    Squats and deadlifts. My workouts are long enough without adding extra core stuff.

    I like to do leg ups and side bends with an 8kg Kettlebell. These really helped me months after my c section.

    He's right! abs are built in the kitchen eating at a caloric deficit will help with the fat around the abdomen. I just eat at a deficit and my stomach has been shrinking!

    To train the muscles, squats and deads.

    To see the abs, calorie deficit.

    It is all about getting the body fat down. That said, I do mostly leg raises and more recently it is usually hanging leg raises. I also sometimes incorporate planks and an ab roller. Of course squats and deadlift are a given.

    Lately I do five minutes planking of 30 seconds on/15 off, then a variety of floor exercises (bicycles, reverse crunches, whatever I feel like) interspersed with two devices my gym has. The Ab Solo Machine which is super fun and a Bosu Vertical thingamajig. Usually no more than 20 minutes total, I do arms the same day as a rule.

    Alot of crunches, like 4 sets of 40-50 reps. Plus standing ab crunch and the ab machine.

    Planks for life. If you've got room to lay down, you've got room for planks.

    If you want your abs to be strong, a lot of these workouts will help.

    If you want your abs to show, you have to reduce body fat.

    Lever progressions(front, back, side), L-sits, hollow body, and exercises that incorporate anti-rotation, anti-flexion and the general need for core stability

    If you want to have visible abs you need to reduce your bodyfat percentage by creating a calorie deficit.

    To develop your abs, a combination of compound movements and direct abdominal work may be of benefit.
