3 Steps To Great Abs!

Myth: You need to work your abs everyday.

Truth: The best way to develop abdominal strength and tone is to
work your abs to exhaustion. You need to allow your abdominal
muscles to recover..this equates to 24-48 hours of rest time
between workouts.

Increase the intensity of your workouts
gradually. If you overdo it, not only will you be excessively sore
(a little soreness is a good thing, it signifies that you have
worked the muscle enough for it to repair itself and become
stronger in the process), but you may discourage yourself because
you will need more rest time than normal and it will be harder to
do your ab exercises.
Myth: The more situps you do, the better.
Truth: Doing hundreds of situps will not help you lose abdominal
fat! Situps actually do little to increase strength because they
focus on edurance and are inefficient; it is hard to overload the
abdominal muscles doing situps.

Thus, you will be wasting your
time. Crunches (yes, crunches) are the best way to overload the abs
and work the entire midsection, whether you do them on the floor or
on a Swiss Ball (my personal favorite!). There are many variations
of crunches, and each targets different parts of the abdominal
muscles. While doing crunches, it is imperative that you focus on
proper technique and gradually increasing resistance.

Using this
method, you can fatigue your abdominal muscles using fewer
reps.
Myth: Situps are the key to getting "cut" ab muscles.
Truth: If you have layers of abdominal fat covering your abs,
situps, or any other exercise, for that matter, won't do you much
good. For a strong, cut midsection, keep in mind these tips:
1.

Train your abs with resistance. If you are a beginner, try
crunches without resistance first. As you get stronger, then move
to more challenging moves or crunches using a Swiss Ball.
2.

You need consistent cardiovascular exercise (helps to burn
fat faster, performed at 80% of your maximum heart rate).
3. Cut the fat in your diet to shed body fat and create
definition. This is the only way your abs will show through!
Remember, great abs are made in the kitchen!
