What can I do to get my six-pack. I have the rest; the leg definition.

Ros From Maryland :

What can I do to get my six-pack. I have the rest; the leg definition, shoulders, back and arms. I just need to loose the midsection fat. Please advise.

You first need to realize that spot reducing doesn't work. See the Article Archive article "Can you spot reduce?" If a bit more bodyfat is lost, and the rest of the body has already lost its fat, then the next logical place for this fat to come from is the abdominal area. Fewer calories and a bit more activity is usually the best way to approach this situation. As for an abdominal exercise, one of the best I've ever used, and one which will etch some grooves if done with concentration is the power crunch. For a description of it please refer to the letter from Unknown on 7-13-98 in this section asking for a program for abs. Good luck.
