Every single person on the planet has abs, some are visible and some are hidden.
For some people they are part of their job, for some people they are a side effect of eating and training the way they do, for some people they’re completely irrelevant to their day to day life.
All that being said, the association of six pack abs and a healthy person just won’t go away, but when bodybuilders are competing on stage and have, arguably, the most well developed and defined abs of anyone, they are also often dangerously unhealthy and can not maintain anywhere near that level of leanness all year round.
Visible abs are merely the byproduct of having a low enough body fat percentage that the muscles can be seen under the skin.
Lowering your body fat percentage so that your abs are visible is mostly simply done by adjusting the food that you consume. Issuing specific dietary advice through a blog would probably do more harm than good, but general guidelines can be a good place for people to start:
-
Make physical activity part of your daily routine
-
Eat a high protein diet
-
Eat a diet that is mostly based on minimally processed foods
-
Drink plenty of water
-
Limit/Remove the number of calories that you drink
-
Lift challenging weights 2-4 times per week
-
Go to bed earlier than you want to
