If you want 6 pack abs you gotta get your body fat way down for the muscles to show.

Fatties need not apply.

All depends on age bracket.
In 20’s & 30’s it’s good to build muscles. After age 50 the most critical organ is heart and many miles long arteries & veins. Those must be kept clog free of fat deposits. Most beneficial is brisk walking or jogging without hurting knee joints.

Fitness smitness. Six-pack abs always make my knees weak.

If you really want to get fit spend the Summer tossing hay bales around all day then swimming in the creek for an hour before dinner.

But why are we so obsessed with abs ripped enough to scrub clothes on in the first place? “My personal opinion would be that ‘six-pack abs’ is visually appealing, and it’s often seen as a sign of a strong and fit individual with a well-maintained physique,” commented Dr Nicholas Leong

Circular reasoning! Essentially: "We're obsessed with abs because they make us look appealing - i.e., people like the way they look."

Useless!

I’ve found that abs are attractive to the opposite sex... but nothing like arms. Build your arms and they come knocking!

In also about to end the debate on how to get a strong core and lean abs.... a scythe. Buy and use a scythe in a field.
