Abs and Long Torsos?

[SunnyD902]

I have a very long torso and find it extremely difficult to get abdominal definition...do other woman with long torsos find this as well? It just seem to me if you have a shorter torso it's easier to get definition...

I find the exact opposite to be true. I have a very long torso in proportion to the rest of me. I'm 5'7 and my 5'3 sister has higher hip bones than I do, because I have little bitty legs and a long upper body. I am naturally very lean from the waist up and even before I started regularly training I had a visible six pack at 25% BF. I actually don't need to work my stomach at all to see results.

My short stubby legs and bubble butt are another issue entirely.

I agree, I'm 5'10" and have a long torso and my abs start popping out the minute I start a diet.

To the OP - I think it's genetic where your body likes to hold fat - mine likes the inner thighs, maybe you are a belly-fat holder. To lean out my legs I have to push and push, it's the last thing to go.
