Could there be abs underneath my belly?

[Anonymous]

So, I kinda fell of the exercise bandwagon for a while due to circumstances at the time. But I've been getting back into it, yay!

So, I've never really been thin. I've been fatter, been thinner. So there's a pudge layer I'm trying to wear off, but despite that, there's this nice central line that's re-appeared on the upper part of the mid drift even though I'm defiantly not down to muscle level yet.

Does the under laying muscle pull the pudge into a better shape before it wears off? Or am is this going to be a like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

All my siblings are athletic, and I've always been stronger than other girls.

At about 10% body fat your abs show.

Your diet has to be on point in order to maintain that low body fat percentage. Combine a low-fat, borderline sugarless diet with high intensity cardio(so you create a metabolic deficit), and you'll melt away fat incredibly fast.

It's certainly doable. I'm at a point where I can take my own advice and make that last push for abs. Diet is huge as well as the high intensity cardio. Look up M-100s on youtube and start there. As for diet, well, that's everywhere. Don't focus on diet plans, rather find your favorite health foods and build your own plan.

isn't 10% a bit low for a healthy female?

...honestly I'd rather keep my bust line...

Oh, I was thinking in terms of males. Yeah, that's low for females. Just go by what you see in the mirror.

to get rid of the extra belly fat, try and lay off the carbs as much as possible. also, make sure you do cardio at least twice a week. the size of your abdominal muscles will greatly depend on whethere or not you see the lines before all your fat is gone. ever see a guy with a slight gut but a six-pack at the same time? if your abs are big and strong they will show. the trick is to slim down the waistline and keep the big abdomincal muscles. also, try high intensity low impact cardio for best results on your cardio days...

There are abs under there. In fact, everyone has abs to some degree. The problem is getting to them. To do so, you will need to do a lot of cardio and fix your diet.

I've amended both of those things. Shooting for slow and steady instead of a set of unsustainable habits. Did that once. Didn't work.

Everyone has abs, abs just appear when there is lack of fat so when the fat goes away you will see abs
