1. Ab Crack

Media Source

Oh great! Here's another beauty trend to help women experience even more insecurity and pressure regarding their bodies.

Introducing the "ab crack."

2. Extreme Fitness

Media Source

Coined by Elle magazine, an ab crack is a vertical line in the abdomen that appears when a person has an extremely taut stomach.

3. Models

Media Source

Obviously, supermodels are the ones rocking this physique. And since you know, most of us aren't supermodels, it's insane that now this is supposed to be a level of fitness normalcy.

4. Unhealthy Standard

Media Source

The trend has caused quite a bit of outrage on social media. The ab crack is just another extreme fitness fad that isn't exactly a healthy beauty standard for most women.

5. Thigh Gap

Media Source

People are comparing this trend to the "thigh gap," which we've seen grow in popularity via the internet and celeb Instagrams.

6. Trick Of The Eye

Media Source

But the thigh gap isn't realistic either! 

As shown by model Iskra Lawrence, it's really easy to make it appear as if you have a thigh gap when in reality, it's just a trick of perspective. 

So basically, the models that are supposed to have these "thigh gaps" can't even attain them.

7. Nope

Media Source

Umm, no thanks. Talk about facilitating unhealthy body images for young girls! Beyoncé does not approve.

8. Frequent Social Media

Media Source

With how prevalent social media is in our everyday lives, it's no wonder people are getting angry. We're constantly fed images that make us feel horrible.

9. Celebrate Your Body

Media Source

It's important to remember we each have different body types, and we need to celebrate that fact instead of vying for someone else's "look"...or ab crack.

10. Crazy Trends

Media Source

Insane beauty trends aren't new. 

There's been the bikini bridge, and the thigh brow in recent years, thanks (again) to social media showing us what our bodies should look like.

11. Health Is Key

Media Source

Whatever crazy trend that is happening, we've got to remember that health is always the most important thing. Take care of yourself first and foremost. Oh, and that "ab crack" can see itself out.
