Former Jennifer Lopez's trainer shared the most effective exercise for abs. He noted that this exercise delivers maximum results with minimal time investment, informs the New York Post.
What J.Lo’s trainer recommends for tight abs
Jennifer Lopez is known for her toned figure just as much as for her music, movie roles, and romantic partners. Her former trainer, Jay Cardiello, shared how he helped J.Lo achieve her stunning abs.
According to him, consistency beats perfection when it comes to getting a flat stomach.
"Understand that abs are built through behavior, not just crunches," he said.
"YYou can’t out-train poor nutrition or chronic stress, so prioritize sustainable eating habits, quality sleep, stress management and core-focused functional movement," the expert said.

Abs depend heavily on nutrition
"My number one rule is: Avoid overly processed foods, added sugars, and excessive sodium, as these contribute to inflammation, bloating and fat storage, especially around the midsection," the celebrity trainer said.
Cardiello urges those who want toned abs to prioritize a diet with lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables, healthy fats, and complex carbs to stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cravings.
"I advise clients to eat smaller, balanced meals throughout the day, avoid late-night heavy eating and limit their alcohol intake, as this can disrupt digestion and metabolism," he added.
Best exercise for abs from J.Lo’s trainer
"The plank is the most effective and simplest core-tightening exercise with the best bang for your buck," he said.
"It’s deceptively simple but incredibly powerful because it engages not just your abs, but your entire core, shoulders, glutes and even your posture muscles — all without needing any equipment," the specialist added.

Cardiello notes that, in addition to being modifiable for any fitness level, the plank builds isometric strength and stability, engaging the core muscles and creating a flat, firm appearance.
