I think "how to get back your abs" is worth a try if it has a good search volume and if it rated as relatively easy in Traffic Travis.

I'm not sure what you mean by this but if you are asking if you should choose which keyword phrase is related to your product then I'd say you could use either since both phrases belong to the same niche.

Its worth noting that just because a phrase has a high search volume that it will be profitable for you. There are other factors involved such as keyword intent (are the people using this phrase wanting to buy) and what websites you're competing against for that phrase (use the SEO Analysis tab in Traffic Travis).

Of course it can definitely help coming up with variations of keyword phrases as part of your keyword research but just remember that Google treats each keyword quite separately - even what used to be stop words (and, the, that etc) are now included in determining the search results.
