6 pack abs

rosylan

I'm starting to wonder if I will every have a flat stomach. I have had 3 procedures to remove fibroid tumors, and I have heard that my stomach muscles may never be tight. I usually try and do 150-200 sit up, but no major results are being produced. Does anyone have any suggestions? This is my major area of concern.

Do you have any idea your % body fat?

I measured it a week ago and according to the machine my body fat % was in range for my height, weight and age. I think it was between 23-25%

i've read that guys need 6%-10% BF and women need 10%-16% to show their abs. although the_saint's 11% is looking pretty ripped lol. "abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym"

Ab exercises are doing wonders for my love handles, but not so much for my stomach. I guess I need to keep at. I was told to try and detoxic treatment and see if it's bloating from water.

generally female atheletes are 14-20%, 21-24% for fitness... essential fat for females is about 10-12% which is getting a little low in my opinion.
acceptable BF is 25-31%

remember drink more water...water is important for your 6 pack mission.

fat loss comes with weight loss...you cant target an area for fat loss such as your mid area. its an overall thing
