No crunches.

No hanging leg raises.

No sit-ups.

Still seeing abs?

Low body fat. That s it.

Here s what actually works:

  Calorie deficit

  Strength training with progressive overload

  Plenty of protein, fruits, and veggies (rarely missing a day)

  Brisk walks

  7+ hours of sleep

  Managing stress breathwork, meditation, real mental discipline.

No magic.

No hacks.

Just boring basics done consistently.

Can you commit to a monotonous, boring routine for a full year without losing your
mind?

If yes, results are inevitable.

PS: I'm not asking you to stop ab workouts.

If you enjoy training abs, keep doing it!

Just know visible abs come from low body fat, not endless crunches.

Edit:
After reading a few comments, I felt the need to add these points to help others
understand the topic better:

Six-pack abs ≠ healthy body

  Doing ab workouts is good, but they alone won t make your abs visible.
  Visible abs depend on body fat levels and your genetics.
  Some people have 10% body fat and still don t see abs.
  Everyone s body responds differently your goals should suit your body.
  Fat loss patterns are genetic. You can t control where fat goes first or last.
  Even with dedication, not everyone will develop a six-pack.
  I shared my abs photo to show what s possible for me not to set a goal for you.
  There are too many myths about fitness don t chase unrealistic expectations.
