The absolute best sports are:
- Gymnastics and Figure Skating Gymnastics is a sport where you use every muscle in your body, and if you're a guy, especially from the waist up. People view it as a gay stereo-type but if you ever watch Olympic figure skating, they are probably the most ripped sports players you've seen Figure skating -- you basically use three muscles, the least is your calves, but your quads and abs are always being used, this gives it a consistent work out, within two weeks of figure skating I got a six pack

Duhh
- gosh guys, come on, everyone knows that ping pong is the number one sport to get abs. I have been doing it for 10 years and I have amazing abs. I mean all the strength and training that goes into my preparation for my ping pong tournaments is intense stuff....

Sport?
- I don't really think that there is a special sport that builds faster abs. Exercises + Diet (88%) is enough to get the 4,6,8 packs. Some have great genetics and can easily get abs and some do not.

Roller Derby!
- Roller Derby works the core, legs even arms! Core to balance, whip, hit and take hits(the biggest part of derby). Constantly pumping those legs to keep up with the pack. And arm whips are a wicked workout on the arms!

Gymnastics and Martial Arts
- Both of these build a strong, toned core because both use the entire body and require intense balance.

Mixed Martial arts
- i have been doing mixed martial arts for 7 years and we all train very hard 3-4 hours daily and you dont just work core muscles but all. after about a year you are compleatly tones. your body gets so muscular. my body is so toned all the girls warship me. even a few started MMA then realized how hard it is for a girl to start and build muscle like i did.

what has the best abs
- I think horse riders get the best workout, as not do they only use their core strength, they use every muscle in their body if done correctly.

Irish Step-Obviously!
- Us Irish dancers Have to have perfect posture while doing turns and difficult leaps.

Gymnastics
- I'm definitely going to have to go with gymnastics, despite the potentially perceivable bias. I did competitive gymnastics for over 6 years and, though I was shy about it, had an 8-pack that was the envy of all the girls I went to school with. So much of the sport is dependent on balance and core strength, it is easily the most defined part of a gymnast's body.

Of course soccer
- A soccer player has the best killer abs - the main reason is the game ..they have to run at least 10km per game continuously along with trunk rotation, power hitting the ball, jumping, tricky movements that involve the trunk and hip.

Slack
- Hello everybody! My opinion is that gymnasts have best abs!

best abs
- collegiate style wrestling, and the workouts involved use every muscle in the body - it builds a strong core and abs
- —Guest robin
Swimming
- Swimming builds the best abs because it is fast and the muscle is lean. I'm a swimmer and abs are not hard to get.

fighters
- Boxing and mma. I have never seen any championship fighters or mixed martial arts champs with bad abs. Their training and diet is far more intense than any of the other athletes previously mentioned.
