Anything greater than 1 is good enough for me.

I've also increased my workouts by jogging faster and longer and adding in upper body exercises including situps. It definately made a difference. I've lost 20% of my body weight and my gut is now almost flat. However, there is still a layer of fat that I can't seem to get rid of that is prevent the six pack look. |

The transverse abdominus (TA) acts as your own natural weight belt by acting as a sling covering your abdomen. I find it funny when I see big guys at the gym with 6 packs but with a slightly protruding abdomen and they're always using a weight belt. |

The purchase of iPods, Bose, and _________ will alleviate much of the anxiety--but not eliminate it--as our collective consciousness must not fall below the minimum-set FUD standard. That said, get yourself some liposuction. |
