Rest 1 day between sit-up excercising?

s_corey Posts: 1 Joined: 2001/11/16	2003/01/15, 06:07 PM If I'm doing 50+ situps at night, should I rest the next day, or excercise every night?? My Abs don't ache or anything during the day after I work them..

When you work your muscles, it wouldnt make any sence to work them and have no time to recover. so dont do them everynight. Try three times a week or so. This way the muscles will have more time to recover and you will see results -------------- Tiffany Der #10 "You have to make it through the rain in order to see the Rainbow........."

If you are doing 1 complete set of 50 and nothing happening, try doing the sit ups really slow, and try 2 sets of 15. You will see a difference. Hope this helps. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P. Jones Ivan Montreal Canada
