Should I Workout Abs Everyday

Q: Do you train abs everyday and what exercises do you do?

A: No, I do not train abs everyday, as popular demand suggests. I believes abs are like any other bodypart- if trained intensely they should have a recuperation day. I train abs 3-4 times per week with a day in between for recovery. I train abs for about 15-20 minutes. I perform 3 different exercises, 3-4 sets each, 15-25 reps per set. I alternate at least one exercise each time I train abs, to cover a variety of different angles and to break the norm. I highly recommend hanging leg raises. Other exercises of choice include crunches, reverse crunches, resistance machine crunches, and cable pull crunches. When training abs listen to your body just like any other part, if they are sore they may need another day of recuperation time. Note: When training abs remember to include some lower back training and also to stretch abs and lower back pre- and post-ab workout.
