There are people who believe if they reduce their body fat percentage level then they will have nice looking 6 pack abs.
But this is not true.
Even though 9% to 11% fat level is ideal to get six pack abs, there are many reasons why you don't see abs in your body even after getting such a low body fat level.
Here are two main reasons.
1.
Most online Body Fat Percentage calculators do not give exact figures.
Many doctors keep an electronic hand held device to measure the total fat percentage.
You should try this device and get an accurate percent level of fat your body has.
You may see higher percentage and you may still have to work harder to reduce the total fat.
2.
Personal genetics also play a very important role.
Many people store fat in their arms, others in their legs, in your case it might be in your abs.
i.
e.
even if you have only 11% fat in your body, the chances are, majority of them is store in your abs area.
So may be if you work a little more on your body and reduce fat level to 10% or even 9%, you might be able to see abs in your body.
Tips:

• Whenever you visit your family doctor, have him calculate your exact Body Fat Percentage.
  
• 9% to 11% are just an average figure, you might need to workout even harder to see abs in your body.
  
• Reducing body fat percentage isn't a solution to get abs, you certainly have to workout on your abs to build ab muscles.
  
• To reduce an overall body fat, you need to workout on your entire body - not just your upper body.
