Lower Ab and Lower Back Training

Hey y'all! Here's a quick lower ab and lower back workout. Previously, I was performing this workout three times per week. However, when I split my workout into AM and PM sessions, I no longer had the time to perform this workout so often. So, I cut it down to twice per week.

I think this video may do the best job, out of all the ones I have posted, showing how to "curl" your trunk when performing work for the abdominals (lower abs in this case). Most people perform hanging knee or leg raises by flexing their hips. This means it is mostly a hip flexor exercise. Nothing wrong with training hip flexors or having strong hip flexors. BUT...if you are wanting to train your abs, it is not the most efficient way. The abdominals "curl" your trunk and do not perform hip flexion. Try this curling action the next time you train your abs whether it is a regular crunch or a reverse crunch.

I began do back raises just about the time I started to lift weights. I haven't had any lower back issues that I can think of. I do think this has played a part, but I also try to make sure I lift with correct "technique" at all times. It never hurts to have strong erectors!
