Should I train my abdominal muscles every day?

Also, how many repetitions of crunches should I optimally perform?

A: You should treat your abdominal muscles like any other muscle group, which means you shouldn't train them every day. Your abdominals, like all of your other muscle groups, need recovery time between workouts.

As with any resistance training exercise, you ideally want the last few repetitions to be difficult to complete.

Performed correctly, 10 to 25 repetitions for one to three sets of abdominal exercises provide a more than adequate training stimulus. If you can perform more than 25 repetitions of an abdominal exercise, you are most likely performing the repetitions too rapidly or with improper form.

You can increase the challenge and intensity of abdominal exercises by using added resistance, moving more slowly or performing the exercises on a slant board or exercise ball so that your head is at a lower elevation than your legs.

Do not think there are better, Do not give up too far away, love can travel with you; do not give up because someone is not rich, hard-working can make you rich; do not have now is the best; parents opposed to give up, you will find the love to give up because of this reason will be the regrets of your life. In fact, for the love, the more pure happiness.
