Expert: John Izzo Date: 8/1/2007 Subject: Toning my abs
Question I've recently become interested in toning my abs and I was wondering how often I should do an ab work-out. Is it okay or more beneficial to do one everyday or is that detrimental to the process?
Answer Depending on what your goals are, abs should be treated like any other muscle. They can be worked on 3x a week and using different types of exercises (not just crunches).
