Everyone can have a six pack

By Jason King

Getting a flat stomach is something most people long for. Most people get the impression they are stuck with terrible genetics, and they will never be able to get the body of their dreams. While being born with the right genetics is definitely a plus, you don't have to live with your love handles if you haven't been blessed.

Generally there are a couple of major problems people have when it comes to getting a six-pack stomach. These have been placed into separate categories to make it easier to understand.

There are a group of people that fall into the first category because they have too much fat on their stomach area. It doesn't matter how much muscle you have. If you haven't stripped of the layer of fat around the stomach you'll look like you haven't worked out in years.

The main way to see your abdominal muscles is to get rid of that first layer of fat. Once you do that your toned stomach will reveal itself. And don't forget, you'll you'll soon have your shirt off when you're walking about.

The second group of six-pack strugglers are those who are too skinny. I know it may sound like an oxymoron to most people. The truth is that people who are too thin don't have any muscle development in their abdominal region.

The only way they can overcome this is by doing the right exercise. When it comes to putting muscle mass on your stomach not all exercises are created equal either. In fact, you can do hundreds of crunches a week, and still not get any decent ab development .

So don't beat yourself up because you haven't got the abdominals that make you feel like everyone is staring when you have your shirt off. The truth is with a little sweat equity you'll have the body of your dreams.
