Did you know that you already have a six pack?

You already have a six pack… You just can’t see it!

Your abs are a group of muscles called the rectus abdominis, which are the six muscles that cover your stomach.

Apparently we are all born with a six pack and it already exists. Believe it or not, right now you have a flat stomach. It’s just that you can’t see it because it’s covered and hidden under the few or many layers of fat on your body. If you really want to see a slim stomach and expose those deep cuts, you have to burn the fat on top of it.

Now you might think that 1,000 sit-ups a day is the key to burning that fat. Well, it is NOT! There is NO such thing as blemish reduction! You can’t get rid of the fat that covers your abs. So while crunches will certainly train your abdominal muscles, they won’t do anything to the fat on top of those muscles.

The question now is… how do you burn that fat and how do you discover your six pack?

Are you ready for this? Here it goes:

Reducing your body fat percentage!

Clever! This is all. Simply losing some body fat is the super secret key.

And how do you burn body fat?

You create a caloric deficit by eating fewer calories and burning more calories. This is the only way to get rid of abdominal fat by gradually burning it from your entire body through cardio, diet, and weight training.

The human body gains and loses fat in a pattern that is predetermined by our genetics and cannot be changed. And it is commonly seen that the fat covering the abs is often the last to go and the first to come back, making it even more difficult to get/maintain abs.

So, stay persistent in creating a calorie deficit through a clean diet, resistance training, and cardio regimen and lower your body fat percentage. Once you’re skinny enough, you’ll see your abs stick out. Training your abs a bit directly will make them stronger, better developed, and add more definition to your abdominal muscles (just like any other muscle group does when you train it).

Abs require a lifestyle change and immense discipline; definitely not a quick fix.

Actually speaking, instead of saying that we want to get a six-pack, we should say that we want to discover a six-pack. Because really, that’s what has to happen!
