How do you know if it's the extra fat you need to lose or if it's the mUscle you need to build??? I have a fairly flat stomach but want my abs to show. Is it fat or do I need to build muscle??
It's bodyfat. You need to lean up. Eat less and move more. It's that simple.
I agree, but building the muscles will help too, especially if you want a six-pack (even though it's technically an eight-pack).
Everybody has ab muscles that would look great if they had no fat over them (subcutaneous fat: the fat just under the skin and over the muscle), so reducing body fat will let them show. However, the thicker and stronger your ab muscles are the more they show at a given body fat level, so developing your ab muscles more will help as well (and the exercises you do to develop your abs will help reduce body fat, although you can't out exercise a bad diet.
