Ab training
Hey David,
I was just on your site, Bodybuilding.com, reading about ab workouts. I am 16 years old and am interested in getting a strong core and a six-pack. I read on your site that its bad to workout your abs every day because it will actually make your ab muscles weaker? So how often should I work out my abs? Also, i know that the one key to perfect abs is losing body-fat. I am about 5′10, and weigh about 155 pounds. Is the best way to burn body fat cardio? And if so, what kind of cardio? I have a workout bike in my basement that i ride, but is there a better, faster way to burn body fat?
Thank you for all your information on your site, and thank you for your time.
Thanks,
Gabe
Hi Gabe,
I recommend you work your abs three times a week with three sets of swiss Ball crunches and three sets of hangin or machine leg raises. Do not overdo it. This will be to carve definition into the abs as you do not want to build them too big as they will distort the rest of the physique.
It also sounds to me that you need to build more muscle. this will definitely help you with any fat loss. I have cut way back on my cardio of late and have increased the intensity of all of my weight training workouts. Cardio is now twice a week for 25 minutes each time. Eat loads of protein and good clean calories and train hard. build your muscle and you will lose the weight as any additional muscle will also burn fat.
