Hello everyone,

Being someone who has been overweight most of my life, I've never seen
my
ab muscles. I'm just curious if eating right and doing some exercise is
enough to be able to see the outline of one's abs. I mostly do cardio
workouts with my stairstepper (1hr/day) and walk (1.5 hr/day). I'm eating
better than I ever have in my life and weight is coming off fairly quick
and
steady.

Does one have to do sit-ups in order to see the ab muscles or is this
just
to make them more prominent or thicker. I don't care to get my muscles
cut
real deep, just want them to be able to be seen. Do I need to achieve a
certain body fat percentage to achieve see my abs, and if so what is the
percentage that most people get to in order to see their abs?

I do have some limitations to some exercises due to my disability after
being in an accident, but this mainly is targeted to my legs.

Thanks for any input,

Sit ups do nothing to help show off abs. Everyone has a perfect 6 pack,
it's just hidden by a nice thick layer of fat. If you want visible abs, you
need to drop bodyfat until you can see them.
