It is certainly true you do need to be sufficiently lean in order to see your abs through the layers of skin but if they aren’t well developed they aren’t going to pop no matter how lean you are. Therefore, a well-structured ab program is going to be your key for defined abs and a sexy V-tapper you can be proud of next time you step foot on the beach.
The key to the perfect mid-section is reducing your body fat percentage and sculpting the abs through targeted training.
It’s not that I want a chiseled six pack or anything like that, but a lean, toned stomach is ideal when you’re spending your days by the pool or ocean. Not to mention, working your abs has plenty of benefits. On top of making your rockin’ bod look even better, having a strong core improves your stability and balance, supports your spine to give you better posture, and even reduces your risk of injury and disease.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that when it comes to getting your dream body, it’s a mixture of consistent exercise and a healthy diet. By doing the exercises below and filling yourself with well feel-good food, you can without a doubt get the summer body you want!

You may think that spin classes only target your legs, and while they give your gams a killer workout, so much of cycling has to do with your core. For the entire class, you are engaging your abdominal muscles to keep your upper body stable and in line. I try to do at least one spin class a week and always notice how strong my core feels afterwards. Just because it’s not marketed as a core workout, doesn’t mean it’s not amazing for your abs!(iv).

With poses like plank and boat pose, any yoga class is great for working your abs, but a core yoga class will take you one step further. In core yoga the focus is on poses and exercises that strengthen your stomach muscles.
