When Kelly Ripa recently confessed that her insane abs are the result of genetics and not exercise, we all weeped just a little bit inside. It's not that she isn't athletic -- she is -- or that she eats junk food all day -- she actually follows a low-carb diet. It's that when she goes hard at the gym, she doesn't do 500 sit-ups or planks. Not that you can tell looking at her rock-hard stomach. Ripa, 44, is one of 8 female celebrities who continue to inspire and amaze us (okay, and sometimes make us cry) with their gorgeous, flat, fit abs.
