The exact numbers are debatable, and I don't really think it's unhealthy to keep your body fat very low, but basically what Lex says is accurate. Bolded words are truth.Lex said:Your abs showing are simply a function of low body fat. Everyone has abs, its just that few of us get to see them. To really see them, body fat needs to be down around 3-8% which is not incredibly healthy.

Mumzi said:Albs are just well developed muscle. My husband and I eat little sugar and few carbs,however we don't diet or eat like the atkins diet. Just foods that are healthy.
I use his weight bench, but I don't do as much as he does. He does specific exercises to target his stomach, legs, pecs and arms. Back also,exercising just helps you to feel stronger.
I does not take much time. It takes longer to aerobic exercises.
He does his weights 5 days a week, and it takes him <20 min. Really, I would not go nuts with diets. I would choose exercise first. Even a pair of barbells could be used efficiently.

baseball99 said:I think what you're trying to say and correct me if im wrong mumzi, its lifestyle. Diet is such a bad term, its connotated with losing weight, when in actuality everyone is on a "diet", its what you consume in a day. Dieting to lose weight is horribly ineffective in itself if its not coupled with exercise and healthy eating habits. With all that being said your abs will start to show around 10% body fat IF you dont happen to be a person who stores a lot of fat in their abdomen, which most guys do. You need to drop the body fat and tone the muscles with exercise, both aerobic and resistance. I hate when people say all you need to do is lose weight to get your abs to show.....thats true but they'll be small and wont look good until you work them out
