not just your body fat % that affects your ability to have a six pack. get to the gym and work hard, lots of squats, curls and crunches. I know I go on about it but body pump (if run correctly) is very good for this and overall tone.
You could be a fat free twiglet but still not have a sixpack.

Depends on where you store most of your fat.
Some store most on there gut, others on their legs and ass |

Body Pump, complemented by some of your own ab work should do it. Combine this with some cycling to strip the fat down = six pack. I would say about 8% fat should see you right.

Roemary Conley is richer than me  It's all in the marketing. Body Pump as I understand it is a form of weight machine circuit training with a bit of Step Aerobics thrown in. Just a 'catchy' name. |

Same old stuff, new name, new package, market it to gullible types who will pay over the odds for what they can get for a lot less at 90% of gyms (or even in the local sportshall for £2.50 a session)
If you see what i mean.
Won't be long before 'L' shaped cranks are back. |

I know what you mean about the name Body Pump - it's rubbish. I cringe when I say it. However, it is an excellent class. I could tell you all the moves, all the music and you still wouldn't be able to recreate it on your own, you need it as a class, with a competent instructor directing you on encouraging you to push yourself.
Also never understimate the power of a class full of babes to help you lift that little bit extra weight.
