What is does coughing give you abs?

Coughing alone does not give you abs. However, persistent coughing can strengthen the abdominal muscles over time. When you cough, your abdominal muscles contract to help expel air from the lungs, which can lead to a tightening or toning effect on the muscles. However, this effect is minimal and should not be relied upon as a means of getting abs. Consistent exercise and a nutritious diet are the most effective ways to develop abdominal muscles.
