Abs workout – Concentrated Exercises      

February 25th, 2007

There are many abdominal workouts you can choose to do.  The important thing here is that you hit the abs at least thrice a week and at least 20 minutes per session.  It is critical that these exercises be done in proper form, and would be best if done in cycle.

Quality is key and not quantity. Perform these exercises in good form and with the right technique.  Don’t hurry up each repetition just so you get done with it right away.  It won’t be able to do you any good if you cheat yourself. 

Do each set with 15 to 20 repetitions each. As much as possible, do not rest between repetitions, and minimize rest time between sets, in between exercises or in between each cycle.  This will increase the intensity of your workout, and your abdominal muscles will respond accordingly.

And like all other muscles, do not over-train your abdominals. It also needs to heal and build new tissues as you hit it with your abdominal exercises.  It is thus advised to either hit it 3 times to 4 times a week.  Allow it to grow strong first, before you subject it to more stress with your exercises.
