Okay im sure it's been asked before but I did a search and couldn't find any info so, How often can i workout my abs? I love training them and IF i skip a day they feel flabby right away! And- Is there any specific move that helps with the lower abdominals? I had my dd over a year ago and have a "buldge belly" on my lower abs that I would love to get rid of. And Im aware you cannot spot train but I do feel a difference and I am working out in other way's as well I am just curious if anyone knows. Thanks! - kim
Meg, one of the trainers on the forum here, went to a seminar not long ago and it was recommended that abs need the same rest as any other muscle group, 1 or 2 days depending on the intensity of your workout......
I believe you can work out your abs everyday without causing any injuries, just remember to work out your back too. That's what our physiology professor told us anyways. Abs doesn't seem to need the rest time like the rest of the body does.
Hmmm, like Ilene said, I attended a workshop given by the head of all personal trainers for the gym chain where I work. He said that doing abs every day will cause microscarring in the muscle and to give them a day off, like any other muscle group. I guess expert opinions differ, but I don't do abs more than three times a week myself.
Ab workout's how often?
