The Lure of Six Pack Abs

Everyone wants six pack abdominals. Just look at Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Look at any old Bruce Lee movie. Look at stars like Matthew McConaughey, musicians like L.L. Cool J, athletes like Bo Jackson back in the day. Nothing says "athletic" like sculpted abdominals. Those sculpted abs mean a slim waist, with no love handles, giving the illusion of a larger more manly chest and shoulders. You can't flip through the channels without being inundated with infomercials containing gorgeous athletic people preaching to you how easy it is to get a six pack. For just three or four easy installments of $19.99, you can have a six pack by working out only 15 minutes twice a week. Well, I'm here to tell you that if six pack abs were as easy as they make them sound, everyone would have them. They're not.
