OM-My-Gosh Abs!

There's not just one formula for a flat belly. And since few people truly enjoy traditional abs exercises, the best way to sculpt a sexy midsection is to incorporate more core work into the workouts you already know and love.

Read on to discover the 11 best poses for sculpting your abs while you find inner peace.
