Abs... olutely! 😁 .. I've no idea how I stumbled in here, but, she's very impressive and a great presenter too! I hit the gym just once a week due to work/carer responsibilities but do a bit from home a couple of times a week in between. A few of these leg raises in the mix not a bad idea at all! :)
I achieved her beginning abs doing 40 a day for 1-2 weeks I obtained the other photo doing 100 sit-ups a day for less than a month every one's body is different also I achieved best doing 100 sit ups and 100 abdominal crunch's we're I lift legs only ! you can lift legs only 1 inch and pump to get faster results. ..hope this helped 😜😝🙃
yep that natural.. she is taking steroids..which results in testosterone building up in her body,, which leads to body heir and big penis like clitoris
Natalie am I doing leg raises wrong? I pummel through 75 reps easily. My feet goes down till it’s about an inch off ground and then back up until both legs are 90 degrees. Any advice guys?
This video was a blast to make! I hope you enjoy it! Just in case it isn't clear, the first clip in September is already 1 month of ab training, so I started in August. Love you all so much ❤️💋
Stephanie Buttermore I am a recent subscriber to your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and sensible approach to fitness! It has made fitness much more approachable and sustainable for me and my partner. Thanks from my partner and myself! ❤️ from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada!
@@nicolasdemers2758 mostly true. But i'm at a point where i personally don't think it's healthy to loose weight anymore than that. It can become pretty dangerous. I've been doing abs these past months and did actually find some results but not as much as Stephanie here (some began to peak out lol)
Stephanie!! OKAY so I just wanted to say I've been training abs for exactly one month (since you posted this video) and WOW. My core was always my weak spot but not anymore. For so long I fell into the routine of "you don't need to train abs as long as you're engaging your core during compound lifts and other functional exercises." This just goes to show that fitness is such a personal journey and what works for one might not work for another. Thank you for always putting out quality content that actually provides practical tips to your followers. Appreciate you!!
@@carleysoul That's awesome! I'm still keeping up the ab routine and making tons of progress. I still obviously have a layer of fat over, but I'm actually starting to see the definition through it anyways. I just sort of have a thick core right now haha
There are two ways for your abs to show! 1. Reduce your Body Fat Percentage "abs are made in the kitchen" 2. Increase the size of your abdominals through hypertrophy training! I think so many people focus on the first way but forget the second way is equally as important. I think your video really shows this point Stephanie, thank you!
HERE ME UPP!! If you want to see your abs you need to do TWISTING EXERCISES!! Don't just stick to basic linear motion movements, try adding moves like the Russian twist or some different cable moves!! They really bring out your abs and showcase them better than ever!!
I can vouch for this! I did the same ol' abs exercises for months and while I got results, the 'abs lines' only came in once I added the twisting stuff - side planks etc. The abs are a large muscle group so makes sense that exercising different regions gets the most effective results.
Yeah because those exercises work your obliques as well as your rectus abdominis so your entire abdomen section tones up and you can get 'ab lines' and 'v-lines'. However, you don't need to do them to see abs but obviously, it helps.
@@islagurney3272 Actually, twisting is mainly your serratus and obliques. But yes. If you can get your serratus and obliques good, then the rectus abdominus is already showing
@aditi basu leg raises are amazing, reverse crunches,side heel touches with head slightly raises....I do nothing that pulls or strains my neck as I have had spinal surgery so anything to engages my core I’m fine with 👍🏻
I love how you included the part where the exercise needed to be both sustainable and scientifically make sense! As a workout newbie, I always dread working out because I know that I'm always overwhelmed by the amount of different exercises I need to do and how it always takes more than 10 minutes to complete the workout. I've found a new motivation from watching you video that doing something small, like leg raises, for only 5 minutes a day everyday will actually start to yield results and open doors to new progress. Thank you for that and wish me luck!
My dad was a body builder. He said it's better to do more set of one or 2 exercises instead of doing 7 different exercises at once without repeating them. Worked for him, for me and for
Let's show Stephanie buttermore lots and lots of our love and support as her subscribers and fans and let's show her how much we love her and her videos because she rules and deserves more subscribers much love girl
im a 30 year old mom of 2 and i been going to the gym for 2 years i first wanted to target my glutes and that i did, then i felt that my lower body looked more fit then my upper. then i started doing upper body, then my stomach looked unfit while the rest of me looked super fit..... so now im doing abs and i get compliments all the time...... my goal is to bodybuild now, and im so passionate about it, i been so commited i dont miss a day even while on vacation, and i stopped drinking because working out is so important, thanks for your input it really helped.
very good point :) exercise will only "build the muscle". her diet made the most of the visual aspect.imho. also, ill question volume for hypertrophy too. but did "work for her" :) looking great too. but usually science & "it worked for me" don't go hand in hand heheheh. nevertheless, looking great
It's a combination. Its different for men and women. For men it's around 12 bf or less. The more developed the abs the higher the bf% can be while still seeing them. Yes they are made in the kitchen but if they lack development. They wont be very defined even on low bf.
a lot of fitness youtubers just give out generalized claims that may be well-intending, but actually can be misleading/detrimental for the health of viewers. i love how steph actually uses SCIENCE and statistical data to back up her research, because fitness IS a science!!
Pulling your stomach in works very well too! Holding the abs for 5 second for every rep really flattened out my stomach. Plus you can work your stomach nearly all the time even while just sitting at work. No weights or crunches required!
@@famimosquera Look up and understand how to do a stomach vacuum properly. Stomach vacuums for 10 mins (not straight, 10 second holds with 10 second break) does a lot more for your abs than crunches and leg lifts do. Vacuums are one of the few things that works out the third layer of your rectus abdominus
@@SenseiDonGraham Works wonders. I've never had my abs sore sore until I used to do vacuums. Felt like I couldnt stand up properly afterwards of 5 mins.
U have to train everyday for 6 months. Every morning after a long walk(cardio), Do, *1-2mon. Leg raises *1-2mon. Abs Crunches *1-2mon. With weights crunches & leg raises @GYM *hve a clean diet(50%proterin 30%carbs 20%fat) @maintain level. *carbs around ur workout. #you have to get ur body fat% to 20% first.😭 (get lean first) #To get defined abs u may at 12% body fat%.😲
I feel like Stephanie is the realest fitness model ever, like she doesn’t act all perfect and she has cheat days and shows us how much she loves food and she also works out rlly hard and gets a breathtakingly hot body. She’s always just giving off such positive vibes. Even her relationship the way she acts to Jeff and the way he acts to her is honestly so adorable and sweet. Love this Chanel, I don’t even workout at all but watching rlly sweet people calms me down, god bless 💞💞
lea hall damn bro calm down, I know how many people act fake behind a camera I’m not stupid. But I can tell she doesn’t she’s genuinely a positive and motivated person, plus it’s my opinion I never asked for urs or ur hate
@@AstheaTV Except to have that low of a body fat percentage, where you would see ab definition with minimal training, you're probably not "in the kitchen" (in the sense that you would likely have to have a highly restrictive, potentially disordered diet). The same is true for any muscle group, yet we never talk about them like that. You're going to have more arm/leg/back/whatever definition the lower your body fat is, yet people still train arms/legs/back/whatever in order to increase that definition at a healthy body fat percentage.
@@MystiqueHarmony This. Tired of people not using proper verbiage on this topic. Everyone has Abs. Everyone! if you wanna see your abdominal muscles, you need to get lean which means you need to eat clean and burn them excess calories. You don't even have to do crunches of any sort to build ab muscles as there are many other exercises like squats that indirectly train them. Other than when i was in high school and the military, i never trained my ab muscles - but when i decide to get lean, because of all the indirect training, I'm blessed with great abs. Always get questions as to how do you get abs, and to make them look like that etc etc. For me it was swimming, squats, and deadlifts. All that core training got me the abs aesthetics i have today. But it takes hours of cardio and a micro managed diet to see all this hard work.
I really appreciate the bar graph you inserted in the middle of the video which breaks down the 12 different ab exercises and which ones are most effective for the upper, lower and obliques. Also thanks for referencing your source, now I can check it out myself! Also, like others are saying, this video is extremely well done, blending the science, your knowledge and personal experience in easily digestible language. Thanks!
Gail Smith but Stephanie does mention that you have to have a lean body so she's right when she says that abs are made in the kitchen. Eat a whole foods plant based diet, with no oils cut out processed foods, lose the fat then the abs will show through. Work then then they will show themselves more. Too many people think of eating healthy to lose fat/weight but change your mindset to eat healthy to be healthy and the weight will fall off. Look up Jeff Novic's you tube video in calorie density.
@@donwetherell8738 yea but not everyone is lookin 2 lose weight! Im NOT overweight AT ALL, i jus want a flat stomach..not even a six pack, i care nothin bout tht..jus FLAT!
@@mrkanobe I've never heard anything so dumb. Carbs don't make you fat, fat doesn't make you fat, a high calorie surplus over a long period of time makes you fat. However there are literally hundreds of studies that show that low carb diets increase the risk of diseases and even mortality. If you like that way of eating keep doing it, but stop recommending it to others
You are SUCH AN INSPIRATION!! I am a microbiology and chem undergrad who really needed the assurance this was the right way to go. And you make it look so easy! But I am 100% COMMITTED now. You are so awesome! And I never comment on anything haha Thank you Stephanie!
The fact that you lay it out at the outset...six months.. is fantastic.. people expect "infomercial" results and that's just not realistic. Everything explained and demonstrated in a complete manner. .. only way it possibly could have been better would have been a subject with slack/weaker abs doing the workout and progressing into abs .. You were in great shape to begin with. Totally agree with the diet, and shedding weight points as well... abs won't show beneath even a thin layer of fluff
A Fascia Blaster Mini 2 or Paddle would be great for ab definition, it works amazing. I did it on my man who is heavily into bodybuilding and weight training, and after a single blast the results were amazing. It works for men, or women. Especially men, simply because they have the natural muscle mass that testosterone provides.
With good genetics and if you're super lean they will show all the time but they won't look like they "pop-out" just slightly raised square ridges if that makes sense. If you're picturing abs from movies then they are flexed.
Such an inspiration! I am nowhere as fit as you are but with this guide and commitment, I shall get there! Thank you so much for sharing this to the world, Stephanie!
Yay! I’ve never been so early! I feel so connected to your content because I’m also half thai and do heavy weights, also I used to have abs but I’m trying to gain muscle and I’m on a bulk :)
Finally. A video on building abs that actually is beneficial and doesn’t require so much lol. Thanks for this! I already do the ab machine but i don’t train abs everyday and my belly is honestly the last part of my body that’s been stubborn in my journey. I’ll incorporate leg raises EVERYDAY alongside the ab machine.
she does MAJOR cheat days once a month....around 8-10K cals...and does not starve herself. check out her older vids. she's known for how much food she can slam down. Her metabolism is peak.
@@yellowbmblbee its proven that there is no such thing as a fast/slow metabolism. it all comes down to calories in & out. making up for the cheat days requires a lot of movement and/or calorie restriction.
@@yellowbmblbee She is obviously much leaner at the end of this. She was obviously doing a cut but wanted to appeal to her audience and make them think they can get the same results by doing crunches everyday and eating fast food at the same time.
I'm glad that you put that it worked for you. Being so tall I can only do exercises that don't require to bend my spine too much as I periodically have lower back issues. I'll continue to work on everything else until I figure it out. This belly has to go.
Actually men store more fat in their belly area. Whereas women store more fat in their legs and ass. It's more difficult for women to gain alot of size(muscles) because they lack testosterone. But women can still easily lean out and show their abs if they just diet and exercise.
Realized that I could either lay on my bed and finish watching the video, OR get in 3 sets of 20 leg raises before the video was over. Now have a daily reminder set in my phone. Lets do this! Thanks for being so inspirational!
first do cardio atleast 40mins, Then do the abs work out. 2:22 40 times and 4:17 80-90 times. 3-4 times a week. You will see results atleast in 6 months.
Dimitra Manouseli Oh great :) haha , It’s so much better than long cardio sessions , i like to do Malova Elena Skipping routines , and Blogilates Pop hiit routines :) check those out
Love this and watched it a few times now. I've been incorporating this idea to my workout routine, along with the stomach vacuuming. EDIT: it’s been three months since I posted this, and I actually now have visible abs! Not quite as visible as Stephanie’s is in the video, but better than I ever have had! Of course I’m doing other workouts and am eating a high protein gluten free diet while watching calories too. This and stomach vacuuming really works!
Good for you girl, I am obsessed with my abdominal, it's the weakest part of my body, but I am 94 percent to were I want to be, I am doing almost everything right, and that's the key, and I am told that in time it will come, and boy I can't wait,💪
I’ve been having trouble being committed to doing abs everyday but after seeing your results, I am most definitely going to do abs every single day! Thanks for the inspiration!!
I LOVE tou videos Steph. I LOVE how u explain in details how to do a certain workout and how you include results of how it works scientifically also please keep it up for every part of the body!👍🏻
Doing a single exercise seems like a more practical and easier way for beginners (who has a really inactive lifestyle aka me) to actually get my ass off of my couch and workout.
I’m want to abs training , but I’m mother of two , I run 50 miles a week , and I will benefit from a strong core I will use your training on top of my routine to see what I can do
I don’t know if you did this in other videos but I think it woulda been nice to see progress photos. Especially since you changed up your regimen every couple months. In other news.... dayum girl.
Appreciate your honesty and to be honest even without the full abs you are gorgeous. Your a captain marvels Brie Larson x1000 because of your personality and energy.
Getting abs is a great achievement in life as its not just about the look, but also the will power and discipline achieved. Like you said going everyday no matter what.
Abs are NOT made in the kitchen, they are made in the gym working on them consistently, BUT in order to see them you need to eat correctly to a certain body fat to see them
It’s not bullshit. I know many people don’t have to work their abs directly but that doesn’t apply to everyone. Some don’t have good separation and need to really work abs to get good definition. It’s no different from other muscles. Some people have great bicep peaks without targeting biceps and others need to target biceps.
Real boxing Fan1 Your saying what I’m saying in a different way, just because you don’t directly work on your abs doesn’t mean your not working them out, more and likely I would say MOST not all people do compound movements which a lot of them work your core as well, yes genetics play a part and no one said anything about changing the shape of muscle your arguing points that no one has even said. All I said and to be clear, in order to have great abs, you need to work on them, do genetics play a part? Ofcourse but they are NOT made in the kitchen, it’s when they are visible. If you compare 2 people who are the same weight and need to lose the same amount of weight to have their abs visible, one works directly on their abs and the other one doesn’t, CHANCES are the one who works on them directly will have a better 6pack. No one is arguing we don’t have muscle because everyone does. I really don’t know what your point is or what I said was inaccurate so if you could point out what specific point I made wrong so I could correct myself
Real boxing Fan1 okay then I wasn’t clear I assume, you literally don’t have to lift a weight in your life and still have muscle, not just abs but with any muscle group, my point was in order to have GREAT abs, or biceps, or calves or any small muscle in your body, you should work on them to optimize them and not neglect them because yes you might have them there but 9/10 if a person works on them directly and you don’t they will more and likely have better looking abs. Even if I was 20-30% body fat I would work on my abs just like any other muscle group because once you lean down you will see the best result compared to if you never have worked on them directly that’s all I’m saying
It depends. Some people are lucky enough to have a fast enough metabolism that they just have to train their abs in the gym/ at home to see them as they already have a low enough bf (because any calories they eat are burnt pretty quick). Others have to manage their diet more than work out to see their abs. It all depends on genetics, lifestyle and what works best for you. There are plenty of examples of people that have abs solely from working out and visa versa.
@Real boxing Fan1 fair enough but there's a difference between being able to see your abs and having defined abominal muscles. Everyone has abs under their fat.
Thank you for posting this AND HOW you did it. I needed this guide. I avoid abs days like it’ll kill me BUT the way you tackled it is actually realistic for me. 4 sets of 20 reps each day I have time for that!!! As a busy mom you just showed me this goal AB-solutely reachable! You just made my day better! Yes...yes I am very corny BUT Thank you for this most valuable video girl!!!!
@@RiKo18 I'd love to see what kind of progress glutes make after 6 months training everyday. A lot of people say you need rest days etc. to grow. Also what kibd of musculature woild develop as a result. I bet millions of people are curious to see that result
I use my AbCircle Pro machine.....went into caloric deficient and showed abs in 2 wks...always..sometimes 1 wk..I have had that machine since 2009.....never fails.....gets me back right quickly when I fall off from exercising and healthy diet..I also do wood choppers and use Captain's Chair for lower abs....💯💪.....your hard work paid off that's awesome 🌟 🙂......
I love the honing in on time, reps and target area. Like this is very attainable. That chart was so bomb lol. Definitely might screenshot it! I love core workouts, so this will be nice to consider in how to incorporate some daily movements that CAN give me progress with consistency!
Hey peeps I thought hey this does not take much time to do so I will try it right now I just finish day two and thought I would comment updates on were I am with it🙃 Day 1: It as easy for the first two reps then that it was harder for the third fourth rep . . . My core felt like IT WAS ON FIRE Day 2: I did three reps and there third one seemed a little easier only did three because I am tired from staying up writing a extra credit paper for class that I stink at so going to fail that class. At least I will hopeful have abs by then though😭 Day 3: I did three reps they when good other then the fact that I accidentally injure me left leg it would pop ever single one I did and hurt bu that’s not because of the leg lifts Day 4: it was just like yesterday my leg still hurts Day 5ish: ok so I caught the flu yea not so I didn’t work out for a few day but I am now healthy and back at it today I did two reps of leg lift and one rep of crunches feeling pretty good and it spreed it out more over my core
Do you have any tips for training your abs without making your waist wider? I naturally have a smaller waist and it gives me shape since I don’t have hips. I don’t want to have abs but look like Spongebob 😩 edit: just want to add that I do ab vacuums already I’m just inconsistent with them
Abs like spongebob (lol) are given by huge obliques together with a narrow upperbody. My guess is that won't be you since you have a smaller waist. Also, you are pretty lucky with a small waist. If you have no hips, you can do loads of lower body stuff (Steph has a great glute and legs workout on here) and it'll give you some lower body gains. That way, if you're obliques did grow a bit, your butt etc would be bigger. Try not to worry. There are not many women with huge obliques that have blocky bodies who are natural.
Lord Chumpington Thank you for your help! Also yes really good point since most women I’ve seen on the var/stalanzolo are very blocky in the mid section
Thank you thank you thank you for this!!!! I work full time and so busy with kiddos that this quick ab routine is exactly what i needed! I love love love that you had to work up to using the machines! My hubby would tell me to use the machines but they always hurt my back and they were very difficult for me...probably because I had just had a baby! Thanks again! Love the videos. I can't believe how much you are able to train when going to school so many hours and study..dedicated to fitness!
Stephanie Buttermore thank you so much you are the best. Am happy that you got time for me from your busy schedule. Thank you you are such a great person. Keep motivating and encouraging Thanks again xoxo 😘
I really appreciate that she's showing it literally took 6 WHOLE MONTHS to see the results...setting realistic expectations (I'm with that)
Abs... olutely! 😁 .. I've no idea how I stumbled in here, but, she's very impressive and a great presenter too! I hit the gym just once a week due to work/carer responsibilities but do a bit from home a couple of times a week in between. A few of these leg raises in the mix not a bad idea at all! :)
ABS really depend on body fat percentage, There is no need to train them every day.
Yes
Super motivating to actually stick with something.
I’m trying to achieve your before pic results 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Me too
I achieved her beginning abs doing 40 a day for 1-2 weeks I obtained the other photo doing 100 sit-ups a day for less than a month every one's body is different also I achieved best doing 100 sit ups and 100 abdominal crunch's we're I lift legs only ! you can lift legs only 1 inch and pump to get faster results. ..hope this helped 😜😝🙃
Russian Reload thnxxx so much I needed this, I need some serious toning done and I don’t know where to start.
yep that natural.. she is taking steroids..which results in testosterone building up in her body,, which leads to body heir and big penis like clitoris
"When I m committed to something I m committed" was the best part of this video ...
Notes for myself:
Month 1-2 Leg raises x20 3-4 reps
Month 3-4 AB ceunch x20 3-4 reps
Month 4-6 Crunch machine x20 3-4 reps (10 pounds-15 pounds)
Ruby ルビー you mean x20 reps 3-4 sets.
bruh then write yo notes somewhere else
Just eat well with it
Make sure you eat 1g of protein per pound of body weight. And let your abs rest one day in between. So one day working out and one day rest.
Here, I took notes on my main takeaways:
- consistency is key
- leg raises are awesome
- Crunches also :)
- Add more tension, not more sets
leg raises yess! ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°
Natalie am I doing leg raises wrong? I pummel through 75 reps easily. My feet goes down till it’s about an inch off ground and then back up until both legs are 90 degrees. Any advice guys?

Leg raises are definitely underrated. No money required or travel to the gym. Awesome.
3x20 a day of the same exercise sounds so doable im so gonna do it!!!
How its going
Are u doing it
Does it work
It only worked for her cause she was already lean enough, you can train your abs but they wont show unless you reduce your body fat %
You need around 12 percent or less to see them and 1 exercise won’t cut it best exercises would be hanging leg raises but there all good
Guess who's going to have abs in about 6 months from now?!
christel khoury
Not me
It ain’t me

carleysoul did it work and what do u do if you don’t have a crunch machine
You insured me to train my abs everyday! I've been doing it for about 2.5 weeks and I can feel the results!
There are two ways for your abs to show!
1. Reduce your Body Fat Percentage "abs are made in the kitchen"
2. Increase the size of your abdominals through hypertrophy training!
I think so many people focus on the first way but forget the second way is equally as important. I think your video really shows this point Stephanie, thank you!

I do my abs at night when the kids are asleep. 100 reps most days (approx 4-5 days) and I have tighter abs
@aditi basu no you need sturdy surface & pull the bellybutton in so your pelvis is not tilted
@aditi basu leg raises are amazing, reverse crunches,side heel touches with head slightly raises....I do nothing that pulls or strains my neck as I have had spinal surgery so anything to engages my core I’m fine with 👍🏻
Hahaha that old guy doing crunches as the gym next to u is my grandpa😂
Omg😂
I love how you included the part where the exercise needed to be both sustainable and scientifically make sense! As a workout newbie, I always dread working out because I know that I'm always overwhelmed by the amount of different exercises I need to do and how it always takes more than 10 minutes to complete the workout. I've found a new motivation from watching you video that doing something small, like leg raises, for only 5 minutes a day everyday will actually start to yield results and open doors to new progress. Thank you for that and wish me luck!
My dad was a body builder. He said it's better to do more set of one or 2 exercises instead of doing 7 different exercises at once without repeating them. Worked for him, for me and for

@lea hall wow someone is sour and needs more love lol
@lea hall LOL you're hilarious

im a 30 year old mom of 2 and i been going to the gym for 2 years i first wanted to target my glutes and that i did, then i felt that my lower body looked more fit then my upper. then i started doing upper body, then my stomach looked unfit while the rest of me looked super fit..... so now im doing abs and i get compliments all the time...... my goal is to bodybuild now, and im so passionate about it, i been so commited i dont miss a day even while on vacation, and i stopped drinking because working out is so important, thanks for your input it really helped.
Can you address the dietary component? Obviously you've been on a bit of cut...you look smaller/leaner at the moment. Thanks again for the video.
Yes, she has clearly lost I'd say around 7-10lbs. These results weren't purely a result of ab training.
very good point :) exercise will only "build the muscle". her diet made the most of the visual aspect.imho. also, ill question volume for hypertrophy too. but did "work for her" :) looking great too. but usually science & "it worked for me" don't go hand in hand heheheh. nevertheless, looking great
Abs are made in the kitchen obviously.
It's a combination. Its different for men and women. For men it's around 12 bf or less. The more developed the abs the higher the bf% can be while still seeing them. Yes they are made in the kitchen but if they lack development. They wont be very defined even on low bf.
@@SwipeWright exactly...people get these results by dieting hard and not doing abs any days...🤷🏾♂️
a lot of fitness youtubers just give out generalized claims that may be well-intending, but actually can be misleading/detrimental for the health of viewers. i love how steph actually uses SCIENCE and statistical data to back up her research, because fitness IS a science!!
It's also good to do lower back exercises along with abs training.
Real boxing Fan1 Yeah u can, they just wont appear unless you lean down
@Real boxing Fan1 Enough already with the caloric balance myth. There's no such thing as caloric deficit, it's all depends on the person's organism
Who is this blockhead talking to?

This is a quote of Evan Centopani and you lived up to It :
Every little thing, done each day, It ads up!
Meal to meal

💪👌👊
Loved it ! You broke the goal down into achievable parts and got amazing results. Literally so jealous and proud of you. Thank you for sharing.
Pulling your stomach in works very well too! Holding the abs for 5 second for every rep really flattened out my stomach. Plus you can work your stomach nearly all the time even while just sitting at work. No weights or crunches required!
The Stomach Vacuum!
Wait, just by pulling your stomach in? I start now! , trying to lose my baby pouch so this will help 👍😊
Clau Dia Yes, your core get really strong. Women comment that my stomach is really flat,
@@famimosquera Look up and understand how to do a stomach vacuum properly. Stomach vacuums for 10 mins (not straight, 10 second holds with 10 second break) does a lot more for your abs than crunches and leg lifts do. Vacuums are one of the few things that works out the third layer of your rectus abdominus
@@SenseiDonGraham Works wonders. I've never had my abs sore sore until I used to do vacuums. Felt like I couldnt stand up properly afterwards of 5 mins.
U have to train everyday for 6 months.
Every morning after a long walk(cardio),
Do,
*1-2mon. Leg raises
*1-2mon. Abs Crunches
*1-2mon. With weights crunches & leg raises @GYM
*hve a clean diet(50%proterin 30%carbs 20%fat) @maintain level.
*carbs around ur workout.
#you have to get ur body fat% to 20% first.😭 (get lean first)
#To get defined abs u may at 12% body fat%.😲
i've been waiting for this for so long!! Hopefully next video is a bit longer. You are amazing on making those things!
I feel like Stephanie is the realest fitness model ever, like she doesn’t act all perfect and she has cheat days and shows us how much she loves food and she also works out rlly hard and gets a breathtakingly hot body. She’s always just giving off such positive vibes. Even her relationship the way she acts to Jeff and the way he acts to her is honestly so adorable and sweet. Love this Chanel, I don’t even workout at all but watching rlly sweet people calms me down, god bless 💞💞
lea hall damn bro calm down, I know how many people act fake behind a camera I’m not stupid. But I can tell she doesn’t she’s genuinely a positive and motivated person, plus it’s my opinion I never asked for urs or ur hate
lea hall and u don’t know her personally either so who tf are u to judge???
Real boxing Fan1 ya but bro, who said she didn’t diet and work hard?
@lea hall relax.
@lea hall RIGGGHT??!!! She's a BITCH in REAL LIFE. I HATE THIS DUMB GIRL. SHE PROMOTES EATING DISORDERS.
Watching this in 2020 and gosh, you’re so much healthier now! ♥️
Wow this is such a good idea. Training everyday isn’t technically the best way to get abs.. but if it means you commit then it’s great!
Wow that’s some dedication. This definitely changes my mind on the whole “abs a made in the kitchen” 🙏🔥.
@@AstheaTV Yes! If you want to have a small waist you HAVE TO eat healthy girlll, that's true. I'm the best example of it
She was a lot leaner at the end compared to the beginning.
I think the better saying is : “abs are made in the gym, revealed in the kitchen”
@@AstheaTV Except to have that low of a body fat percentage, where you would see ab definition with minimal training, you're probably not "in the kitchen" (in the sense that you would likely have to have a highly restrictive, potentially disordered diet). The same is true for any muscle group, yet we never talk about them like that. You're going to have more arm/leg/back/whatever definition the lower your body fat is, yet people still train arms/legs/back/whatever in order to increase that definition at a healthy body fat percentage.
@@MystiqueHarmony This. Tired of people not using proper verbiage on this topic. Everyone has Abs. Everyone! if you wanna see your abdominal muscles, you need to get lean which means you need to eat clean and burn them excess calories. You don't even have to do crunches of any sort to build ab muscles as there are many other exercises like squats that indirectly train them. Other than when i was in high school and the military, i never trained my ab muscles - but when i decide to get lean, because of all the indirect training, I'm blessed with great abs. Always get questions as to how do you get abs, and to make them look like that etc etc. For me it was swimming, squats, and deadlifts. All that core training got me the abs aesthetics i have today. But it takes hours of cardio and a micro managed diet to see all this hard work.
You're not only inspiring us with your body & consistency. It's also a work out habit.
**lays down on the floor and does 3 x 20 crunches**
merlzomazing me too! 😬😂
Jeff is a lucky guy...
LOL
Love her energy and the way she laughs a little when she speaks. Very inspiring.
YOU inspire me soo much 😍
AMen!
I clicked so fast, love you Stephanie!! You’re such an inspiration! ❤️
YOURE SAD
I really appreciate the bar graph you inserted in the middle of the video which breaks down the 12 different ab exercises and which ones are most effective for the upper, lower and obliques. Also thanks for referencing your source, now I can check it out myself! Also, like others are saying, this video is extremely well done, blending the science, your knowledge and personal experience in easily digestible language. Thanks!
I’m happy that you are happy with these results but I want you to know that you were absolutely perfect before lots of love💛💛💛💛
Insane results steph!! Seriously mind blowing
I love how much work you put into making this video!
What a coincidence! Im on month 3 of every day abs. Im seeing great results. It works!
disclaimer: one has to already have a fit body to start.
Gail Smith 😭😭 damn...
Gail Smith but Stephanie does mention that you have to have a lean body so she's right when she says that abs are made in the kitchen. Eat a whole foods plant based diet, with no oils cut out processed foods, lose the fat then the abs will show through. Work then then they will show themselves more. Too many people think of eating healthy to lose fat/weight but change your mindset to eat healthy to be healthy and the weight will fall off. Look up Jeff Novic's you tube video in calorie density.
@@donwetherell8738 yea but not everyone is lookin 2 lose weight! Im NOT overweight AT ALL, i jus want a flat stomach..not even a six pack, i care nothin bout tht..jus FLAT!
@@mrkanobe I've never heard anything so dumb. Carbs don't make you fat, fat doesn't make you fat, a high calorie surplus over a long period of time makes you fat. However there are literally hundreds of studies that show that low carb diets increase the risk of diseases and even mortality. If you like that way of eating keep doing it, but stop recommending it to others
@@mrkanobe Drivel.
You are so pretty 🥰
This video was really helpful I hope I can see close results on a mommy tummy 🙏🏼
I will do thissss🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 btw u look so pretty today&everyday💙
It’s Mar I’m trying today too 😭 so inspiring
That is the most logical and well thought abs routine/training EVER. LITERALLY
Awesome Stephanie!! Love progress videos like this!!
Thank you so much for being inspiring and showing compassion for yourself and for others' journey.
You are SUCH AN INSPIRATION!! I am a microbiology and chem undergrad who really needed the assurance this was the right way to go. And you make it look so easy! But I am 100% COMMITTED now. You are so awesome!
And I never comment on anything haha
Thank you Stephanie!
Abs aren't built in the kitchen. They are REVEALED in the kitchen. Abs are just like any other muscle group that you train and grow
The fact that you lay it out at the outset...six months.. is fantastic.. people expect "infomercial" results and that's just not realistic. Everything explained and demonstrated in a complete manner. .. only way it possibly could have been better would have been a subject with slack/weaker abs doing the workout and progressing into abs .. You were in great shape to begin with.
Totally agree with the diet, and shedding weight points as well... abs won't show beneath even a thin layer of fluff
A Fascia Blaster Mini 2 or Paddle would be great for ab definition, it works amazing. I did it on my man who is heavily into bodybuilding and weight training, and after a single blast the results were amazing. It works for men, or women. Especially men, simply because they have the natural muscle mass that testosterone provides.
Do the abs show only when u flex or all the time?
With good genetics and if you're super lean they will show all the time but they won't look like they "pop-out" just slightly raised square ridges if that makes sense. If you're picturing abs from movies then they are flexed.
what kind of question if that? no, you do not need to flex, to show you abs, if you have a low body fat, just walking you abs will pop up
Megan Michelle rodeo argentinos
all the time
@@canario_02 it was a good question. Not everyone knows this
INSPIRED! Thanks, girl! I used to do 100 crunches a day as a teen. I stopped, and yes my definition went away. Back to it!
Ew, you're gross
Wow that's rude. You go girl!! How do u do so many crunches without ur neck killing??
Yee Yee University why is that gross
Such an inspiration! I am nowhere as fit as you are but with this guide and commitment, I shall get there! Thank you so much for sharing this to the world, Stephanie!
Yay! I’ve never been so early! I feel so connected to your content because I’m also half thai and do heavy weights, also I used to have abs but I’m trying to gain muscle and I’m on a bulk :)
Wow! Great job! Dedication and discipline are key. Congratulations on your accomplishments.
Finally. A video on building abs that actually is beneficial and doesn’t require so much lol. Thanks for this! I already do the ab machine but i don’t train abs everyday and my belly is honestly the last part of my body that’s been stubborn in my journey. I’ll incorporate leg raises EVERYDAY alongside the ab machine.
Literally sitting in front of the computer and waiting for your video, yayyyy
Were in you a calorie deficit as well? What did your diet look like?
she does MAJOR cheat days once a month....around 8-10K cals...and does not starve herself. check out her older vids. she's known for how much food she can slam down. Her metabolism is peak.
@@yellowbmblbee its proven that there is no such thing as a fast/slow metabolism. it all comes down to calories in & out. making up for the cheat days requires a lot of movement and/or calorie restriction.
@@yellowbmblbee She is obviously much leaner at the end of this. She was obviously doing a cut but wanted to appeal to her audience and make them think they can get the same results by doing crunches everyday and eating fast food at the same time.
I'm glad that you put that it worked for you. Being so tall I can only do exercises that don't require to bend my spine too much as I periodically have lower back issues. I'll continue to work on everything else until I figure it out. This belly has to go.
It's hard enough for most men, for a lady to achieve this is incredible, legendary
Actually men store more fat in their belly area. Whereas women store more fat in their legs and ass. It's more difficult for women to gain alot of size(muscles) because they lack testosterone.
But women can still easily lean out and show their abs if they just diet and exercise.
@@Mr.Reality women need a higher bf% though
your amazing personality truly shines in this video, beauty inside and out
Realized that I could either lay on my bed and finish watching the video, OR get in 3 sets of 20 leg raises before the video was over. Now have a daily reminder set in my phone. Lets do this! Thanks for being so inspirational!
first do cardio atleast 40mins, Then do the abs work out. 2:22 40 times and 4:17 80-90 times. 3-4 times a week. You will see results atleast in 6 months.
@Hit the Woah if i can do it, you can do it! Never give up 👌🏼
Dimitra Manouseli You can do HIIT instead which has proven to be better than long cardio sessions, these are short but intense :)
Dimitra Manouseli Oh great :) haha , It’s so much better than long cardio sessions , i like to do Malova Elena Skipping routines , and Blogilates Pop hiit routines :) check those out
Love this and watched it a few times now. I've been incorporating this idea to my workout routine, along with the stomach vacuuming.
EDIT: it’s been three months since I posted this, and I actually now have visible abs! Not quite as visible as Stephanie’s is in the video, but better than I ever have had! Of course I’m doing other workouts and am eating a high protein gluten free diet while watching calories too. This and stomach vacuuming really works!
Curious how you’re doing now?
Good for you girl, I am obsessed with my abdominal, it's the weakest part of my body, but I am 94 percent to were I want to be, I am doing almost everything right, and that's the key, and I am told that in time it will come, and boy I can't wait,💪
Youre so smart,beautiful,healthy,seem fun,basically everything.
YOU ARE MOTIVATION❤️
I’ve been having trouble being committed to doing abs everyday but after seeing your results, I am most definitely going to do abs every single day! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Im triying this now
Bout to start working out my abs for 1 month straight everyday.
I LOVE tou videos Steph. I LOVE how u explain in details how to do a certain workout and how you include results of how it works scientifically also please keep it up for every part of the body!👍🏻
Doing a single exercise seems like a more practical and easier way for beginners (who has a really inactive lifestyle aka me) to actually get my ass off of my couch and workout.
What were u eating to keep your stomach toned ?
water and aliitle bit of air
Food
I’m want to abs training , but I’m mother of two , I run 50 miles a week , and I will benefit from a strong core I will use your training on top of my routine to see what I can do
I don’t know if you did this in other videos but I think it woulda been nice to see progress photos. Especially since you changed up your regimen every couple months.
In other news.... dayum girl.
hipnhappenin she did include them...
Alli Burgess can you timestamp please? It seems like she just shows the end product but in different parts of the video
Appreciate your honesty and to be honest even without the full abs you are gorgeous. Your a captain marvels Brie Larson x1000 because of your personality and energy.
I really enjoyed that you showed the real you in different clips, makes your video and advice authentic. Great work.
Getting abs is a great achievement in life as its not just about the look, but also the will power and discipline achieved. Like you said going everyday no matter what.
Abs are NOT made in the kitchen, they are made in the gym working on them consistently, BUT in order to see them you need to eat correctly to a certain body fat to see them
It’s not bullshit. I know many people don’t have to work their abs directly but that doesn’t apply to everyone. Some don’t have good separation and need to really work abs to get good definition. It’s no different from other muscles. Some people have great bicep peaks without targeting biceps and others need to target biceps.
Real boxing Fan1 Your saying what I’m saying in a different way, just because you don’t directly work on your abs doesn’t mean your not working them out, more and likely I would say MOST not all people do compound movements which a lot of them work your core as well, yes genetics play a part and no one said anything about changing the shape of muscle your arguing points that no one has even said. All I said and to be clear, in order to have great abs, you need to work on them, do genetics play a part? Ofcourse but they are NOT made in the kitchen, it’s when they are visible. If you compare 2 people who are the same weight and need to lose the same amount of weight to have their abs visible, one works directly on their abs and the other one doesn’t, CHANCES are the one who works on them directly will have a better 6pack. No one is arguing we don’t have muscle because everyone does. I really don’t know what your point is or what I said was inaccurate so if you could point out what specific point I made wrong so I could correct myself
Real boxing Fan1 okay then I wasn’t clear I assume, you literally don’t have to lift a weight in your life and still have muscle, not just abs but with any muscle group, my point was in order to have GREAT abs, or biceps, or calves or any small muscle in your body, you should work on them to optimize them and not neglect them because yes you might have them there but 9/10 if a person works on them directly and you don’t they will more and likely have better looking abs. Even if I was 20-30% body fat I would work on my abs just like any other muscle group because once you lean down you will see the best result compared to if you never have worked on them directly that’s all I’m saying
It depends. Some people are lucky enough to have a fast enough metabolism that they just have to train their abs in the gym/ at home to see them as they already have a low enough bf (because any calories they eat are burnt pretty quick). Others have to manage their diet more than work out to see their abs. It all depends on genetics, lifestyle and what works best for you. There are plenty of examples of people that have abs solely from working out and visa versa.
@Real boxing Fan1 fair enough but there's a difference between being able to see your abs and having defined abominal muscles. Everyone has abs under their fat.
I really feel like I can benefit from this video, I think the way you trained yourself was smart and could work for me.
Thank you for posting this AND HOW you did it. I needed this guide. I avoid abs days like it’ll kill me BUT the way you tackled it is actually realistic for me. 4 sets of 20 reps each day I have time for that!!! As a busy mom you just showed me this goal AB-solutely reachable! You just made my day better! Yes...yes I am very corny BUT Thank you for this most valuable video girl!!!!
This kind of lit a fire in me. I need better abs for my next competition lol
Do "I Trained Glutes EVERY DAY For 6 Months"
Perv
Rene McLaren lmaoooo I wouldn’t mind seeing sum glutes tbh
You :D I like you
lol that's all girls train... glutes and legs
@@RiKo18 I'd love to see what kind of progress glutes make after 6 months training everyday. A lot of people say you need rest days etc. to grow. Also what kibd of musculature woild develop as a result. I bet millions of people are curious to see that result
I use my AbCircle Pro machine.....went into caloric deficient and showed abs in 2 wks...always..sometimes 1 wk..I have had that machine since 2009.....never fails.....gets me back right quickly when I fall off from exercising and healthy diet..I also do wood choppers and use Captain's Chair for lower abs....💯💪.....your hard work paid off that's awesome 🌟 🙂......
When im on my period I can’t do anything
Hi. Amazing results Stephanie ❤️❤️❤️
I love the honing in on time, reps and target area. Like this is very attainable. That chart was so bomb lol. Definitely might screenshot it!
I love core workouts, so this will be nice to consider in how to incorporate some daily movements that CAN give me progress with consistency!
Hey peeps I thought hey this does not take much time to do so I will try it right now I just finish day two and thought I would comment updates on were I am with it🙃
Day 1: It as easy for the first two reps then that it was harder for the third fourth rep . . . My core felt like IT WAS ON FIRE
Day 2: I did three reps and there third one seemed a little easier only did three because I am tired from staying up writing a extra credit paper for class that I stink at so going to fail that class. At least I will hopeful have abs by then though😭
Day 3: I did three reps they when good other then the fact that I accidentally injure me left leg it would pop ever single one I did and hurt bu that’s not because of the leg lifts
Day 4: it was just like yesterday my leg still hurts
Day 5ish: ok so I caught the flu yea not so I didn’t work out for a few day but I am now healthy and back at it today I did two reps of leg lift and one rep of crunches feeling pretty good and it spreed it out more over my core
hey goodd going
Nice and thanks for updating! Do you have day 7? And I hope you recover from the flu soon.
Do you have any tips for training your abs without making your waist wider? I naturally have a smaller waist and it gives me shape since I don’t have hips. I don’t want to have abs but look like Spongebob 😩 edit: just want to add that I do ab vacuums already I’m just inconsistent with them
I have the same concern! can any one help?
Abs like spongebob (lol) are given by huge obliques together with a narrow upperbody. My guess is that won't be you since you have a smaller waist. Also, you are pretty lucky with a small waist. If you have no hips, you can do loads of lower body stuff (Steph has a great glute and legs workout on here) and it'll give you some lower body gains. That way, if you're obliques did grow a bit, your butt etc would be bigger.
Try not to worry. There are not many women with huge obliques that have blocky bodies who are natural.
Lord Chumpington Thank you for your help! Also yes really good point since most women I’ve seen on the var/stalanzolo are very blocky in the mid section
Thank you thank you thank you for this!!!! I work full time and so busy with kiddos that this quick ab routine is exactly what i needed! I love love love that you had to work up to using the machines! My hubby would tell me to use the machines but they always hurt my back and they were very difficult for me...probably because I had just had a baby! Thanks again! Love the videos. I can't believe how much you are able to train when going to school so many hours and study..dedicated to fitness!
I paid for the program and got it but accidentally I deleted and now I don’t have it. Is there any way I could get it again
