Need help!!

Don't mean to sound depressing but I just read a book about the look you are after. I am older but very similar stats. bmi about 27 percent, 5' 10" and 185 lbs. I started using the bowflex and read the bowflex body book. He has a masters in nutritien and has trained others for years to get their sixpack in 6 weeks, even though they are very successful and often drop 20 - 30 pounds in the six weeks, the meals are very restrictive. He recomends only exercizing 3 days per week at 20 - 30 minutes each time, working each muscle group to fatigue then moving to next. The diet starts at 1500 calories per day and drops 100 each 2 weaks. The bad news - the guys are at about 6 or 7 percent body fat when they are done and showing nice six packs. So you can do it yet but will have to have a balanced diet, eat several small meals per day and push hard when exercising. Good Luck to you. I am working on this in a modified slower pace. I have some health issues that seem to flare up just as I get rolling on a tough program which causes me to slow down the pace a bit. If you are healthy and no injuries you can do it. I have knee problems and a broken L4 in my spine, I used to compete in Karate and may have injured it then, lol couldnt do that now if I wanted. Go for it, don't starve yourself, that doesnt work, I tried 800 calorie a day diets, lost a few and hit bottom. The frequent but small balanced meals seems to work well.
