The pelvic tilt strengthens and tones the lower abs.

Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent and feet parallel.

Keep your arms at your sides.

Pull your navel and lower it toward the floor by contracting your abdomen.

Imagine flattening your lower back against the floor.

Do not use the muscles of your legs or buttocks.

The scissors exercise will give your lower abs a good workout.
