  • Incredible! Well done, you.
  • This is how myths start.

    Running does not give you killer abs.

    Running does burn a lot of calories.

    Lose enough fat and you'll reveal your ab muscles.

    Everyone holds their fat a little different. For example - my abs will be the last muscle I see because I hold my fat directly over my abs like many men. My wife abs show at a much higher bodyfat percentage because she holds her fat in her thighs and buttocks like many women do.

    Regardless - congrats ValRock!

    Not exactly. If you're doing work outs for your abs, you could be building a six pack, but it won't show if it's buried under fat. Cardio, like running, removes the fat to reveal whatever abs you have.
  • I figured it was too good to be true ;p. But it obviously makes sense.
