A 34-year-old female asked:
Can anyone get flat abs if they eat right and exercise regularly? or can genetics (fat storage in stomach) prevent some ppl achieving visible 6 pack?

Most: Most can get the desired effect they search for with extremely hard work and eating well and toning exercises, but if inherently obese and/or with much fatty tissue/bulk around the abs already, it would be more difficult to achieve the magazine/Hollywood look you are probably craving. best wishes.
