@@redefiningstrengthOC Not easy mostly because there's no such thing as lower abs. lol There is just abs. No matter which ab exercise we do it works the entire ab region. I only do reverse and hanging leg raises and my whole ab area is fully developed. Great video though.
Hi see this is where you are right but wrong. Yes you don't have separate lower ab muscles, BUT you can activate the lower abdominal region to a great extent with certain moves. I've looked at tons of EMG studies. - redefiningstrength.com/do-you-really-have-lower-abs/
This was a super video. I will be working these into my core routines at home and at the gym. Thanks for giving each exercise a simple, descriptive name.
Muchas gracias, tus rutinas son increíbles, he aprendido mucho y las pongo en práctica. Me gusta que casi no hablas nada y todo el tiempo estás enseñando con práctica. Dios te siga bendiciendo...
These are great. I have a set of 12 that I do and these add some more to my list of things to do randomly. I had abdominal surgery four months ago and only now am I able to confidently do hard abs work. It will take some time to get back to where I was.
Hi...cori, i have been following you recently..nd i cant stop myself from saying that these days on internet its difficult to differentiate the good from the bad..but you are simply amazing nd i am a huge fan of yours...you are a master of your body u make all the exercises look so easy..can u also share some links of your vedios containing exercises with kettle bell, medicine ball, exercise ball, cardio exercises strictly for begineers..because i want to learn them nd teach them to my clients as on 1 feb i am opening my gym in INDIA
Hi Prashant! Thank you so much and best of luck as you open your space! So do you need links of current videos I have or you are looking for ones specifically for beginners? Honestly I generally use the moves I share here with every level and just break them down as needed. For instance, when teaching the swing, I'll break it down and even use the modified hinge in the kettlebell leg video from last week....I'll try to think of some things though for beginners. It may sound weird, but with beginners it isn't so much different movements, but really just taking the time to coach through the fundamentals :-) Hope that helps! If you have any other questions, let me know!
What can I say I am speechless well wondering here and there for right direction to get ultimate perfect exercise for lower abs your variations are so good that I just got right channel for my body thanks a lot dr..
I am a new fitness coach and love all of your videos! I get a lot of great ideas from you, so thanks! If you can post some hip and shoulder mobility exercises that'd be fantastic :)
Hello Cori, Ive been learning lots from ur tutorials, I think your presentations are probably the best that I'm subsribed to. I have a PT client who is obese. We cannot do jumping or running, as he so big he has trouble walking. I'm starting with basketball, me feeding him the ball, to shoot baskets. This way we can exercise the upper body and create a fun exercise routine. I was also thinking about him lying on his back and doing leg exercises, and then upper body weights. We are working outside until he's ready to go to a gym. Can you do a video for extreme over-weighted people, and suggest some low impact exercises, or suggest a good source I can look at. Many thanks
So med ball drills are great. I wouldn't have him lie on his back. That generally isn't so recommended although not horrible I guess if on a bench. I would have him squat to a box or bench. Do standing glute activation with bands. Seated exercises are awesome too. Like off a park bench even. Pressing the ball or a med ball. Pressing weights. Leg raises. Those are all options. Interesting idea too for the video!
I like how you share so many variations :) rare that a channel shares so many different exercises for the same body part - it's definitely a good thing since some people have certain injuries preventing them from performing certain exercises (e.g. people who have injured wrists can't do the hanging leg raises but can perform the other exercises you showed.
Thank you! Totally agree! I try to give options also because sometimes people don't have the experience or mind-body connection to do something to work an area so they can then try a different move to make sure their abs are actually working :-)
How many times, per week, should someone ,practice these exercises? Also, how many of these exercises, should someone add at his/her schedule and how many reps or sets? Is it safe to exercise every day? Or after an ab training day , should follow a rest day? Thanks...
Looks brutal. I'll try a few in the gym today. I don't have those sliding things at my gym and the floor is tacky. I need something with wheels I think.
@@redefiningstrengthOC I had a look on Amazon and there are a ton of cheap sliders. Do you have any recommendations? Also, found that you went to BU and played on the tennis team. I went there for grad school and played at BC undergrad. Small world.
Yes I would recommend regressing until you can get your abs to engage properly. This may help - redefiningstrength.com/stop-letting-your-low-back-take-over-25-lower-ab-exercises-and-workout/
Exercising and high protein can help as much as possible. But depending on how long things have been stretched out so to speak, you can have loose skin no matter what you do.
So I have the following videos in case you missed them: Kettlebell Core - th-cam.com/video/409bjxFQyac/w-d-xo.html Balance - th-cam.com/video/EcK8btsPN9Q/w-d-xo.html Kettlebell Legs - th-cam.com/video/QiuurOktD6o/w-d-xo.html
You shouldve/couldve explained the "hollow body/back against the floor" thing😕 ive just come across this concept only 2 days ago and its typically one of these crucial advice we never (too rarely) hear about... If it wasnt for this information, i wouldve jumped to these exercices with my arched back like i always have and that wouldve significantly decreased these exercices efficiency... I know you (all of you) are here to advertise and sell your workout programs but i think the reason why channels like athlean-x have so many views and so much respect is because they dont skip minimal but still important information and tips... Anyways, i still love your exercices (they're so creative) and your channel. Thank you😊
That's why I have a whole pelvic tilt progression video. :-) This one is the library, that one explains things. Both are needed for different people to reach their goals. YOU may need explanation but many of my followers are trainers looking for moves and want the quick reference. But thanks for your feedback :-) Also, as someone who puts out a free youtube video every week, has 1000s of articles for FREE on their blog and does two facebook lives for FREE every week, I'd say I do care about people more than just trying to "sell" something.
I dont know if you'll see this but first, THANK YOU for intelligent videos. You are obviously educated and always put out quality information. Second, please please where are your pants from??? haha i'm in love !!
Probably choose 3-8 for a workout depending on the length and intensity I needed. And I actually love doing something interval based over rep based for these.
I’m following a lot of your sessions and think they are fantastic. Thanks so much. One comment if it’s ok. I never see or hear you breathe very much. I’m sure you do but it doesn’t seem obvious. I coach boxing and always emphasise with my students that I want to hear them all the time. Anyway it’s not a criticism- just an observation! Thanks again
Holding my head up for crunches messes up my C4-7 as they're a little crunched themselves. Is it cheating to put a towel under my neck for support? Or, can I do the same exercises from a bench holding the legs with my head on the bench?
haha but that cat/cow is more of a stretch. With vomiting cat it is that hard ab engagement that makes it different so I felt a different name was needed hehe :-) - redefiningstrength.com/stop-letting-your-low-back-take-over-25-lower-ab-exercises-and-workout/
I would recommend using a few a few times a week. Just depends on your goals. The key is to make sure you feel your abs and not your low back or hips taking over.
Some will tell you to keep a neutral spine. You never want to intentional arch. I think it is key when mastering leg lower movements to also know how to control the posterior pelvic tilt as that is also a function of our glute max.
How do get you lower spine to stay down whilst doing abs I am one of those who duck walk and forward my hip I am starting to concentrate to put my spine in the middle
Really nice exercises, I like u gym. Can u please tell me the dimensions of your gym. Am having a plan to open a box gym. Really great exercises keeping going.
Your classes are great and your way of teaching amazing! Just love it!
Thanks!
Great exercises. Would love a follow along video.
Great exercises for abs. Thank you, especially in these confinement times
Glad they help!

Omg finally a lower core workout video. Thank you so much.. I've been trying your exercises and I love them. Now this yesssss 💪🏽💪🏽❤
Awesome! Enjoy!
It's not so easy to work out lower abs, thanks for the new exercise Courtney👍

I wanna know How to keep spine neutral while these workouts
Looks brutal. I'll try a few in the gym today. I don't have those sliding things at my gym and the floor is tacky. I need something with wheels I think.
I find if you put down a towel and use sliders that can also work ;-)

What's your background ? As a certified personal trainer I love your variations !! And what is the cute dogs name?
Thank you! And that was Coconut. :-)
Hello. I love your workouts, and they are on my to do list. I have a question, how many reps are needed to be done? Thank you in advance :)
Hi Mila. This will help you decide the reps and sets you need - redefiningstrength.com/how-many-reps-how-many-sets/
Hi Cori! Have you made your app yet?hopefully I didnt miss it. Love your vids! You keep delivering😀
hehe yes! I have my Redefining Strength On Demand app :-)
Redefining Strength is that on satellite? Also what is your opinion on somatypes? Does it matter how you train?
V-UPS and Knee Tuck Rainbows are exercises more for obliques if I'm not wrong?
They do work your obliques as well but if you try them you'll feel your transverse abdominals as well.
Vomiting Cat. I've always heard of it called the Cat/Cow or the Cat/Camel but I'll take Vomiting Cat for life.
haha but that cat/cow is more of a stretch. With vomiting cat it is that hard ab engagement that makes it different so I felt a different name was needed hehe :-) - redefiningstrength.com/stop-letting-your-low-back-take-over-25-lower-ab-exercises-and-workout/

Good exercise. It really attack abs. By the way love your shoes. What model is it? 😎
thumb up!!! (as usual) ;)
Thank you!
Thanks!!!!!!!

WOW thanks I needed those but one question how often should those exercise be done?
I would recommend using a few a few times a week. Just depends on your goals. The key is to make sure you feel your abs and not your low back or hips taking over.
Redefining Strength Okay thanks 😊😊
Do you want an arch in your lower back when doing ab workouts or do you actively push your lower back to be in contact with the ground?
Some will tell you to keep a neutral spine. You never want to intentional arch. I think it is key when mastering leg lower movements to also know how to control the posterior pelvic tilt as that is also a function of our glute max.
