Here are 3 exercises for lower abs:

1. Lay on your on your back with your legs stretched out on the floor. Put your hands on your sides and rest your head on the floor. Now all you have to do is lift your legs to a 45 degree angle of the ground and then bring them down again, but make sure not to rest your legs on the floor. Repeat this movement for 10 - 15 repetitions and then rest your legs back on the floor.

2. Now the second exercise, continues from where you left of with the first one. Simply raise put your hands behind your head and lift it up of the ground slightly. Now all you do is bring in your legs to your stomach bending at the knees then kick them out again but do not make your legs touch the floor. Repeat this movement 10 - 15 times, and then we will move on to the third exercise.

3. The third exercise you can do, for your lower abs is as follows. Bend your legs at the knees and let both big toes touch, so that your knees are outwards. With your head still in same position from the last exercise, that is slightly off the ground with your hands behind your head for support, rock your legs back and forth using your bum as the pivot point. You should feel it, right where you want it, that is your lower abs.

There you go, 3 simple exercises you can do for your lower abs. Now it is very important that you do not overdo these exercises, always start with a lower number of reps and build your way up. Also if you start to feel any discomfort or pain, stop the exercise immediately, or you are going to end up hurting yourself. Always remember to breath as you do these exercises, or you will go south.

Don't forget to have fun with these exercises for lower abs, if you do not have fun with your workouts, it all starts to seem like work and we all know how much we hate work, right? Play some music, watch tv just have fun with them.

Three simple words. Only someone who's never been pregnant would not be aware of all the good stuff that's packed into this description of this wonderful season of pregnancy.

Your due date's finally just around the corner and you're hitting the last stretch loaded with energy and great excitement in anticipation of that heavenly delivery. It's official! You've made it to your third trimester: Weeks 29-40.

Don't pat yourself on the back for too long, because there's still work to be done taking care of both your and baby!

The Last Lap

You continue to grow but begin to feel somewhat tired with never-before-felt aches here and there. Hang in there. There's still a while to go and still must continue with your exercises. Don't forget to stay on that healthy, balanced diet, too.

For now then, get up and moving. As long as your due date remains, moderate exercise is key, remembering to double-check with your doctor or Lamaze coach about varying your exercises or going at a slower pace.

Remember: cut back if you feel even the least unwell or overstressed. Until then, let's go!

Here's a third trimester pregnancy exercise to try that can take you right through to D-day (Delivery Day)!
