Thread: ab question

I do four sets usually. I wouldn't do them more than three times a week.

And of course, everyone is going to tell you, great abs come from a great diet, which is true.

i have read that to get best results you should only workout no longer than 1 hour.my workouts are only suppose to last no more than 1 hour and by adding some ab workouts i dont think that im gona be able to finish all the workouts within 1 hour.is it okay for me to workout other body parts within an hour then do my abs after that?or should the ab workout be in that 1 hour session?

Probably should wait for someone with more experience than myself to answer. However, when I was doing abs 3X a week, I would add it onto my workout.

Also, as I stated in another thread, I have only been doing them 2X a week, and I'm going to go to once a week for awhile. Because I've noticed a lot better results with my abs from working with free weights, as well as a good diet.

Doing some cardio may help too.

3X a week here. It's true diet is best for the great abs look but I work my abs to help avoid lower back problems.

I only work mine once a week. I get enough indirect work from other exercises, so for me, I feel it's enough.

twice a week, on my off days I'll do 3 sets of crunches and 3 sets of leg raises.

Yep, that's basically the way to do it right there. I swap cable crunches and reverse cable crunches in every now and again. Do thee above and you will be fine unless you have extremely undeveloped abs.
