    Thanks for the education and inspiration. I was brainwashed to believe that one would never see their abs if they've given birth:noway:

    I'm going to jump in for a bit of advice. I'm doing 30 day shred at the moment and once I'm finished want something a bit more abs concentrated whilst I'm losing more fat through the healthy eating.

    What would you suggest?

    FitnessBlender.com has some wonderful ab workouts! Take a look.

    I have abs again! I'm 30 and have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. Going to try to sort a picture out and post in a bit. I thought my tummy muscles were completely ruined after my last baby, but it is possible to get them back. Planks, squats and leg raises girls!

    Have no idea if this works! My picture posting success rate is zero so far!

    Edit; gah, still zero. Ah well, good job girls, keep it up!

    I've never done anything that really concentrates on abs. Heavy compound lifts will help fill in the muscles (that's why lots of powerlifters have abs at higher body fat) and losing fat to make them show. Once a week I do either ab wheel or hanging leg raises.

    I'm a 35 year old mom of 2 c-section babies. I worked hard and cleaned up my eating and found my abs again.

    I'm so jealous. I have abs but they are hidden under stretch marks and that baby sag. I'm working on it maybe some day I will look as amazing as you other ladies!
