5 Effective Lower Ab Workouts For Men

#4 Wood Chop

The wood chop is a wonderful exercise that targets the abdomen and the obliques with unrivalled precision. Moreover, you rotate your entire body while performing the wood chop, making it an ideal full-body workout.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand beside a cable machine and grip the appropriate attachment with both the hands, with the feet placed shoulder-width apart. The arms should be fully extended and almost in line with the shoulders during initial position of the exercise.

Step 2: Pull the attachment across the body to the knee while also twisting your torso. Keep your back and the core tight while performing this motion for maximum efficiency.

Step 3: Hold the position for a second and return to the starting position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tips: You could also perform this exercise using free weights for added resistance and enhanced stabilisation challenge. Perform low-to-high and the high-to-low variations to target different muscle groups.
