How Do I Get Washboard Abs?

"How can I get a six pack (aka) washboard abs?"  I get asked this question sometimes.  Want to know the secret?  Here it is: low body fat--get your body fat level low enough and you'll have visible abs.

There's not an ab machine you can buy to get visible abs.  There are several posts on this website dealing with crummy ab machines and why they are a waste of money. 

There's not a certain abdominal exercise that will give you washboard abs.  You should train your abdominal muscles (sit-ups, crunches, etc), but the muscles won't be visible if hidden under a layer of fat.

One more thing--bodybuilders and models often manipulate their water and sodium intake before a contest, photo shoot, movie, etc.  They do this to make sure they aren't carrying too much water/fluid under the skin, which would partially obscure the muscles. 

NOTE: If you want a program to lose fat and have visible abs, I'd recommend Mike Geary's Truth About Abs Ebook. 

I've read some of Geary's articles and it's worth buying.
