Defining extraordinary health by how your abs and overall body looks is not new. Building six pack abs is one of the oldest self-empowerment ideas around. The Spartans aimed to cultivate a balance between mind and body. The Romans described this as "Mens sana in corpora sano" which translates as "A sound mind in a sound body". Remember the mythological figures of Zeus, Atlas, Hercules and Apollo who were all depicted with ripped abs.
Even later, in the 15th and 16th centuries, Da Vinci and Michelangelo studied the Greeks. Michelangelo saw the body as a manifestation of soul and character. He believed that if someone had a strong mind and pure soul they should be represented as lean, strong and muscular in his sculptures and paintings. His paintings on the Sistine Chapel depict Adam and the young King David with clearly defined abdominal muscles and muscular, well shaped, bodies.
