Hi Lalo -

Of course, the secret to "visible abs" is low body fat, but can certain exercises, or too many of certain exercises, actually be detrimental to the appearance of the midsection? If so, what exercises should be avoided, and what exercises can strengthen the core without adding bulk?

Thanks, Lalo. Kudos to you and your team, and keep up the good work!

Hi Lorraine,

I wouldn’t worry about the exercises you do for you abs, worry about the times you don’t do your exercises . I can’t think of an exercise that would be detrimental for the appearance of your abs. The only thing that comes to mind is when doing abs, concentrate on low weights and high reps instead of heavy weight and low reps and don’t use any equipment. Also, focus on your abs and good posture while doing the exercises.

Take care!
