**Abs training** means strengthening your core and developing your abdominal muscles. A strong core is more than visible abs: it supports your back, improves your posture and transfers force between your upper and lower body in almost every movement. That is why core work benefits your whole body.
Your abs develop when you train them in varied ways across different directions: flexion, rotation and movements that hold the core stable. Training the muscles alone won't make them visible, though — that also requires a lower body-fat percentage. Train your core a few times per week, keep movements controlled and add challenge gradually. Quality beats quantity in every single rep.
