The secret to losing fat can sometimes be in building muscle. Working on broad shoulders, having some lower back muscle, and keeping the stomach fat somewhat low can really emphasise the abs. It may be worth considering this if you are working the abs for summer. Don't just focus on the ab section; focus on the entire body, and remember symmetry. When building muscle or losing fat, you can be quick to think that dieting and the gym are where the magic happens. This is true; however, it's the day-to-day activities and the lifestyle that's where the real magic lies. Ever looked at someone with a particularly slender build and put it down to genetics?
