Waschbrettbauch

It's easy to get a "Waschbrettbauch" - just watch what you eat, focus on low-fat foods, keep far away from desserts and other empty calories, and make intense stomach workouts part of your weekly routine. Well, ok, maybe it's not so easy after all. But it is easy to remember the word "Waschbrettbauch." In English, it's usually called a six-pack, but the German word for a toned stomach refers to an old-fashioned "Waschbrett" - a washing board with wooden slats to rub dirty clothes on. There's another comfort when it comes to the "Waschbrettbauch": Everyone has one, even if you can't always see it!
