Abdominal Frustrations

moefinch

I am so extremely frustrated with my abdominals!
I workout 6 days a week. 3 days of spin classes and my strength workouts work each muscle group 1-2 times weekly with at least one rest day in between for the same muscles.
I have a nutrition coach and he has helped me learn to like new foods and I eat clean now. I have 1 cheat meal per week on Saturday evening.
My abs!!!! I cannot seem to get any sort of definition whatsoever! I have not had children (nor do I plan on it) and I was never overweight enough to have loose skin.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am so determined to get muscle definition!

Patience. It can take a long time and a lot of work to get real ab definition, expecially for a woman. Your BF% needs to be pretty low, and that doesnt happen in a few weeks.

You could try doing planks and crunches, I do ballet, gymnastics and fencing which also helps with your abs. Maybe you could try one of these? You'll need to be patient though, it takes a long time and a lot of effort!
EDIT:
You could also try pilates or yoga?

generally your bodyfat will need to be in the teens to show abs...

keep eating in deficit and lift heavy ..if you are not doing compound lifts, then I would look into building program around those...
