A trainer quoted by Infobae says the visible six pack is not produced by abdominal exercises themselves. In a report published Wednesday, the outlet attributes the view to a coach who argues that the real formula behind defined abs lies elsewhere. According to Infobae, the deciding factor is not how many crunch-style movements a person performs.

The report's headline states the point directly: it is not the abs, meaning the exercises, that create the look. Infobae frames the trainer's position as a correction to a common assumption in fitness — that targeting the midsection with enough repetitions will eventually make it show. The outlet presents the alternative explanation as the actual formula, though the summary available does not detail the specific method the trainer recommends.

That framing places the story within a long-running debate in fitness coverage over whether spot reduction is possible. Infobae's account, as summarized, sides with the trainer's view that abdominal training alone does not deliver the result people expect from it. The publication does not, in the material available, provide the trainer's name, the full protocol, or any figures to support the claim.

Readers should treat the headline as a claim from one trainer as reported by Infobae, not as a settled finding. Watch for the full Infobae article to see whether the trainer names specific training or nutrition steps behind the formula.
