Lose the fat.

Yeh it's that simple, lose the body fat hiding the muscle.

With abs for example, most people think you get a 6 pack by doing sit ups. In most cases the 6 pack is already there, just the fat is covering it.

No but like its all muscle showing when i tense and stuff its just not that defined compared to how i thought it would be.

The only way to do it is to bulk up on more muscle and lose more fat.

Swimming is a good way to get toned. Also it's easy.

definition = cut - consume less than maintenence

size&mass = bulk - consume over maintenence

What parts of your body are you aiming at defining more? There are some specific things you can do for certain parts of your body..

For example with the six pack, as Smits said most people already have the muscle its just covered by fat.. So the best way to get more defined abs is to do crunches to further build the muscle, and then to do some sort of cardio like jogging to help burn away the layer of fat that is covering your abs.

But in general, you usually should just try to work it out more to build the muscle (and eat properly while you're doing this), and then also try to lose any extra fat that might be hiding it.
