Six-pack abs possible?

I'm 38, 5'7", and presently weigh 240 as of this morning. I was 290 earlier this year and have been steady losing with a combination of cardio and weights...more cardio than weights at this point. Question: is a six-pack of abs possible for me? I still have a long way to go, but I'm doing well and have made some major lifestyle changes (diabetes is a great motivator!) I always set big goals and accomplish them...just wondering if getting down to 10-12% bodyfat to see the abs is too big a goal. Your biggest challenge would probably be in keeping the six-pack. For a real quest, try for an eight-pack! BTW, I am large-framed for my size...a tape measure around my chest on the outside of my arms is about 25". I haven't had my body-fat checked in a while...I'm sure it's still a big number at this point. Thanks. Haven't you ever seen that TV show "The Biggest Loser"? These things can definitely be done, but the real problem is staying in tip-top condition. BTW, just as an FYI, I'm also 240 pounds right now and have a four- pack at somewhere around 20% bodyfat, give or take a little. There are people who weigh 50 pounds less than me but look a good roly-poly hundred pounds more! I suspect bodyfat percentage, while a much better figure than a simple bathroom scale number, could also be deceptive like that somehow.... |
