1. Mountain Climber
The first on the list of lower ab workouts to help you achieve that flat toned tummy is a mountain climber. You can easily adjust it to your fitness level.

If you can, push your feet off the ground to jump for the extra burn!
2. Scissors
This exercise is perfect to tone that lower abs! Lie faceup with your hands behind your head, shoulders off the floor. Lift legs off the ground and scissor kick alternating your legs. Try not to touch the ground with your legs.
3. Straight Leg Raise
This one of the lower ab workouts will leave your core on fire! Lie on the ground and place your palms under your butt. Lift legs together off the ground to a 90-degree angle and then slowly lower them to the ground again, however, try not to touch it.
4. Cross Body Climber
This exercise is similar to a mountain climber. The only difference – bring your left knee to the right side of your chest and vice versa. Kick your feet off the ground to add extra burn!
5. Roll Up
Lie on the ground with your feet flexed. Slowly lift your arms up and use your abs to gently roll your body up to the sitting position. Using your abs again, slowly lower your body to the ground again. This is definitely one of the best lower ab workouts for beginners!
6. V-Up
Lie faceup with your arms and legs extended. Using your abs, lift your arms and legs to meet in the air in the middle, rolling your core as you sit up. Then slowly lower your arms and legs to the ground.
7. Half Burpee
Burpees are probably one of the most hated exercises, but they are perfect to add to your routine if you want that toned flat tummy. Instead of jumping to the air, start your position in a squat, squeezing your butt and abs. If you want to focus only on your abs, don’t do the push-up, instead immediately jump your feet back and forward and stand up to the squat.
8. Bicycle Crunch
Lie on the ground face up. Lift your head and shoulders off the floor, same with your legs. Bring them to the 90-degree angle position. Twist your core to bring your right elbow to your left knee, straightening your right leg. Then, repeat on the other side.
10. Hip Lift
Lie on the ground, lift your legs up to the ceiling. Curl your hips forward your ribs, lifting your legs slightly more. Then gently lower your hips.
11. Scissor Kicks
This is another one of the lower ab workouts perfect for beginners. Lay on the ground, place your palms under your butt. Lift your legs slightly off the ground, one higher and one lower, then slightly cross them in the air; then switch your legs and repeat the movement.
12. Elbow Plank
A plank, just life burpees, is probably one of the most hated, yet effective, workouts. It is a great lower ab workout as well, so if you’re looking for a flat tummy, definitely add it to your routine!
