Why are there no rest breaks for ab work?

I've been doing CTXs all week (did All Step today) and was wondering why we get nice :) little breathers in between sets of other strength work, but when we do abs, there's no stopping at all. (Of course I can stop if I want and did a few times), but was wondering the physiology or reason behind it. Thanks and I enjoy working out with you! -- Renee
 
Just guessing, but maybe because there's no weight added and you can do so many reps before you're tired, the only way to fatigue the muscle is to just keep whalin' on it with no breaks. Otherwise, we'd be doing crunches for 15 minutes!
