It might not seem fair, you have put your time in and worked on those abs as much as others at your, and you’re doing lots of crunches, so why can’t you see your abs? It can be extremely frustrating, that is certain, and it seems so unfair that others have the great ripped abs while yours are still not in sight. Why is this, and what can you do about it?

Well to begin with, you have to realize that everyone is different, we consume different quantities of food and drink of differing types, and our body’s process it differently. That’s why even in the same family we have people of different shapes and sizes.

Next, you need to be sure that you are actually doing all the exercises the right way. Speed is not a factor here, and you should not be trying to win the medal for the most crunches in one minute. You need to make sure you are accurately targeting the abs – if you aren’t, you’ll never get great abs. So slow your crunches down, and make sure it is actually your abdominals doing the work. If not, correct them, and pay close attention as you do them in the future to make sure you don’t slip back into bad habits.

Next, while you are at the gym, see what your body fat ratio is. It should be in the low teens, ideally around twelve. Anything higher will explain why your abdominals are not showing. The body fat ratio tells you how much fat that your body has. The higher the number the more fat your body has, and the more fat, the harder it is for those abdominal muscles to stand out from under those layers of fat. That makes sense, right?

Ok, so if your body fat ration is not in the right range, what it is suggesting to is that you have to get rid of some of those fat layers. To do this, you need to do more than crunches and abdominal exercises. You need to do some cardio exercises too, and watch what you eat. Perhaps you need to eat less and run more. You get the idea. Once you lose a few pounds, your abdominals muscles will be able to be seen, and in time, as your body fat ration gets to the ideal level, your six pack abs will be showing good and strong, and you will no longer have to worry about where your
perfect ripped abs are, as they will be there for everyone to see.
