If you are setting your goals for your abs based on the appearance of models in ads, be aware that they may not look like that in real life. Many of them owe the look of their abs to airbrushing or Photoshop, or even liposuction. Genetics plays a part in how much you can develop your abs, and to have that 6-pack look, the most important thing is low body fat. Eat right and do both cardio and whole-body strength training, and you can burn off that extra layer of flab and look good in your bathing suit, even if you don`t achieve extreme definition in your midsection. Crunches and other ab exercises are important, but can`t do the job by themselves.
