Workout question. Options

I know this is a car forum, but judging by the amount of replies in the "protein shake" thread, it's apparent that there are a lot of people on here that like to go to the gym. I just want to know what's a good routine/exercise that works the lower abs? Normally, I use 2 leather "loops" (each arm through one) that are hanging from a pullup bar. While hanging in the air, I pull my legs straight up to my chest as far as I can. I also do a twisting rep, where I'll bring my legs sidways up to my chest to help work the "side" abdominal muscles. This workout has been really helpful, and I know have an "8-pack" because of it, but my upper abdominal muscles are considerably more defined than the lower ones. Does anybody know a good routine that works the lower abs?

hmm, what is a good way to burn fat with less impact. I've been runing for years, and i feel my joins are starting to hurt from all the excess impact.

i'm going to let you in on something most people don't know.... you burn more cal's walking then you do running... so walking for 30 minutes i better then running for 30 minutes.. if you want to lose fat....

umm? im not seeing it. i dont want to be the skeptic but that doesnt seem logical.

yea it didn't seem it to me either .. but the way i was convince was when my gym hooked me up to the mechine(the same ones doctors have when you take a physical) ... well one day i ran for 15 minutes i burn like 80 cal.. the next day walked for 15 minutes burned almost twice that... i was in shock .. but then the trainer at the gym explanied to me like this... .

when you run from point A to Point B .. you'll take about 100 steps... but when you walk you'll take 500... when you run your flying for about a second between step.. but when you walk every you have contact on the ground all the time.. so there is more body movement walk then there is running... hope that makes sense to you ...its light so it doesn't make sense to me right now..
