The secret to developing great abs lies at least partially in ignoring conventional wisdom. For starters, treat your body as a complete unit rather than over emphasizing the waistline. The most common mistake made by most individuals is doing hundreds upon hundreds of abdominal exercises, but neglecting other calorie burning cardiovascular exercises. This includes walking, cycling, swimming, jogging etc. Strength training for the lower and upper body boosts metabolism, which is critical to low body fat.
THE 3 KEYS TO A TIGHTER MID-SECTION.
1. Eat A Low-Fat Diet.
2. Regular Aerobic Exercise.
3. Perform Specific Abdominal Exercises To Firm And Tone The Abdominal Muscles For 5 Minutes Everyday.
THE BEST EXERCISES FOR LOWER ABDOMINAL TONING.

Reverse Crunches - Lower Abdominal Muscles.
Starting Position: Lie on your back with your hands at your sides. Raise your legs straight up in the air. Movement: Exhale as you bend your knees while curling your lower body towards your chest. Inhale as you slowly return your legs to the starting position. Remember to squeeze your abs, and repeat as required.
Lying Scissors - Lower Abdominal Muscles.
Starting Position: Lie on your back on an exercise matt with your palms on the mat under your lower back and your legs outstretched. Movement: Exhale as you alternately raise your legs up in the air with a slight bend in them. Inhale as you lower your legs back down to the matt. Repeat as required.
Side Crunches - Oblique Abdominal Muscles.
Starting Position: - Lie on your back with your knees bent together, and your waist twisted so that your legs lie on top of each other to one side of your body. Make sure your shoulder blades are evenly flat against the floor. Movement: - Exhale as you bring your upper body off the ground. This involves a contraction of your oblique abdominal muscles. Repeat the required repetitions. Switch your legs to the other side of your body to work the opposite side.
