Have to agree. Over the last few years have lost 20-25 pounds. Belly is flat, ribs are slightly visible, and there is some ab definition. Have been doing a few yoga poses to help strengthen the lower back, but they also seem to be helping the abs. Changing your diet is the hardest part. While you're at it, might as well make sure what you're eating has the least (or no) added elements. Eat natural like our ancestors ate. Grains are not your friends. Grrrrrrrrr!Abs are mostly a function of genetics, lowered bodyfat, and diet. Dial in your diet first.
I have 80 days before leaving for a beach vacation and need to get in beach shape before hand. Does anyone have any tips on ab workouts?
Abs are made in the kitchen so you need to eat less to drop body fat
Lift progressively heavier while you do it to maintain your existing muscle, or as much as you can as you drop weight

Your food intake is key. My birthday in May of last year I weighed 235 lbs....today I weigh 180lbs with my goal being in the low 170's.
I'm pretty fit and happy with where I am except I still have a little flap around my lower stomach right from under my belly button to each side.
Eat healthier better foods, drink a ton of water, lots of cardio plus do ab work. I'm not big on supplements but I will say that MuscleTech Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite works (use as directed). That and protein powder are the only products I've ever used.
Please do not take any offence, but most fat-burning supplements, including Hydroxycut, can be phenomenally dangerous to the health and can cause irreparable liver damage (often requiring liver transplants), seizures, cardiovascular disorders and kidney failures - even death. Additionally, there has been two separate class action suits filed against Hydroxycut, among many other personal suits, for various other health injuries. These damages were done to healthy individuals who took it as directed. I shudder to think what would have happened if someone has an undiagnosed thyroid condition or heart problems.
Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite is banned in Singapore and in many European countries precisely because the medicinal ingredients causes so much health problems. The FDA issued a warning against this. It elevates your resting heart-rate to that of a work-out rate which is remarkably unhealthy. Plus, the company claims that studies (as this watchdog group pointed out) has been done but doesn't list them. In addition, it contains Yohimbe, which should only be used under the supervision of a doctor.
Again, I do not want to start anything, but I did have to point out the huge potential danger of taking this - or any other supplements. My close friend has severe liver issues because she took these supplements (as directed and had no prior health conditions) and I know she isn't the only one. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what she is going through.
And, as recent reports revealed, many or most 'herbals' are totally bogus. I think the number was 80% of samples from Walmart, Walgreens, GNC, Target etc that had NO trace of the label ingredients. With unregulated supplements, your choice is basically between bogus crap and dangerous crap. Yow. How to ensure your herbs are pure? Grow and pick them yourself.Thank you for bringing this up. Some of these highly advertised health supplements are really dangerous.
Plank pose daily.
You might want to try a 30 day plank pose challenge...google will show you several fitness sites with instructions.

You cannot take supplements to get abs
You have to drop body fat (calorie defecit) and lift heavy shit
Abs are mostly a function of genetics, lowered bodyfat, and diet. Dial in your diet first.
Just an excuse. Anyone can have abs. Put the Oreos down. Cut your carbs, hit the cardio hard, and work those abs. Don't let these fatties discourage you. 80 day's without carbs is more than enough time to get abs unless you are a fat pig.
I was referring to the genetics part. Besides the 5% of people with thyroid issues and type 1 diabetes, the rest of the people are more than capable of achieving a six pack. 95% of the fat pigs out there are like that because they eat too much garbage, and don't exercise enough. Just because your mommy and daddy are pigs, that doesn't mean that you are genetically predispositioned to be a pig. All that it means is that you had terrible parents with no willpower, and lack of knowledge and teaching skills to show their children how to eat correctly.
