Can ANY ab exercise be done daily?

BRETTO Posts: 201 Joined: 2002/05/25	2002/08/13, 12:05 PM Can seated twists and related exercises be done on a daily basis, or are these just like any other movement? I mean, ft does say to do abs 3 times a week, while most other exercises are no more than once a week, so there must be something unique about abs exercises...right? I don't know. I just want to lose this nasty mid-section as soon as possible! :0)

Abs are muscles and react the same as other muscles. If I'm wanting to put on overall size, I'll train abs 2 or 3 times a week. If I'm trimming down, I'll treat them like every other muscle group.

Jump on the tread mill and eat your daily egg whites and brocoli with a big smile!!!! (o; -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Train them as any other muscle, no more than twice a week. And the other main factor that they so easily forget to tell you, is diet. YOu can work abs from now till kingdom come, and if you don't change your diet, they will NEVER show. You may even look fatter if you build ab muscles without diet change, they will just push the fat out even further. Do as Philia2 says...she is absolutely correct.
