Six Pack

Exactly how your abs will respond to that kind of workout depends on
the way that you run (many people run incorrectly) and the way your
body reacts to that type of exercise. I can't count the amount of
times I've seen a few people have the exact same running schedule and
end up with different effects on their bodies. To answer your
question, yes, it is possible, but it cannot be garaunteed. If all you
care about is abs, then supplement your running with multiple types of
focused sit-ups.

It's possible by dieting only. Getting a siz-pack is all about reducing
body fat, so dieting helps a lot. Exercise also helps.

If you don't have the right genetics, some combination of liposuction,
steroids, and heavy weight-training are the best bet.

I have examined all the known religions of the world, and I do not
find in your particular religion of Faggotry one redeeming
feature. It is founded on hatred and lies. Millions of
innocent women and children, since the introduction of
Faggotry, have been abandoned, molested, and diseased. What has been
the effect of this perversion? To make 4% the world perverts and the
other 96% potential victims; to support deviance and disease all
over the earth. - User

I can tell you this: running 5 miles causes the abs to tone and tone
well without dieting. After the first run of your life you should
notice the toning. 2 months is not a long time. How much definition
will develop is based on what you already have there. Do you have fat
or little muscle? If you have definition and no fat already 2 months of
running 4 to 8 miles will make them shine.

It certainly tightens up mine, not as much as an electric cattle prod
up my [censored], but close.

Then in general you are expending more calories then go in your mouth.
Men carry their excess in the stomach region and losing weight will give
you a flatter stomach. If you happen to have bulging abs hiding under
the adipose then walla you join the abs club of America and go on tour.

Hmm, so more miles will give me bigger more defined and shinny abs? I
have a flat stomach and meet your suggested mileage(and have for about
18 years) and I have a flat stomach yet woe is me my six pack must be
inverted. If I want to get a real six pack and not the one from the
bodega, one needs to do more than run such as ab specific exercise.
Running alone will/can get you a flatter stomach, not create a 6 pack.

Depends what your body fat is right now. You'll need to get below 10% for
that to appear, and need to keep your diet in check as well. Situps and ab
exercises are vital for a strong core and good running form, but will also
help acheive a little more definition.

I found that leanness took months of consistent diet and exercise to
acheive. 2 months means you need to be close to that already.

Genetics play a great deal. I do a lot of abdominal stuff,
have have clearly strengthened my abs over several years
just going on amount of work I'm able to do, but I cannot
ever get them to look very cut despite the fact that I have
always been very thin, and am currently 131lbs at 5'10".
I have gone as low as 125lbs in the past few years.

My body fat is well into the single digits, my waist size is 28
or 29 depending on the brand of pants, but the fact is that
I still can't really see too much definition in that area.

True. Some of us, due to our genes, actually find it easier to
cultivate a quarter-barrel than a mere six pack.

Ok. I been checking out the diets (Atkins Low carb etc). Since I run 6-8
miles a day (taking off 2 days right now cause of final projects),
should I go on one of these diets?

It sounds as if you do not have enough muscle mass to show a six pack.

Way to selectively snip the part where I mention all the ab work
I do, and have done for years. My doctor disagrees with you.

Not really. Just pay attention to total calories.

Everybody has a six pack, visible in some and not in others. As
another poster noted genetics are very important

So genes + body fat are key in determining whether one's tummy displays
a well defined the "six pack".

Have scientists discovered which factors predispose ostensibly grown
men to attach such importance to having this "six pack"? Why have so
many of my fellow men forsaken one of the few advantages we
Y-chromosomed have traditionally enjoyed over the double exes: a
healthy lack of obsession and desparate feelings of inadequacy over
body image? Are "gut jobs" just around the corner... or in fact, am I
already behind the times, and they're already here and picking up steam
in CA, coming soon to NY?

The most annoying answer is always, "total calories in < total calories
out".

Seriously, I'm wading through the first chapters of Noakes these days
every morning in the bathroom. Today I came to the section where he
cites some research about how some of us are fat burners and some of us
are carb burners. Basically, different people have different substrate
"preferences" at rest, and as excercise intensity increases, everything
gets shifted towards burning more glycogen.

If that's true, to me it seems like some people might find it easier to
maintain a diet that will help them lose weight or maintain weight, if
that type of diet took advantage of their natural substrate preference.
Maybe fat burners are more comfortable dealing with insulin spikes and
can handle a high carb diet? Maybe carb burners would find trouble
with a low carb diet? Maybe a carb burner would be ok on low carb, as
long as they aren't also running for performance?

Makes me think about Ignoramous and his low carb experiment. You
really do have to find what works for you and keep to it.

gg, didn't you realize, if you wish hard enough and click the heels of
your ruby slippers, the real world *will* conform to your simple
