Everyone Has Six Pack Abs

I promised some time ago that I would be blogging on more fitness related topics, here is my first attempt.

 
Everyone has six pack abs. Yes, you read that right. Here is where I am going to go all anatomy on you and explain why. See the picture below? It is a picture of the muscles of your torso. Find the label that says "rectus abdominus" and note there are 3 different segments on the right that look about the same size. That is half of your six pack muscle. The left has 3 more segments which completes the "6 Pack". 


Now the question is, why can't you see some people's "6 Pack"? Well, the answer is very simple, there is a layer of fat that covers it. So there you have it, when you see someone at the beach this summer who has clearly defined abs you know why, they don't have fat there!
