Agree!
Thanks for the comment :)

I am body builder competitor and I ONLY do cardio for the last few weeks before a show to see ab lines. This a much more complex than ‘5 reasons’ and if you are serious about getting in shape you should talk to a professional to set individual goals based on many personal factors. Consistency in exercise and diet provide the best results.

Additionally, remember to love your body in all phases. Positive body image goes much further than having visible abs.

Caroline,
Fitness is always evolving as the world itself so if 3 years ago you’d ask me this same question I’d answer – absolutely, split training is the way to go.
However, nowadays we know that HIIT and Tabata combined with weight lifting is the best way to both burn fat and tone some muscles.
That’s why I’ll say that working on your body as a whole piece is the way to achieve the best of results.
Also, if you already have flat stomach, I think you could achieve results in a few months.
However, we are all different and it varies from one person to another… For some people it happens so slow, while others need half of that time to make those abs.
What you could do to speed up the process is clean your diet and workout daily.
Also, have you checked my latest article on abs?
I think you’ll find it really helpful, here it is: https://fitgirlsdiary.com/12-reasons-why-your-abs-arent-showing-yet-how-to-get-abs-showing-and-lose-belly-fat-fast/
Hope I helped :)

Yes, you’re right, sometimes the reason is the body type, but since I’m a fitness coach for many years now, I can confirm that these 5 facts can also be the reason why your ab workouts are not working.
Kind regards to you :)
