    hanging windmills and ? . medicine ball ? . chinese pushups and ? . Plus heavy lifting in other areas like squats will build alot of core strength. I'm not shredded by any means but I do okay.

    One thing that really gets definition in that core area is to mix in some running...try 3 miles on the treadmill every other day for about 2 weeks in conjunction w/ your ab workout...

    Also, yes, like dude above me said, that pilates ball is key...make that muthafucka ya best friend...

    Add cold water to anything you do.

    That greatly assists in burning fat and turning it into muscle and getting cut.
    I heard that drinking COLD, not room temperature, but ice cold water along with your meal helps metabolize fats, sugars and so forth.
    Also, make sure you don't have a Vitamin B12 deficiency which assists with the breaking down of all those things.

    And to work your lower abs raise your legs off of the ground.

    Here's a good tip a personal trainer gave me:

    When you are just sitting around doing nothing at all, be it TV or in the office, sit up straight and flex your muscles, hold and release. This doesn't seem effective but it really actually is over time.

    Ya i do that sometimes.. not with any consistency but i think in due time just like squeezing at the top it helps with definition

    Beyonce though? When have I ever dropped a photo of her? I don't think she is as bad as so many make her out to be.

    Same here :/ I forget sometimes so it's every now and then, not every moment I am sitting. When I worked in an office I would do them at our Monday morning meetings, lol. It's really no different than kegal exercises for women, just a different target area but consistency is definitely key.

    You're going downhill dear :/
    Since we're talking about the physical she did have nice abs, I'll give you that, until she decided to get all "White Hollywood" and lose weight.

    But there are a million other women who have just as nice if not nicer abs... especially bodies overall.

    Dieting and running.

    Ab workouts are good but I learned that the best and quickest way is to make cardio your bestfriend.

    You can also try and use a fat burner if desire more extreme results.

    Just like dude said, no matter how many crunches and twists you do, your not going to see nothing unless your diet is on point. Master the diet first.

    Word up.

    All these fancy crunches are great but you don't need all that ? .

    When I went on my cut diet all I did was cut out the junk food and did cardio workouts.
