Ab Training

jamiestolz2002 Posts: 1 Joined: 2002/03/12	2002/03/14, 01:19 AM Hi Everyone! I just have one question, how many times should you train your abs? Is it too much if you train your abs everyday? Thanks

This works better than you might imagine and it's also a very good idea with manipulating big weights since you're stabilizing the body. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

It seems to work for me. I do this only 2 times a week for each kind of ab training (weights,no weights) Hope that helped in some way good luck.
