EXPOSING YOUR ABS is a matter of getting very low body fat levels. The lower your body fat, the “thinner” your skin will appear (actually the “skin-fold” which contains skin plus subcutaneous fat), and the more your abdominals will show through.

It’s obvious that the United States is in crisis mode when it comes to battling the bulge. With spare donuts and kegs around our midsections, there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight.

Yet, when people are incentivized to exercise with the promise of getting paid to do so, they still aren’t willing to stick to a program and hit the gym. This fact actually blows my mind. It’s hard to believe that anyone would give up something that pays them AND gives them health benefits as well.

Some brands are trying to be an ecommerce giant while others go the route of working with distributors and trying to get their line in retail locations across the US. But, there seems to be one common practice in my opinion that majority of the supplement companies are lacking—content creation.
