[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only women at your age that have “visible abs” that l know aren’t doing what they are doing for that purpose. They are endurance athletes that just happen to have that as a side effect. [/quote]

I'm 48 and have visible abs.  My body fat is 16%.  I work out 2 hours a day.  I used to run 4 miles a day, but I can't now so I walk it instead.  I do yoga 2x a week - think power yoga, ashtanga, or bikrum - not the fluffy lay on the floor stuff.  I lift weights 2x/wk - again not the fluffy 5 lbs to tick a box - I sweat and get it done quickly because I hate weights.  Then, for fun I'll rock climb or do something active like bike ride at minimum once a week, but on vacations I'll do it everyday.

On top of this I watch my food.  As I age this is the most difficult thing.  I get cellulite by looking at icecream or smelling fries.  I swear I don't even have to eat them to get fat.

Basically walking won't do it.  Cut your fat and build muscles.  It's hard; no short cuts [/quote]
