Something I have thought about on and off but was triggered by a conversation with a male friend was the subject of six pack abs, particularly on women. He thinks it's "ideal" and "cute" for a woman to have a six pack whereas I find it unfeminine for my body.
Most women with 6 pack- not a feminine shape for me.
Opinions aside, is it even worth it? I read some articles and the truth behind women having six pack abs reveals a LOT of work and self torture to get them.
1. According to an article I read, we ladies need to get to a VERY low body fat for these abs to show, perhaps even low enough to stop our menstruation. I'll pass.
2. A very strict diet is usually a big part of this "master plan" to get six pack abs.
3. It's also a lot of time in the gym.
Also, some people genetically have a bigger advantage of getting these abs whereas most of us don't. Also, these rules do not apply to everyone, of course, but generally a really strict regimen is in order to have six pack abs.
However, I am not against people who WANT this kind of body. It's your body, you have every right to try to make it how you like it. Just do it in a healthy way and don't hurt yourself. :)
