How Often Should You Work Your Abs?

Many people work their abs every day, and some work them multiple times per day. This is not usually the best way to exercise your abs (abdominal muscles). Treat your abs like other skeletal or core muscles and work them a maximum of every other day for the best results (tight abs, smaller waist line). Perform two to four different exercises, with two to three sets of each exercise. Do your ab exercises slowly and to the point of fatigue. In other words, proper form that focuses on those muscles. Some good exercises include variations of crunches, leg lifts, and twists.
