my ivory tower
Ok so Im off to the gym and I spend about 20 mins on my abs which has lead to getting a bitter definition higher up but never feel like I am working my lower abs. Any exercises anyone can suggest.
 
Every time you do a set of sit ups, finish it off with a minute of 'core stability' - the plank is a good one. It will work wonders, but is painful.
 
Surely, any abs exercise that involves movement of the legs will work the lower abs.
I would reckon leg drops would be about the best.

Ah cheers- I sort of so that but do the plank with my legs on one of those inflatable balls- should I lose the ball and do a normal plank?

I would suggest just doing it normally. Hanging from a heaves bar and doing leg raises will also help, and especially if you add a twist onto some of them as well as that will work the obliques.

Leg raises.
Put a ball between your feet, keep your knees bent, move your legs up and down.
 
Its just much harder to get definition on your lower abs,keep doing what you do and Adjust your diet if you want the complete six pack.I tend to compensate by working on getting definition on my obliques with side bends with dumbbells and twists to finish my ab workout.

ay this is good,
the best though is if you use ( i dont know the name , but that platform you can lie on. it is raised and you can put it an angle) use it at decline, the steeper the angle the better the work out, best done if you go midle , side , side leg raises, if done properly with good form,toes pointed and legs absolutely straight it burns like a bitch ( np pian no gain , dont buy that other shit) its like arnold says . "the burn is better than sex"( in austrain accent of coarse)
