When it comes to working out on your abs there are a few things to keep in mind...
* More weight less reps for adding bulk and getting your body cut (6 pack for example) that's why you'll see some guys do ab workouts with free weights. Most women do the exercise with no weights and more reps. This will help tone without adding bulk.
* Give it a rest every other day - doing workouts requires some recoop time so your body heals itself and makes it stronger, that's why it is essential that when wanting to work out every day of the week alternate different days with different body parts you want to work on. For me personally, 3 days a week I do ab/lower body workouts while 2 days a week I do upper body and back.
* It is also important when working on your abs that you work on your back as well.
An Ab exercise you NEEEEEEDDDDD to incorporate:
Lay on your back and do deep breathing. Inhale and push your stomach outward. Exhale and let your stomach sink down as if your trying to push your navel into the floor. Breathing like that is that simple. 10-15 reps (and 2-3 sets if you can)
WHAT IT DOES: works other abdominal muscles UNDERNEATH the ab muscles we are dying to make perfect. Without working those muscles underneath, you're not going to have that flat stomach.
