TWICE member Momo has once again drawn attention for her toned physique and impressive abdominal muscles.
Momo recently shared several photos on her personal social media, posing in a leopard-print bra top and matching hot pants, which appeared to be part of her stage outfit. Her healthy figure and sharply defined abs immediately captivated fans, prompting comments such as “Her abs are insane” and “She radiates strength and health.”
Momo’s secret: twist planks and core-focused workouts
Momo previously revealed the secret behind her consistently toned abs during a past appearance on a variety show. She demonstrated a workout routine involving twist planks, advising viewers to perform “50 reps, three times a day” for best results. She also showcased her stamina by completing 33 sit-ups in a single minute.

The twist plank starts from the standard plank position, adding a side-to-side hip twist. This move not only strengthens the rectus abdominis but also engages the oblique muscles, helping to sculpt a slimmer waistline. It can also enhance spinal stability by strengthening surrounding muscles. However, proper form is essential to prevent unnecessary strain on the shoulders, wrists and lower back.
Sit-ups, leg raises and Russian twists
Sit-ups, a classic abdominal exercise, target the rectus abdominis and enhance definition through repetitive contraction and release. However, experts caution that sit-ups should be avoided by those with existing back issues. To reduce strain, it’s important to lift the upper body using abdominal strength rather than pulling the neck with the hands.
Other effective core workouts include leg raises for the lower abs, Russian twists for obliques and overall core strength, and full-body exercises like burpees and mountain climbers, which help increase abdominal definition while improving overall fitness.
