Best Ab Workout – The Plan
Here’s my basic philosophy on working out your abs. Depending on your workout program and lifestyle, you have 2 general options for ab workouts. The first is to work out your abs in short bursts on a frequent basis (for example, every other day). The second option is to have full, dedicated ab workouts once or twice a week (like any other muscle group).
I tend to go with the second option myself, but both can be equally effective. This workout is designed based on the second perspective – it’s a full length, dedicated abdominal and core workout that will get you seeing fast results.
The total workout takes approximately 30 minutes, and depending on how well equipped you are, most could be done at home or at the gym.
When it comes to sets and reps, you want to max out your energy expenditure and exhaust your abdominal muscles as much as possible. In most cases, aiming for 20-30 reps will be sufficient, but listen to your body! Everyone is different.
I’m also going to give you the option of doing between 2 and 3 sets of each exercise. If you’re a beginner or short on time, 2 may be a good starting point. But your ultimate goal should be 3 sets each exercise for this workout.
