Showing Your Abs

There is absolutely no way around it. You can do a set of sensible ab routines every day for a year and yet you will not be able to show your abs off if your middle section is covered by a layer of flat. Your abs, especially your lower abs, will be like pearls inside an oyster with the shell closed firmly.

The only way to display those carefully honed ab muscles is by lowering your overall body fat content. Don't listen to any of the myths. You won't be able to target a weight loss campaign to just one part of your body. See Spot Toning Myth.

You can only lose weight by starting some sort of calorie controlled diet How To Lose Flab.

Any weight loss program should be supplemented by a suitable exercise regime, preferaby including some Cardio Exercises. These will help to sustain your weight loss by enforcing a more healthy lifestyle.

As a general rule of thumb your body fat needs to be less than 10% before you are able to show those rippling abs, and only then if you have done the appropriate ab exercises.
