Hot and Hard: Abs: 6x6

De La Soul taught us that 3 is The Magic Number, and far be it from me to contradict that, but for an old abs fan like me, 3 just won't cut it (get it?). I need 6. At least!

And thankfully, there are more than a few wonderful women out there who agree, and who absolutely will not stop until they have achieved that perfect number.

Today, FMS brings you just 6 of those many wonderful women.


ANDREA CALHOUN

And we start today's look at some of the most perfect abs you'll ever see with the perfect abs of Texan Figure pro Andrea Calhoun. Hard to believe that a little over seven years ago her weight problems had become so bad they had brought on a depression. All I ate was fried food, McDonalds, and my favorite Shipley donuts, she says. I was obese. Her journey to perfect abs began when she walked into a gym and got a personal trainer, and took her to Las Vegas and her first Olympia this year.



Andrea has her own website, and you can follow her on Facebook


KRISTYN KELLI



Meet Kristyn Kelli, two times MABBA Figure champion. That's right, MABBA. It's not a typo, it's the Manitoba Amateur Bodybuilding Association. She's from Winnipeg, you see, and Winnipeg, it turns out, is in Manitoba (I guess Canadian readers and readers with a better grasp of Canadian geography than I already knew that but I'm assuming some of you didn't). She will be defending her provincial title on May 23rd 2015 if you're in Manitoba and want to see Kristyn and her perfect abs in action.

JILL DUNN

As far as I know, this is a REAL picture. This kind of abdominal perfection is, it seems, actually attainable. Such low body fat and this kind of definition is really achievable. Such bounteous ridges of perfect muscle are possible. But don't ask me how.
Ask the owner of this jaw-dropping, groin-activating midsection. Ask Jill Dunn.

MARCIA FEIJO



If you were waiting for a Brazilian, your wait is over. Say Bom dia to Marcia Feijo and her perfect abs (not to mention the pretty much perfect rest of her). Like most of the women today, Marcia is a Figure competitor, which is making me wonder whether Figure competitors packing this much ripped muscle is a relatively new phenomenon or whether I just haven't paid enough attention to the division before now. And Marcia is still an amateur, would you believe? I'll say it again: that body you are looking at is the body of an AMATEUR FIGURE competitor. Marcia is a P.E. (Gym) teacher by day. I bet very very few boys (or girls for that matter) skip Ms Feijo's classes.



The teacher is on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube


GRACIELLA CARVALHO

And we stay in Brazil (why leave?) with Graciella Siqueira de Carvalho (to give her her full name), a businesswoman and fitness model who, in 2011, was runner-up in the inaugural Miss Bumbum Brazil (called by some The Greatest Pageant of All Time).



Shhhh! she seems to be saying. Shut your mouth and start worshipping me!

VALERIE GARCIA



And last, but certainly not least, heartfelt congratulations to FMS fave Valerie Garcia Giovanoli, who was awarded her pro card after finishing 2nd in her Physique class at last month's NPC Nationals. [My abs have] more nooks and crannies than an English muffin, she captioned the above photo on her Instagram one day before the contest.



Once she'd had the pro tan and the oil smeared all over them like, well, like butter on a hot crumpet (as we call those 'English muffins'), they looked even better. And now we've had the 'Before' and the 'During', let's finish with the 'After' - Valerie showing off (and still unable to take her eyes off) that sexy (and still utterly shredded) midriff of hers during a post-contest photo shoot for her sponsor, the one and only Hardfitness.




Enjoy!
