    Give hovers a try, you'll feel what you're working right away. I also use a Fitness Blender 10 minute abs video.

    A calorie deficit and adequate strength/resistance training. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1161603/so-you-want-a-nice-stomach

    Direct abdominal work doesn't flatten your belly and in fact, overtraining your abs can have the opposite effect of which you intend.

    I don't do much in the way of direct ab work, but I like hanging leg raises.

    I do a lot of compound lifting which works my core pretty good. I do a little direct ab work after my workouts if I'm so inclined and have time.
