The Tendinous Inscriptions — Or the tendons that separate the rectus abdominus giving us the illusion of the packs.
Surgery A decade ago, cosmetic surgery to enhance the appearance of a muscle group was a rare instance and generally frowned upon. There are three types of surgeries that are primarily used to enhance the appearance of abs. Ab Etching — This is a minimally invasive procedure in which the thick layer of fat covering the abs are laser sculpted to make them appear more defined. The results depend entirely on your body composition. If you are at a very low body fat percentage already, but your abs are not visible, then ab etching will get the job done for you.
Liposuction — Some people carry the most stubborn body fat on their bellies. No amount of dieting and exercise can trick the body into burning it for fuel. A simple liposuction might do wonders to improve the appearance of abs. In Liposuction, the fat on their bellies, or any targeted body part is extracted. Liposuction is generally preferred in young people, where the skin has enough elasticity to return to its normal form post-surgery.

Lower Abdominals — The leg raise will target the lower part of your rectus abdominis.
If you have a six pack, this will be the lower two ab muscles near the belly button or just below it. When you perform a conventional crunch or any other ab exercise, the lower abs are either left out entirely, or inadequately engaged. This is an isolation move that lets you target the lower abs. Hip Flexors — The leg raise is also one of the best exercises to target both muscles of the hip flexors.
The Sartorius and the iliopsoas are extremely critical to mobility and function. This is practically not possible. It sounds simple. Celery is one of the most well-known, low-calorie foods. Its long, green stalks contain insoluble fiber that may go undigested through your body, thus contributing no calories.
Celery also has a high water content, making it naturally low in calories. Exercising the muscles that make up your abdomen can help increase muscle mass to achieve six-pack abs. Keep your ab muscles visible by increasing the amount of tension they have while at rest. Also, people sometimes hold their breath while flexing, so flexing all day could disrupt your normal breathing patterns.
