How could I get her abs?

I would really concentrate on your diet- eat paleo for a few weeks and see if that helps your abs pop out more. Veg, meat, a little fruit, nuts. Low carb, no sugar, low sodium- I bet that would do it. Good luck- I think your abs are great now, but I also see the appeal of super-ripped girl's.

I don't think 10 minutes a day is going to cut it.

I do slant board crunches holding a weighted medicine ball - am up to 50 at a time at slant lvl 8 (max). I do planks - regular and side every other day. When they get too easy, I'll add weights. I do hanging crunches - bent leg, sideways, and straight leg. When that gets too easy, I'll add weights. I spend a heck of a lot more time on my abs than 10 minutes a day. It's starting to show, as the fat is disappearing, the muscles are there, underneath. I don't really want to look like the 2nd picture, but I do want solid muscle on my tummy area, and to do that, I have to work for it.

While losing fat...so they show.

First your abs are definitely more attractive!

Second, abs are just like any other muscle they need to be brought to failure to get stronger and they need time to recover. You should not do abs more than twice a week.

Your core has 4 focus points-
Upper abs- Sit-ups
Lower abs- knee ups
Obliques- twist movements
lower back - back hyper-extensions

It shouldn't take you more 10-15 minute per core workout

Stick in the 12-15 rep range, use weights to bring on failure in that range.

i agree with everyone... i like your abs!

butttt.... your goals are totally your own!

what about trying "military cruches"? also known as the "bicycles"? like... like on your back and then bring one knee up and touch it to the opposite elbow in a cycling motion...those really do wonders!

I'll bet that girl knows exactly how much sodium she's eating. That look is 80% diet for sure. I'll bet she spends more than 10 minutes on abs, too. You could probably get her abs with some focus on your diet and a little more working out. I'd skip that tan, though, LOL.

Your abs are great!

The second picture looks sickly. I would not want those abs.

Your exercise selection seems appropriate. (Others that I like are planks, T-pushups, weighted crunches (hold weight above your head and go heavy for lower reps), dragon flags) Mix it up with lower reps for weighted exercises and higher reps or failure for bodyweight exercises. Also agree with Russell that they shouldn't be done everyday.

Also, remember that compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, overhead pressing, chinups, dips really utilise the core strength as well so including these in your exercise program will help a lot.

As others have said it is all about BF%. She is obviously very lean (veins in arms on a chick is pretty damn lean). That being said, looks pretty close to in season BF% for a bodybuilder and that generally is not sustainable ie. she may look like that for 2 weeks a year.
