Kari Pearce is known as one of CrossFit’s most fierce competitors. She’s also known for one specific body part.

“I have gotten so many compliments about my abs over the years and was often asked how someone can get abs like me,” said the 31-year-old American, who has her own workout business aptly named PowerAbs.

Pearce, who has been crowned the United States’ “Fittest Women” three times, said having great abs isn’t as much about aesthetics as it is feeling good about yourself and your body.

“What has also been amazing is how it increases people’s confidence,” she said. “So many people have told me how they never felt comfortable going to the beach or pool before, or even in their own clothes, but now they look forward to showing off their hard-earned abs.”
