You really have to keep an eye on what you put into yourself to lower the fat %... Set up a profile and get some exercises from FT in regards to abs... it'll help, but the six pack only comes with a great diet... t -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self."

	2004/05/16, 02:15 PM Eat fresh meat, vegetables and fish whenever possible. If it comes ready to eat in a box or a bag, try to eat less of it or none at all. This isn't a 100% foolproof test but it's a good start. Drink water instead of sodas. Get enough rest. -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie
