycles and do it with the other leg too

it'll hurt at first but it'll get better as the muscles get stronger

worked well for me! (:

[akselelk]

song name pls!

[SpaceGirlCow]

goto my VIDSSS.

[sesshy1]

you can have the same effect without the ruler btw

[ohmyjesus90]

[badmanonrd12345]

to be honest, i go gym and iv asked many personal trainers how to do this, they all said the same way. iv started this today, hopefully it works

[xxfatmadenot]

[3320kenzo]

Gotta try this one got any more workout videos??

[A7XBilly]

someone to tell me what is the ruler :S

[tavianization]

its so you know your lower back is still touching the floor so you get a better work out. your back should never come off the the ruler while doing this and if it does then try putting your legs higher

[lolzsik]

does anyone else no any other lower ab excersises using body weight no weights

[TheCarleen]

[inshape4u]

[polipoli7]

what does the ruler does in the whole workout?

[inshape4u]

it forces you to make your lower abs work hard

[TheCastellan]

it works as a marker to keep your low back on the floor.

[metallord1234567890]

Does anyone have some advice on filling out extra skin from losing weight? I am a 14 year old male and I recently lost about 110 or 115 pounds, and have random extra skin

._.

[metallicarocks82]

swim it tightens ur skin

[HollisterCrazies]

how did u lose that much plz tell me  ireally need to lose weight if i wanna be a scene girl help!!!

[metallord1234567890]

I went from eating probably over 3,000 calories a day to not even a fraction of that, and over the Summer I began to work out a lot harder. So pretty much just eat healthier and work out.

[DavyDave1313]

just follow this and other excersises plus good nutrition and youll be good in a few months :)

[FUELEDbyVEGGIES]

@metallord1234567890 - Good for you man! I don't know how to get rid of excess skin, I just wanted to congradulate you on your success. Keep it up.

Veggies

[metallord1234567890]

Thank you, =].

[strings86]

crunches can work for your upper abs but now that I see this exercise it might as well work for the lower abs. I'm going to try it. Thanks!

[treemantris]

Are these exercises bad for your back at all?

[Stofes95]

Someone has use that and got six pack?!?! if yes how long then?

[paranoideijet]

How about i just do crunches??

Hey can Someone answer me this i have a half-decent six-pack when tensed but i want noticable abs when not tensed.... is this a matter of just keep workin as i am....?

[PolarJamesSpice]

i am in the same boat and just do the hardest thing over and over again

[TheNumber2000]

Yeah i think what ur doing is correct. But try workin with some more challengin work out. pm me when u get those abs.

[censurabass]

it's just a case of getting rid of all the fat, even if it looks like you have no fat there there is most likely a very thin layer, just a 10mintues of cardio a day should burn it off in a few weeks or so (if you're training through the week aswell)

[ewlo1]

i finally got the six pack and i still ate hamburgers and junk food. i know if would handn't eat fat food i would have got my six pack soone. but its hard to avoid it bec ause it tates good. and this exercise does work too. i reccomend it

[002chargersfan]

i mean i allready hav a six pack

my lower abs r flat but i want to get the lower abs to show

[xJaysrox]

I feel it more in my legs than in the abs...

[tatsuryu]

Wow, just did it, and it really works my lower abs a lot more than I expected it to. Screw p90x, I'll just watch your videos for free. Thanks a bunch.

[HipHopMafiaGang]

The Ruler Is There To Assist Your Back From Curving Off The Floor.

[Himi92]

Why is everything in your sentence start with a capitalized letter?

[Hotbrazilianbabe69]

what does the ruler do.

[Cod4MastaDrPoocube]

you can feel the ruler on your lower back and that means your back is straight

[uuuurto]

You have to keep feeling the ruler on your lower back. It's a small help that makes sure your back is flat on the ground. That way you get a better exercise and you don't injure your self

[xXSkateBlankXx]

nothing. its just there.

so you know when your back comes off

the ground. the point of the ruler, is to

try to keep your lower back touching it at all times

;D
