So i do alot of ab work. i do crunches and their variation and i do alot to target my lower abs but i never feel it and it seems i've tried everything. I can stay in plank position for 5+ min, reverse sit ups, where you drop you legs and bring up again without touching floor...and a whole bunch of others. any one have suggestion? or possible answers as to why i cannot for the life of me feel my lower abs or see any improvent? (ive been trying since i was 14 and i'm 20 now...i'm a dancer so i must have some!)

    If you can do reverse crunches then I doubt this will help but it's what I do so I thought I'd share. I lay on my back with my legs straight up in the air, crossed at the ankle, arms at the sides with palms flat on the ground. Then I squeeze my ab muscles so that my butt comes off the floor, hold, then lower. Works for me.

    Keep up the hard work, and lots and lots, and lots of reps.
