Mutt is right...it is a matter of getting rid of the layer of fat covering the muscle through proper dieting. Once you expose the muscles, you will find that they "look" tense all the time...

All answers are correct. Diet is the key. If you can flex the muscle and make it tight, but unflexed it is kind of flabby, it is a layer of fat over the muscle. Definition will show through diet. Hit the cardio along with it to speed things up a bit to help create your caloric deficit. Spring is here!! LOL...
