  It's no secret that women love a flat, defined stomach on their husband or boyfriend. Men can obtain a six-pack quite easily with regular exercises that focus on blasting lower abdominal fat. Always be sure to warm up before working the abs or any muscle to avoid tight or strained muscles later on or the next day. A healthy diet low on junk food will also help maintain a flat stomach and fit physique.
  
  

Abdominal Barbell Rollout

• Start this workout by kneeling in a push-up position with hands placed shoulder width or wider apart on a barbell. Arms should be "almost locked" according to MyFit.ca. Proceed to push the barbell ahead of you with your body dropping to the floor to the point where it is inches away from the floor. It is at this point that you roll the barbell back towards you back to your starting position. This workout is quite difficult but works the lower abdominal area and other stomach muscles effectively. For a more advanced workout keep the body in a push-up position minus the bent knees and push the weight away from the body.
  
  

The Plank

• The plank is an exercise that looks deceptively simple but is actually an extremely hard position to maintain thus making it an ideal workout in terms of lower abdominal exercises. Start in a full push-up position with arms placed at a 90 degree angle on the floor. Your weight should rest on your forearms. Make sure your elbows are directly under your shoulders so that your body forms a straight line from your head to your feet. Suck in your stomach, which will help keep your body in a straight line rather than sagging in the middle. Try to hold the pose for at least two minutes. The more you repeat this exercise the easier it will be to hold for longer periods of time.
  
  

Jack Knives

• Begin this exercise by lying on the ground facing up or on a workout bench for those more advanced in their exercise routines. Knees can be bent or kept perfectly straight. Perform a crunch exercise by bringing your knees and shoulders together. Repeat as desired. This exercise not only targets the lower abdominal area but also helps with balance and coordination, making it a favorite among athletes.
  
  

V-Up

• Lie down flat on an exercise mat and and simultaneously raise your arms and legs together. Keep arms, legs and lower back as straight as possible while performing this exercise. Lower arms and legs slowly and exhale before repeating.
