Celebrity trainer reveals the best diet and exercise for toned abs

It was hard to watch Miuccia Prada’s collection of ultra-short, low-slung skirts come down the spring 2022 runways and not think ‘I need to hit the gym STAT.’  

While the micro mini isn’t very practical, according to the Italian designer, it’s here to stay. Closing out Paris Fashion week yesterday, Miu Miu updated the sexy silhouette for fall 2022.

It’s not a complete surprise that low-slung bottoms are back, as some of the best-loved styles of childhood (hello neon, slip dresses and bucket hats!) have re-emerged in the last 5 years. 

In the early 2000s we couldn’t get enough of pop princesses like Britney Spears and Shakira exposing their washboard abs in hip-hugging bottoms. 

But a stomach-baring trend after a global pandemic that left most of us with a Quarantine 15? That seems cruel. Kidding not kidding.

To help us get into shape by spring/summer, co-owners of The Oleon House, Carlos Leon and Menna Olvera, share a few pro tricks.

‘The first step to remember is that abs start in the kitchen,’ said Carlos.

The celebrity trainer and father to Lourdes Leon continued: ‘Stay away from sugar, sodium and processed foods.’

‘For exercises: do 3 sets of 10-12 dynamic planks with taps and 3 sets of 10-12 plank kick-ups everyday until goal is achieved.’

Health coach & integrated yoga teacher Menna Olvera adds, ‘Stay away from red wine and brown alcohol and I suggest you do downward dog to plank and hold for 30 seconds and repeat 4 times.’

To get the look right, offset a belly-baring skirt with a chunky knit sweater cropped just below the bust.

Give a low-slung bottom a masculine twist with a structured blazer featuring broad shoulders, or top it with a polished trench coat.

For a sporty spin, ground the look with a polo shirt cut above the belly button. Keep the ensemble PG by avoiding a wardrobe malfunction with a skin-tone bra.
