    Just reduce your body fat and they'll be there.

    No gym and no weights? On top of regular diet and cardio (running), you can do planks, sit ups and ab crunches.

    Sit ups, cruches, leg lifts (lay on your back, hold your legs together straight, lift to make 90 degree angle, lower them down, but dont let them touch the floor) planks, horizontal bike (lay on your back, leave one leg straight - not touching ground - and bring the other knee up to your chest, while doing this, have your hands behind your head, and bring your elbow forward to meet your knee, then alternate legs/elbows) try to keep a good posture whilst doing your sit ups, it works your abs a lot more. Try holding a can or something slightly heavy above your head (arms straight) when you do sit ups too, just to add intensity.

    Diet! You can do body weight ab exercises all day long but you gotta eat the right foods too! You have the muscles but you need to reduce body fat then you can build the muscles up. Just takes dedication.

    Abs are definitely made in the kitchen. (I say pilates helps a lot as well, but you really do need to lower your body fat %)

    I have a low body fat percentage and no abs. So I figured she meant there was a diet that helped build abs. dummy me! :)
    I guess I need to just build the muscle now. poop.

    Sadly, I do think genetics play a certain role. If your body normally carries it's fat n the midsection, then there may be a possibility that your body fat would have to get crazy low in order for a 4 or 6 pack to show. I have noticed in myself and other women I know....right around 20% bf, you get some oblique definition. 4 or 6 pack abs seem to come with lower than 20%

    Totally disagree with you. The reason she still got fat and not 'toned' (hate to use that word but i mean low body fat) is she prolly dropped her calories way to low and didn't know how to diet correctly.. Hence alot of people turn skinny fat not ripped! As for abs showing at higher bodyfat, it depends if you're muscles are well developed (by training and hard work) you'll have thick muscles that will show at a higher body fat! So i think it's better if you said it depends on how well are your muscles developed ?

    Whoah I am not fat, or "skinny fat" actually I have a 4 year old... And I'm pretty sure thee only way I can make my mid section firm is by working on my abs/core... I'm a bike rider /mountain biker. My whole bottom half is excellent from the hips down.. Which makes sense since I hit the bike hard.. I like HIT but I'm sure it's not the only thing that will give me what I want. My arms are pretty toned from biking as well it's straight up my mid section. Since I lost the weight having had a baby shows twice as more.... Had I not bore a child previously I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be in this situation .
