Ab Workout? How often?

[Atkid]

Since I have been on the Ab challenge I basically have been doing the abs everyday. I hear some experts recommend every other day for ab work the same as strength training in order to allow muscles to recover.

Question- How often do you work your ab muscles and those who do it every other day do you see results quicker than if doing it everyday?

Comments?

No takers on this? Does everyone basically do ab work everyday? No recovery rest between? Am interested in getting the best results with the least amount of effort.

Personally, yes I do do ab work everyday, but only via crunches. I'm sorry Idont really know the answer for you.

You could try pm'ing 2big4mysize, she knows lots about most stuff.

For some reason, abs can be done every day, although I don't know the reasoning behind this, since all other muscle groups need a rest day.

Umm...just a little disclaimer. I could be totally wrong.

I work with a personal trainer and we do abs 2x a week. Every Tues and Friday..Lots of leg lifts, situps on that damn slanted bench, hanging Knee lifts and the plank pilates move...its a killer workout but my abs are really taking shape...

Thanks drosa~
I have access to all of that equipment at the gym, do you do a certain number of each one or does the trainer just push you til you drop?

I do an ab workout everyday. my abs are flat but no means a six pack.

I think that if you train your abs using weights instead of just doing traditional situps, then you should rest between. Thats how most people get sixpack abs
