    I am petite too at 5ft 2. I've reached 137lb but struggle with my abs. Any advice on ab workouts would be great
    Thanks

    Thanks all. :smile:

    @shellybelly395: Having "abs" is a matter of lowering your overall body fat. They are usually the very last to see but if you stick to a healthy diet and work your abs regularly, you WILL see them, in time. You can do it! Just keep going!

    Being 5'3" myself, I still didn't see my abs, even at 129lbs. Might've been 115-120lbs for me but I got preggers so I'll have to wait and see, lol! It's different for everyone but if you keep your protein high, keep your work outs intense and be consistent, you'll get there for sure. :wink:

    As far as exercises for abs go, there are countless ways to work them. Even squats (if done properly), work your ab muscles. I would google ab exercises and see what you can find that best suits you.

    I have had 2 c-sections (with a 3rd coming up in 3 weeks) so doing strenuous or isolated movements in that area was difficult for me. I stuck with exercises like squats, deadlifts, weighted step ups and stuff like that to best incorporate my abdominal muscles.

    Best of luck!
