The emphasis on those rectus abdominis muscles, so you can see results in record time. Consistency is key, Earnest says. While everyone's fitness journey is unique, Earnest explains that she personally felt a difference in her lower abs after around four weeks.
And, she shared her key for getting the most out of lower abs exercises: When thinking about engaging those muscles, try picturing swimming at the beach. As a big wave heads toward you, hunker down and engage your core so you won't get knocked over.
