just a quick question:

i'm really happy with how i look, (not in a big headed way) but i am!
i like my looks, legs, arms, back, everything is fine. but the one thing i am struggling with is getting my stomach flat!
this is the only thing left on me i want to change, just want a flat stomach & toned up a little.

Right now, i go to the gym, do weights, treadmill, cross trainer, lots of cardio. to try shed the weight!
i can see i'm slowly getting there, but wanting to know; does anyone have any quick tips??

any help is much appreciated! - feel free to add to :)!
take care. x

    Most men need to reach 10% BF to see abs, some may see them at 12% if they have a lot of muscle mass.

    Best thing to do is to reduce bodyfat % and increase muscle mass. So, you may need to lose more weight and then build up some more muscle mass.

    Yeah, I hear ya, but the same stuff applies. Just lose more weight. Sometimes adding more muscle helps if you are already fairly lean but for most of us you just need to burn more fat. All the exercises in the world cannot make your abs look better through fat.
