Why can i only see my abs when i flex? HELP!!?!


Question: Why can i only see my abs when i flex? HELP!!?
Ok, I am a 14 year old male, I am very active (Amateur boxer + Crosscountry runner) I train for boxing 5 days a week, run 3 days a week, and on top of that i do p90X ab ripper every other day. I am already pretty skinny and when I flex you can see a pretty defined 6 pack but when im not flexing i can barley see even the outline of the abs I kinda look a little bloated to. Is there anything i could do about this???
Thanks

More cardio? Sounds like you've just got a little bit of belly fat you need to burn off.



Well, you may be "skinny" and even workout a lot, but the key to being able to see your abs is having some well developed abs AND a low body fat percentage. The thing that the average person lacks and even what most people lack who work out regularly is a low body fat %. Men generally need to have a 10% body fat or lower to see their abs. Keep working on your abs.
