MYTH #2: YOU NEED TO TRAIN YOUR ABS EVERY DAY
Your abdominal muscles are the same as any other muscle group — overtraining them will lead to plateaus, loss of motivation, and an elevated risk injury. Avoid those things by resting your gut muscles for 48 hours after knocking out a tough routine like this one:
EXERCISE | SETS / REPS | REST |
Hanging Leg Raise | 3 / 12, 12, 12 | 1 minute |
Decline Bench Crunch | 4 / 15, 15, 15, 15 | 1-2 minutes |
Abs Rollout | 3 / 8-10 (slow) | 1 minute |
Exercise Ball Crunch | 3 / 20, 15, 12 | 1 minute |
