Want Washboard Abs? 1 6-Pack to Go!

Kymberly Williams-Evans, MA and Alexandra Williams, MA

Dear K & A,

I am a reasonably fit 50ish man. While good genes have kept me from exhibiting some of the signs of middle age, I would like to firm up my abs a little. By that, I mean I want a 6 pack. I want old women to do their laundry on my abs. For that matter, I want young women to do their laundry on my abs. Accomplish that, and I’ll kiss you both on the lips. But since a six pack seems unlikely, I’ll settle for getting my abs to the point that my wife doesn’t rub my belly and make a wish. What should I do? If you tell me that the answer is to have sex twice a day, I’ll kiss you both on the lips again.

Do Your Laundry on This

Alexandra: Gosh, David, where to start? With your 1-pack or your coded message that we’re supposed to encourage you to frolic with old women, young women and your wife. And what wish is your wife making? And why do we suspect that backbends are involved somehow?

Kymberly: Excuse me sister of mine (cuz no one else claimed you) but wouldn’t we say David has a 12 pack, more abs for the price of one? David, mein man, check out these incredibly incredible posts we wrote about Flab-you-Less Abs:

Short version in English with subtitles: if you are carrying any extra fat, then get busy…with cardio! You might have the best half dozen pack in the world, but if it’s hidden under a blanket of adipose (fancy name for “fat”) then you need to lose the cover! Then, do what we suggested in the Fab Abs series — often! Let me also add that one of the best ways to define abs is to do upper body strength training with great form. Another ganz fein option is Pilates. Both activities require abdominal compression and activation, which will move you closer to your 6-pack goal. Stop the Belly Rubbing and get on it!

A: Our colleague, Jonathan Ross, wrote a book and used you as his cover model. We actually recommend you get his book as we happen to know that the exercises are kiss-inducing. And a number of them require no equipment, unless you consider your own body to be “equipment.” Mrrrrowww. And best of all, you’ll love his sense of humor. Did you know that abs are fun? Especially if they’re fun-sized!

K: Did you click on those links yet? All you need to know is contained therein so commit! Click, (do more than) Crunch, and Commit! Tiny print label warning: those who want 6-packers need to commit to intense, consistent healthy eating and exercising habits. No way around it.

A: It’s a long way from Switzerland to California just to deliver a kiss. But send us the air tickets and we’ll come to you! Do you like orange, pink or red lipstick best? Anyway, you’ll recognize us by this photo of us engaging our, er, abs…

Air Tickets, Bitte und S'il Vous Plait

K: Let me translate that for you into Swiss (aka Schweizer Deutsch): Send us air tickets and we’ll come to Switzerland. Personally I’ll be too busy toning my abs on the snowboarding alps to come your way. You’ll be too busy doing laundry anyway. Verstehen?

Readers: Have you experienced a correlation between your abs and kissing?
