Lower Your Body Fat % to See Your Abs

Posted by Dan on April 04th 2007 to Training, Weight Loss

One of the big questions out there is how do I get a six-pack. Simply put, you could have the most developed, best looking abs in the world but if you have too much fat covering them up you won’t know it (and neither will anyone else!). So the key to having a great six-pack is losing enough of your body fat percentage that your abs are actually visible. You’ll probably have to be at least in the single digits (under 10%) for your abs to actually be visible, but this varies a bit per person. So keep training, lost that body fat and start to look ripped!

    That’s obvious, too much fat will mask your muscles, losing these fats together with exercising to strengthen the abs…a simple fact.

    Yeah I agree thats why many people recommend cardio exercises to lose that fat and not focus too much on sit ups.

    Hey,

    Fantastic article about six pack abs. I think the most important thing is understanding that you cannot just get a six pack fast. We tend to concentrate too much on crunches and not low body fat. Have you seen the Truth About Six Pack Abs workout plan? - Truth About Six Pack Abs
    Thanks for the advise, Rob

    This is so true… I’ve never been obsessed with abs or anything, but yeah, if you lower your body fat % (percentage), you will most likely see abs you didn’t even know you had.
    Hey, this blog is packed with info. It would be even better if ya had more “health benefits of” posts, but it’s all good, regardless.
