Can you have strong abs without seeing them?

Not visible, but hard as steel?

Even if you don't see abs, you can have a rock-hard cube belly that is very functional. Strong abs can be there, even if they are hidden under a layer of fat. Women have a higher average body fat percentage than men. The fat percentage for women is on average 20 percent, which means that you have to train a lot harder for visible abs. As soon as your abs get stronger, you will notice this in everyday life:

  • You get a straighter posture:this makes you look slimmer.
  • Back pain can be reduced because your back muscles are less stressed now that your abs can handle a lot of force.
  • Improve your sports performance.
  • Your body becomes stronger and more flexible, reducing the risk of injury.
