## Six pack abs
Unlike other muscles, such as arms, you can't simply do core exercises to get a six-pack. This is because even if you have ab muscles, they'll still be hidden under a layer of belly chest fat. Diet and cardio are more important than core exercises. To get a six pack, you have to:
- Have _extremely low_ body fat.
- Doing Intermittent fasting is the most reliable way to acheive this.
- Do Cardio to get your chest muscles lean.
- Sprint interval workouts are the best.
- Do chest / weightlifting workouts.
- (Optional) Do ab / core exercises.
