Im skinny but Im having a hard time getting 6 pack abs
male/21
I hear that body fat % is the main indicator of having defined abs. I think that below 15% body fat will show 6 pack abs. Im 5'10" and 145 pounds right now and my stomach is just flat and not really all that defined.
Bodybuilders say that it doesnt matter how much you lift weights or work out your stomach and do crunches because everyone has a 6 pack underneath the layer of fat around their stomach. So having abs is all about burning fat through cardio. I just dont get how I can be so skinny and keep losing weight but not have a 6 pack.
Whats wrong with me? Is my bodyfat% still too high because I only eat like 1000 calories a day and run about 3 miles every morning (which burns around 500 calories). I dont get it.

To be able to get these "6 packs" it's is NOT ONLY cardio, you actually have to exercise the area. You have to damage the muscle so that it can rebuild itself. Whomever said "You only need cardio to get a 6 pack" is, I'm sorry to say, full of it. It's like ANY muscle, you have to break it down (via exercising) so that it can rebuild itself. You don't get abs by just cardio. You don't have a "6 pack" under your layer of fat, you have to create it. Here is a site explaining it much better than I feel I can.

You HAVE to build your own muscle. It doesn't just appear. I'm sure whoever told you that they got their six pack from just cardio was lying, and did much more than cardio.
