In this article, I’m going to reveal some ‘magical’ lower abs training spells that could make the likes of Harry Potter and his friends look like the ‘three stooges’ by comparison. However, as any magician will tell you, good magic is about creating an illusion.

1. The ‘Sit at your desk’ spell

If you’re an office goer who has to spend long hours at your desk at work, you’re probably justified in complaining about lack of time for anything, exercise included.

But wait… for this ‘spell’ to work, all you need is a desk! And a desk is what you have. Sit in your chair behind the desk and contract your stomach as much as possible. Hold this position for as long as you can. Repeat as many times as you can during your workday.

2. The spell ‘Watch what you eat’

Have you been fooled by my title? Do you expect something to come out of your food that, if you look at it, will magically trim your lower abs? I’m not suggesting anything so esoteric, I’m afraid, I’m simply asking you to be careful with your diet.

Avoid soft drinks, commercial fried foods, processed meats, sugar, salt, and foods high in saturated fat. Instead, opt for a edible diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and lean meats.

3. The ‘magic ladder’ spell

Finally, I have given you a caption with the word ‘magic’. You must be curious as to where my ‘magic’ ladder is. The answer: everywhere. Every ladder you find is a magic ladder, as long as you decide to climb it.

I know it must be tempting to take that elevator and get to your destination faster without breaking a sweat. Opt for stairs instead, whenever you come across them, and you’ll soon begin to wonder why you bothered using elevators. You can start modestly (doing about 3 flights initially) and gradually increase it by one or two flights. This third ‘spell’ will act as a cardio supplement to the abdominal workout I’ve listed under ‘spell’ under heading one, above.

Your lower abs are harder to trim. So, if you’re short on time or too much of a couch potato for any ‘serious’ exercise, you need to think outside the box and work your exercise routine into your regular daily activities so you get maximum benefits without noticeable effort. You’ll know you’ve arrived when your friends greet you with, “Hey Houdini, you look great!”
