Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to get a good looking set of abs? My swim instructor says she got hers from doing butterfly (butterfly is hard for me to do). Is there any other way besides the butterfly? What about the breaststroke? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

abs are all diet. if you've got fat around you gut--well, you're gong to have to diet to get the fat gone.
if you don't need to diet, and you're low body fat in the first place, then there are several things to develop abs.
The best abs I see in the gym come from hanging in stirups (by the arms), and pulling the bent legs up to chest, or pulling straight legs up and out to parallel the floor. Also, the bent legs pulled up to touch opposite knee to opposite shoulder works the obliques (they may not literally touch).
The roman chair is a good alternative if there are no stirups to hang from.
Also folks work with a weighted ball, in which someone will throw them the ball while on an inverted bench, and toss it back. People's faces look as if this is torture.
Sitting at a half cruch while holding a 5 pound weight plate and "driving" as if your turning the stearing wheel back and forth back and forth is also a killer.
Also, 200 crunches a day would do it. Abs are all diet though, for sure. I've got great ones--under all this fat!
