Swapping ABS exercises

2003/10/27, 03:22 PM
I have been switching my normal ab work for ab work with resistance i.e Nautilus ab cruncher machine. I know some weeks with my normal ab work my reps are 25. Should I be doing this many reps when I am using resistance? The reps that I am getting are figuring in with no resistance.

I think it depends on your goals. Use additional resistance if you want to add muscle to your ab area. You will find that working abs with weights will be more challenging...
