Today’s lesson is short but critical:

If you want to see your abs, or even just have a nice flat stomach, body fat level is crucial.

You can do crunches all day long or the most killer ab routines you can find, but if you have excess fat around your mid-section you will not see “washboard” abs or have a stomach like Jamie Eason.

This does NOT mean that you shouldn’t keep crushing all that ab work though. It only means that doing abdominal training does not spot reduce fat around your stomach. What it does do is build up strong, sexy ab and oblique muscles that WILL be visible once you lose the fat.

If the guy in the picture below gained 50 pounds of fat his abs muscles wouldn’t go away, they would just be covered up.

So what we’re going to teach you here at the UpSwong Ab Lab is how to uncover YOUR abs and get what’s been hiding under there lookin’ its best.

Stay tuned for Part 2 where we’ll be dispelling a major myth and getting you on your way to UpSwong Abs!

I get asked so many great questions via Facebook, YouTube, email, and forums that I’d like to start building an archive of answers to share with everyone.
