How can six-pack abs help me to tone my body?

Derak Glover - NASM Elite Trainer answered:Because most of the fat on our body gathers around the middle of the body, focusing on achieving a six-pack can help create a lean and toned body. Why? The key to achieving a six-pack aside from having a muscle development program that focuses on the abdominal region is consuming foods that naturally slow your insulin pump. Naturally slowing your insulin pump with foods triggers the body to use stored fat as a source of alternative energy, therefore reducing the fat surrounding muscle throughout your body. Overtime with a consistent muscle development program you will begin to see your toned body unfold. I have accomplished this for myself after losing 78 pounds. Consult with your physician and certified health coach to develop a strategy to make this a reality for you.

Jonathan Penney of National Academy of Sports Medicine answered:You are in luck! You already have a six-pack! Everyone has a six-pack but some individuals just have a little more insulation covering that six-pack compared to others. Having a strong core is going to be very beneficial to assist in developing your body because your core connects your upper and lower body. If the connection for your upper to lower body is not strong then your results may not be as present. Keep that core strong and keep working!
