Ab program too easy?

J_p_K Posts: 5 Joined: 2002/03/20	2002/04/05, 02:47 PM I'm on the third week of the ab program now and im finding it kind of easy. Should i do a few extra reps or another set or will it get harder soon?

Don't forget to try and go slow on most of the exercises for the positive and negative part of them and pause for a second at the top of most of them (like a crunch).. if its still too easy you can probably add a TINY bit of weight.. but you probably don't want to add too much.. sooner or later you'll probably hear the classic phrase "a six pack is made in the kitchen not in the gym" so don't forget to watch your diet too...

I am on week 5 now it's starting to get interesting. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.
