Training abs question

[Marnie]

Hi Cathe and everyone else...

I really like training my abs. Especially with your workouts! My question is, can abs be trained every day? Or do they need rest days like other muscle groups? I've read so many conflicting opinions on this. Some say rest abs once a week, some say every other day, still others say they can be worked daily. Would love to get your thoughts on this Cathe. And anyone else - what do you think? Thanks so much!

I work them on alternate days. I feel they need a rest also.

One of my sons has ROCK HARD abs, and he goes at it every day and does endless situps and obliques--just on and on and on. I wish I had his abs--you can see every ripple of muscle. I was doing them every day for about 2 months, but since doing the S and H rotation, I have been doing 90 minute workouts, and just peter out at the end, so I don't add on abs. I probably should.
