I’m 15 years old and I’ve been working out since the middle of last year (2008) I am about 117 pounds. What I don’t understand is that when I stand up, my stomach is flat and toned-looking with a little definition to it, but when I sit down, I look like I’ve got quite a belly. I’m not fat at all or over weight/under weight, and in the morning obviously my stomach is empty from fasting so it is flat when I sit down.
Other than the mornings, every time I sit, I look chubby. My question is, do I have to work all that off before getting a six pack? I do cardio, the treadmill, ab lounge, crunches, curls, planks, dumbells, resistance bands, I dance, all that, the whole shebang.
I’m sweating while on the treadmill, doing floor crunches and ab lounge crunches, it hurts like hell but since I am toning up slowly, Its starting to feel good (almost like a good stretch) every time I do crunches and short repititions as I flex my ab muscles. I’m seeing a slight line going down my upper abs, is this the start of a six pack? Or am I mistaken?
Thanks!
Also, Here is a picture of my abs from yesterday. Excuse the scars, they are from a surgery.
