Stomach vacuums, l-sits and levers completely changed my core and how I look, bummed I didn't do these movements when I was younger.

[heatherm]

Full blown, fast as you can sprints. Hands down best AB workout.

[NathanRhwmf]

something they didn’t really discuss that you hear competitors that step on stage is gut health.
digestion is a massive component alongside the things they discussed imo

[jjhondoe]

I have found that staying at a healthy body fat% instead of dirty bulking and cutting helped with losing body fat around the waist

[Leah-xvzf]

Such great tips...I love you guys. Hands down, one of the best health and fitness podcasts

[mishmohd]

I wish more people adopt Nicole's attitude. great vibe.

[Ruudwardt]

Chin-ups and weighted chin-ups. Fantastic abs (all anterior core) workout that not many people know. I could do dragon flag without any specific abs workout after half a year of w-chin-ups.
Someone somewhere made a muscle activation study showing highest abs activation with chin-ups out of all possible abs related exercises. (rumor-anec-data)

Also anything on gymnastic rings, rope climbing is torture for core. The biggest plus is that most of these are not 'abs' workouts. For strength only L-sit hold, and leg raises on bar are great for beginners to intermediate.

Sprints! Sprints! Sprints! Make sure you learn proper form. Thats the answer

[SHFTChannel]

Never fails. You guys ALWAYS deliver great content! Thank you!

[yes]

Weighted planks, weighted side planks and back extension variants is all you need for core and that's on everything

[kendragarcia]

I loved Nicole’s energy! 😍 also! This video is just what I needed! 🔥

I don’t train my Abs much due to the fact that they get trained with other exercises throughout the week, I don’t have a six pack but I do see definition, the biggest thing I have found is diet and cardio plus resistance training all work together. Sometimes I see that if I’m holding more water I look fatter so I don’t fuss to much, here’s a tip, look at yourself in the mirror in the morning before you eat, you will see that this is probably the best you are going to look for the rest of the day….why? Because food, water, work get in the way of a flat stomach.

The guy in the red T-shirt always seems to know what he talks about and maybe not coincidentally looks the best as well ..

[holyduo]

Yea for women I think it’s actually engaging their core, not about doing more a abdominal stuff. Have you seen how they walk around, no core engagement.
Just learn to engage your core ladies.
Great advice men.

[tylervincent]

Sal, where did you get that shirt man? I like it

[kyledan]

"pushing the levels of how lean i was". what does it mean? cutting even more calories? doing more cardio?
i'm a man, 41 yo, 168cm, 62 kg, doing home bodyweight training and kettlebells daily except sunday, i walk around 10k steps a day and 5000 steps slow jogging, i eat around 1400 calories daily, and i'm losing weight since february. i lost 9 kgs and i have the same problem with the pouch. any advice, please :)

[MoonkeeYT]

I know they weren't but they looked really annoyed while she was talking at the beginning lol

[antoniaosborne]

So glad you emphasise this with females - its so widespread and what is the pursuit of such low fat all about it? Me included

[nicholaswoods]

Nicole def got around crazy in college

[markkfitx]

I’m from Jersey as well and I can even hear the accent coming from her 😂😂😂
