Ab crack is total whack, says expert

In recent weeks, the phrase "ab crack" has started appearing all over social media. On Instagram, (mostly) women have been posting pictures of their ab crack, the line going down the middle of the abdominals.
But can everyone achieve it?"No self-respecting fitness professional would even begin to give this new fad merit," says Niko Algieri, owner of Equilibrium fitness studio."Achievable? Only if your genetics at birth have decided that when you're an adult your abdominals will be structured that way. Other than that, girls, you're out of luck."You cannot exercise your core in such a way that will effectively split your muscles and, if you could, it would be highly dangerous."..
