When I am doing pushups, sometimes I feel so pain around my lower abs region? Am I doing them right? I am working out my lower abs?
Ps I have heard that they are breathing methods that you can do to get really nice abs just by breathing…is that a load of BS or is there some truth to this? |

Not sure why you'd be feeling pain there, but nice abs are almost completely diet. Breathing isn't going to do it. Exercise alone isn't going to either. |

There's a lot of debate about that, but I'll tell you what's worked for me, my wife, and every person we know that has seriously stuck to it, and that's paleo/primal. Basically cut out ALL processed foods. Grains, sugar, bread, pasta, sweets. No potatoes. Eat meat, and tons of green leafy veggies. Some fruit and nuts. Cheat only occasionally. Keep working out and you'll trim down, if you don't then you need to start looking at portion sizes too.

Seriously though, pretty much anything I'd just recommend mixing it up. You don't want to eat ALL red meat, but you don't want to eat ALL lean chicken either. Some red, some chicken, some pork, fish etc...

Work on planks. When doing pushups your body should be a perfect plank so one exercise complements the other.
To get "visible" abs you'll need to lose the layer of fat over them which means a proper diet and exercise. But to strengthen abs just requires abdominal exercises. You can definitely have some solid abs surrounded by fat. |
