Introduction and Context

So many people are obsessed with getting a six-pack belly. And some healthy people seriously destroyed their health to get six-pack abs in a short time. They torture their body, and of course, the body resists by reacting adversely.

From my experience, having a defined belly is a by-product of a healthy lifestyle. Six-pack abs are good to have but not the holy grail for happiness and joy. They only indicate fitness progress for being on the right track.

Many people desire to have six-pack abs and strive for it at every cost. There is nothing wrong with this ambition. However, doing it wrong may have detrimental effects on health. “Six-pack abs are tempting but not necessarily healthy”. Unlike fat in other parts of the body, belly fat is stubborn. This resistance is part of our evolution and survival mechanism.

While attaining six-pack abs is difficult or almost impossible for many people, paradoxically, some people achieve it effortlessly.
