@@quick7868 everyone has abs indeed but you have to get to a very low body fat percentage to be able to see them . The abdominal muscles are muscles and it needs to be trained to grow just like any other muscle . When it grows, you won’t need to be at a very low body fat percentage to be able to see them .
Super aesthetic video! I can see how much work you've putted into this one. It's really informative and motivational without making me feel like "i cant do this". Thanks girl!
To anyone who's reading this: You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful. Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do! I hope you have a fantastic day :))
I love this. This is a great way of thinking. I'm always going to remind myself of this whenever I go running, biking, or any kind of exercise. Thank you!
Totally agree! When I had anorexia I was very skinny (obviously lol) but my actual abs where not tight, I’m now currently going for that toned look, I’m still somewhat struggling to eat more but I’m reaching my protein intake goal and I’m probably going to increase some more, I just started to weight train and finally getting that fit look. Great video
Not only was this shot with so much love and care, but there was so much thought and compassion to your words and vocal quality throughout this. What a phenomnal and inspiring video. Perfectly informative. Aaaand subscribing!
Unless you are genetically gifted or have less than 16% body fat, your abs will not show. Exercising your abs has diminishing returns, unlike your larger muscles. If you train your legs or arms you can start to see results after 4 to 6 weeks. This is why influencers will only target large muscle groups. You can increase muscle mass faster this way. If you want an example of abs that you can see around 20 to 50% body fat, look at any strongman competitors. Strongman abs are built with compound exercising. Body builders tend to be the only people who need to train abs. Also, abs really should not be trained by themselves. The Abs muscle group is one of many included in your core. If you want a well defined abdomen you should train your entire core instead, which includes everything between your pelvic floor to your diaphragm.
@@schumerthd This is complete nonsense. When you neglect training any component of your body. It will lead to a imbalanced myofasicia development. This eventually leads to a overuse injury of a weak muscle. For example, majority of people do not ever train their rotator cuff muscles and they will get a tear there eventually. Those who do not train core, tend to get a lower back injury later when squating, deadlifting, etc. When your abs are only the synergist muscle, they will limit your athletic ability when you need your abs to be the prime mover. You will never be able to do a ab roll out or many moves in gymnastics/calisthentics because many of the advanced moves require a strong core.
I store almost all my body fat in my belly area, my upper body in general has always been thicker than my lower half. Even when I was 97lbs I had a belly. I am also quite short and have a very short waist so there isn't much room there to begin with. If my waist was 2" longer I would look much different lol. All bodies are different, I just try to focus on being strong and healthy, even if I may always have a belly :)
Thats your diet and do cardio and weights to burn off that fat,i have the same but not anymore..i balance it out now my waist is small arms legs bigger...and i cut my food portion in half but ate loads of protein
Same! Honestly, i started lifting cause i wanted to get stronger. It was embarrassing how weak i was. In the process, i started to see some ab definition.
your videos are just so on point and I love how consistent you are! Everyone I follow doesn't seem to upload anymore so thank you for being active and bringing me joy :) especially during this endless lockdown in Sydney
You motivate me to be my best self. I’ve been working out for 1 year and 6 months and I finally see the progress. I am so incredibly proud of myself! Your videos give me the courage to continue my journey. Thank you! ❤️
Girl your abs are on point. Enough to see them pop, with enough body fat to smooth the skin and still have a sexy feminine look! Remember Ladies, not all girl have the same body type, but if you are confident in your own skin, around your man or other guys, that confidence is attractive! Know you are beautiful and focus on overall health, (immune, mental, hormonal, &athletic) rather than just looks!
Sophie you're the best, and truly the only fitness influencer out there that I truly enjoy, and follow advices! Please continue being so active on UA-cam, I don't like being on Instagram, and seeing you post new videos make my days so much better. Much love, give loie a kiss for me
Sophie, your content is stunning and is becoming more so every single day! This video is not only aesthetically gorgeous but it was quite helpful. So sad that I naturally store my body fat in lower belly lol
Its interesting she mentioned the vacuum workout as very effective for inner abs, I have recently been doing deep breathing exercises to help manage stress and anxiety which also effect weight gain, and its pretty much the same thing and even aids in digestion! So its great that it’s confirmed here. I know a person who says they have abs just from breathing as well. Will defo keep doing it.
The key for visible abs is low body fat. You can train as much as you want bug if you have a high percentage of fat you will never see your abs. Abs are made in the kitchen first.
Really good video, and good tips for people trying to get fit. I feel so much better after getting rid of trying to be "skinny" and my body looks at its best when I'm focusing on muscles and feeling healthy.
The cadence in your voice, structure, tonality, articulation, timbre, intonation and volume are 10, if not 100, times better. So calm (enthusiastic yet composed), professional, feminine, confident. You can easily be an announcer for a big big company's promotional video because your voice is so soothing. The moment I saw you, I knew, this girl has HUGE potential!!! Personally, I find the vocals precisely on point and in tandem with the background music which doesn't dominate over yours while still inducing a very pleasant feel c.q. experience for the listener. This is superb, this incredibly well-timed tonal structure in your voice is quite literally, PERFECT SOPHIE. My God! Oh, and the overall presentation of the video was also very nice ('netjes' in Dutch). Keep up the good work!
Sophie, I really love watching your videos! I love your videos in which you show how you workout or what you eat, etc (ofc, it's gonna take a long time for my diet to get healthier haha) because I feel like I can relate?? Like you were on a fat loss journey like I am on currently and it makes me happy to see how much you've progressed! Most of the people I see are on a weight gain journey for recovery or other reasons which I do love seeing but I can't relate to. And your videos are really fun to watch! ❤
I just found your channel yesterday and I’m already loving it! i absolutely love workout and nutrition videos that are done with sound reasoning and logic behind them! 💛
I have inborn lumbalization (inborn anterior pelvic tilt) so instead of having 2 upper days I have 2 abs days since it is crucial for me to work them out a lot, so my stomack muscles keep my back straight. I used to listen to all the experts saying "there is no need in training abs"- but it is only true when you are 100% sure your health allows it. I ended up having disc hernia bc of such experts.
Thank you for mentioning the genetic component. Diet is IMPERATIVE but where you store fat is a huge factor that not many influencers talk about. It takes longer with more effort for some but don’t give up! Thank you for the content! ❤
Loved the video!! I was wondering, what does your workout schedule look like during the week? Is it like, monday: legs, tuesday: back or something like that? :)
I agree. My fat distribution used to be like you. Nothing on my upper body or tummy, only on bottom and upper thighs if anything. 3 babies later, now it is definitely on my tummy and less on my thighs and bottom (nooo). I've had to reduce my body fat down much more than when i was younger and had to up my boots game
So true I tend to store fat on my stomach genetically (very pear shaped 🍐) and getting abs would require extreme low body fat for me. Also I could never eat avocado because the calories are so much!! I require a pretty large caloric deficit to lose fat
I knew from the first video of yours I found I needed to follow you and then I started to watch this video and saw you started to ride In Amsterdam! I’m a Dutch-Indo and have family all over in the Netherlands!!!
I bumped into your video by accident, but loving the content! If you don't mind my asking, what camera did you use? Looks awesome! Any tips would greatly help! :)
people who have good abs genetics and put in the work get results and show off on social media. People who have ugly genetics no matter the work end up hiding from social media... social media has a beauty bias, beautiful people showing off, ugly people hiding. It's still worth it to try your best and see what you can get because you never know until you put in the work.
It's soo wrong to not seperatly train Abs. If you train your back (pullday) daily, you should never skep abs generally. If you generally skep abs, your back will be stressed to much and a deficit will arise. If you train abs daily, you also will be stronger at pullday. Your body needs a balance.
I love her ab workouts , especially the side plank one! you will be sore but being sore is a good thing . Thanks girl I started going to the gym. There not as nice as yours but they work!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hey, i have a question, although it has nothing to do with abs. So, if i can't feel a deadlift or a squat with 10 kg in my glutes anymore, should i increase the weight?(i have a proper form)
Thank you very much this Video!!!☺️💞 assuming one reached its physical goals in a calorie deficit, do you Go on in a calorie deficit to maintain it? Thank you very much for your answer!!!🤗
Gorgeous video …. So pleasing and informative. I always train abs additionally at the end of my workout routine and that’s why they are my strongest point on my body. I also eat heathy balanced foods and my genetics are good as well. I get tons of questions every day about abs and so on. This is perfect video to refer to. 🥰
I'm on a keto diet for better overall health, just started 2 weeks ago, and I want to gain weight and muscle. I ended up losing weight instead :( , and I'm a skinny female so I really don't need to be losing anymore. Any tips on what to eat a lot of for muscle growth? Great video, very informative!
I know my abs will never be like hers because my mom and I have the exact same body type and when she was a fitness competitor, she never had a six pack like how you see here🥺 genetic plays such a roll in muscle layout
Main concept: Abs are MADE in the gym, and REVEALED in the kitchen.
No everyone has abs regardless if you train em or not
Or him, whatever tf

It all comes down to weight training. When I just do cardio, I get this skinny-fat look, but when I use weights, I get in the best shape. :3
Could this be done at home or just at the gym?
Wait, danes have to workout to!?!?🧐
I would mix it up! Like for me I do strength, cardio, and Pilates.

Yay finally a fitness influencer that talks about working out the abs!
I never understood why most don’t work out abs I thought it was so important!
