A fit woman in red workout attire stands in a gym, posing between text overlays asking "training ABS" and "training CORE," with a search bar below asking "What's the difference?" to introduce the topic.

A woman in red workout attire performs a side plank variation. Text explains that ab training aims to create motion, targets the rectus abdominis for a "six-pack" look, and strengthens the mid-section.

A woman in red workout attire performs a reverse plank using a box. Text explains core training aims to resist motion and stabilize the spine, targets the transverse abdominis, and improves stability, posture, and reduces injury risk.
