When I am home from work my steps per day average at 10 to 12000 for the time I am there. When working that drops to 2 to 3000 per day.

When I was younger I weighed 75 kg and thought I was fat, now I weigh a hell of a lot more and know I am fat.

There are a multitude of lifestyle factors that play a part in it of which one is a sedimentary job where all you do all day is sit and stare at a screen. A six pack is hard to gain and maintain

@johndoe69za

Unfortunately you are right. I have the exact same problem - sedimentary job.

And honestly I am just too tired mentally at night when I get home from work to spend hours in the gym.

I gym just enough to look ok. Not great or good. And I hate eating plans and diets with all my heart.

So bye bye six pack.

@Skyblue -- you should enjoy while it lasts my friend. Hats off to you for the discipline!

Need to be at between 6 and 13 % body fat percentage for a 6 pack, Unless your job involves fitness I think it is very difficult to maintain and possibly not healthy either

GreyKnight I used to train in the morning which helped me get through the day, I work in the armpit of Africa now so a good gym is not available

@Greynight, I had a six-pack in mu twenties and thirties, then lost it for a while when I started running road races in my forties. Now I am back in the gym and regained my six-pack. I am 50 now and hope to keep it for a few more years.

You have my utmost respect Sky. Wow still a six-pack at 50!

In my book you can brag anyday! Well done.

Also heard from reliable sources you are a true gentleman.
