Do I need to train abs if I just want a flat stomach, not defined abs?
I'm 160cm / 54kg. I'm skinny but I carry most of my fat in my lower belly and I want to make it flatter. I'm currently in a caloric deficit.
My question is: I train upper body and lower body on different days, but I never do specific ab exercises. I don't enjoy doing them at the gym and it makes me uncomfortable.
Since I don't want defined abs and I know they won't show unless I lower my body fat percentage, is it okay to skip direct ab work? My point is, is it necessary to train abs if I only want a flat stomach?
