Working smarter not harder?

Maybe she really enjoys Zumba and spin classes? Maybe she takes the class because it's fun not to lose weight? Idk. I'm
A runner. I'm 5'8" 130 pounds, and I'll be the first to admit, I wish my body looked a little different, but I'm not willing to drastically decrease my running or change my diet. I frequently like to complain to people that I wish I had a 6 pack.. Do I know how to get those results? Yes. Am I willing to make the changes? No.

Lol kinda like the whole "train smarter not harder". I get a lot of enjoyment out of spur of the moment marathons or doing back to back workouts. Do I know it's ineffective? Yes. But I do it because it's fun to
Push the limits or maybe I'm just a crazy person who can't follow a plan! who knows :P

She can like those things all she wants but it's not going to get her the body she wants at this point in her life. I'm glad she's active - that's wonderful and better than the alternative. But IMO, complaining about things you are not working on/willing to change is a waste of energy and breath.

And totally agree with JoRocka, you could get abs easier than most people (according to your weight/height). Give lifting a try! You could reach your aesthetic goal.

Hell, at 5'8" and 130, she doesn't even NEED lifting... toss in some planks and bodyweight ab work and she will be fine. Yes, if you lift, you probably don't need to do crunches or ab work... but if she doesn't want to lift, then adding in some crunches and leg lifts will help add pop to her abs.

My abs came as a result of me boxing and the training with that involves planks, situps, russian twists, leg lifts... all body weight activity (or some with the added weight of a medicine ball). I only recently added lifting into my routine.
