You have probably heard about Jillian Michaels as she has been the fitness coach on the TV show “The Biggest Loser”. Jillian Michaels is a successful fitness coach and pretty much walks the talk (so to speak). Her body is just proof of how awesome her training plans and fitness exercises are. Now I assume with that behind us that you are looking at some ab exercises, or more specifically Jillian Michaels Lower Ab Workouts that give you the same great flat stomach that Jillian Michaels is showing off with. Well, here we go …

Before we look at the actual lower ab workout I need to point out that you have to (this is a must) adjust your diet , too. No, I do not want you to buy some fancy meal diet plan or stuff like that, but I want you to eat healthy. It is highly critical to the success of Jillian Michael style ab workouts that your diet matches your goal. So, get rid of all the soda pops and sugary drinks and yes – stay away from Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi and whatever zero calorie drink you are thinking about. It is a proven fact that the sweeteners in these drinks actually increase your cravings for sweet stuff dramatically.

For other healthy things to eat, add at least one serving of veggies and fruits to each meal. Stay away from fatty foods like burgers and fries and only enjoy very lean meat – that preferably comes grilled. Stay away from anything fried and consider healthy carbs when it comes to carbs (more on that later). Drink a lot of water as it really is the best drink for you anyway.

Lower Abdominal Exercises a la Jillian Michaels

Here you can see some examples of lower abdominal exercises you can do. I recommend that you do these type of lower abdominal exercises at least twice per week as part of your full ab workout.  Additional cardio vascular exercise is also a definitive must if you want to get rid of that layer of fat that is hiding your abs..

Without further discussion, here are some great lower abdominal exercises for you that will help you to get a great looking abdominal area just like Jillian Michaels (and by the way – these exercises work equally well for men and women).

Suspended Leg or Knee Raises

The overall idea behind this exercise is to be completely suspended off the ground and to raise your legs up which in return trains your lower abdominals. If you are a member of a gym you might have seen a station that kind of looks like a chair with no seat really. You enter the station and place your forearms on the arm rest of the station and slowly lift yourself off the ground that way. Now that you are suspended (yes, that is the term that is used here) in the air, you can do two types of exercises. The first exercise is to lift your knees up and to pull them towards your upper body, hold them up there for a 3-4 seconds and then slowly lower them back into the starting position.

Trust me, after a few reps you will feel the burn in your lower abs – this tells you exactly where this exercise works out your body. Exercise #2 would be something for when you get stronger. The exercise is very similar but you will be doing leg raises where your legs will end up stretched away from your body and in parallel with the floor. Adjust the number of repititions as you, but keep pushing to increase the overall number of reps.

Hip Raises

Hip raises sound kind of scary, but they aren’t. This exercise is fairly simple, but very effective at the same time. To start with hip raises use a fitness or Yoga mat and lay down on your back with your legs stretched out straight. Now you lift your legs up and point your toes at the ceiling. If you have problems it is ok to use your hands for supporting the legs. I had problems for the longest time to have my legs completely straight and it needed a lot of stretching exercises like Yoga and Pilates to get there. Anyway  – the result: Your body will basically form an “L” shape when your legs are standing up straight. Now lift your hips off the ground as you extend your legs towards the ceiling. Hold this position for a few seconds, then let down and repeat again.

Now, these lower ab workouts are not really something special by itself. If you are interested in the full Jillian Michaels workout and fitness program, I highly recommend you check out Jillian’s website. It’s not an accident that she was chosen as the fitness coach for the Biggest Loser TV show. Jillian knows her stuff and instead of patching together a fitness program on your own, why not do it right?! The Jillian Michaels program is definitely a good way to burn all the extra fat that you are carrying around. The program comes from a source where you know it is done the right way so that you lose weight healthy, safe, and fast.

Where to go from here?

I actually did start with Jillian Michaels with one of her stand-alone DVDs that was released in 2008 and this thing got me going – at that time I was just not ready to go for the full experience. Now, if you join Jillian Michaels today and you dedicate yourself to work out, then this is what helps you to reach your goal. I am happy with how I have changed over time. So, get your bottom off the couch and sign up for a great full body workout with Jillian Michaels. Her training is not just the workout and the fitness and that’s what really makes the difference.
