To start off, it’s no secret that the Victoria’s Secret models have incredible abs, and they definitely work hard for them!
Next, achieving a toned, flat stomach like theirs really comes down to balance. It’s all about combining clean eating, consistent cardio, full-body training, and, of course, a dedicated Victoria’s Secret ab workout routine to bring it all together.
Finally, since nutrition plays such a major role in your results, I’ve also broken down the Victoria’s Secret ab workout diet plan in my blog post. After all, no matter how much you train, you simply can’t get those sculpted abs if your diet isn’t on point!
Here are some of the workouts they use to get a flat stomach and toned abs (watch the video below!)

Quick Ab Workout You Can Totally Crush!
Side Plank Rotations (Victoria’s Secret Ab Workout move)
First up, side plank rotations are such a killer move for your waist and abs! Start in a side plank, twist and thread your arm under, it tones your obliques and sculpts your core.

Slow Eccentric Push Ups (Victoria’s Secret Ab Workout inspired)
Next, slow eccentric push-ups are push-ups where you lower your body very slowly to the ground, focusing on the downward (eccentric) phase to build strength and muscle tone.

Tabletop Knee Taps
Moving on, tabletop knee taps to strengthen your core, lower one foot at a time while keeping your abs tight and controlled.

Lying Leg Raises
Now it’s time for lying leg raises, one of my favorite ab moves! Just lie on your back and lift your legs toward the ceiling while keeping your core tight.

Other Ab Exercises You Can Follow
Next up, let’s do Russian Twists with a light weight! This move is amazing for sculpting your obliques and tightening your waistline. Just grab a small dumbbell (or anything you have at home!) and twist from side to side while keeping your core tight.

Then, lie on your back with your legs lifted at a 90-degree angle. From there, drop one leg at a time while keeping your core tight and lower back pressed into the floor. This move is perfect for targeting your lower abs and building that sleek, toned tummy.

Next, it’s time for 90-Degree Crunches! Lie on your back, legs at 90°, crunch up, and squeeze your abs, perfect for toning and defining your upper core.

After that, grab your Swiss ball, it’s time for Crunches on the Swiss Ball! Sit on the ball, walk forward, and crunch slowly — the added range tones and strengthens your core beautifully.

Now let’s switch things up with Horizontal Woodchops! Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a light weight or medicine ball. Twist your torso as you bring the weight across your body, from one side to the other, engaging your obliques with every rep. This move is amazing for sculpting your waist and adding definition to your abs.

RUSSIAN TWISTS FOR THOSE VS ABS
SLIDERS
1. Now, move into a high plank on your hands with one foot on a slider. Bring your foot up, move it around in a circle, and then switch to the other leg. This challenges your core stability and balance while keeping your abs fully engaged.

2. Next, try slider mountain climbers to fire up your core and boost your heart rate.

3. Afterward, move into a high plank on your hands with both feet on sliders. Bring your feet in together toward your chest, then slide them back out to the starting position. This move fires up your entire core and keeps your abs under constant tension.

Hi! These days I am in the process of weight loss and want to maintain my muscle mass but also achieve a long and narrow look. I practice yoga, pilates, and weight training. Is lifting 40-pound weight in Sumo Deadlift and HipTrust considered lightweight?
For example, in the Sumo squat, I will only lift 20 pounds to keep from getting too big.
What is the range of weights in booty exercises (like HipTrust) that are considered lightweight?
My body type is a mesomorph by the way, but with hard work, I stay kind of skinny.
Hi lovely <3
Thanks for reaching out! :)
What is considered lightweight lifting mostly depends on your body. I would say anything above 20 pounds is not considered lightweight but for some even 10 pounds is considered heavy.
Since you're a mesomorph, you tend to gain muscle easily which might also mean bulk up easily.
In this case, it is up to you and depends on your goal- if you feel like 20 or 40 pounds is not bulking you up and you said you wanted to maintain your current muscle mass, you can go ahead and continue with it.
However, if you at any point realize your muscles are growing bigger than you'd like them to be, stop! :)
Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!
Love,
Sara
