According to the media it isn’t that hard for a woman to get toned abs. However, it seems like it would take a lot of work. For some women that pouch around their middle comes from genetics and body type. It seems the older you get, the harder it is to lose that belly fat.
There are three muscle areas that make up the abdominal region. There are the upper abs, lower abs, and the obliques. To get the maximum benefit you should always start with a warm up. Then make sure you make quality and not quantity your priority. It is always better to have the right technique and do a few good repetitions than a sloppy technique and a lot of repetitions, especially in doing sit-ups.
