There's no set rule on this. I find that abs, like calves and forearms, are difficult to overwork. And working these parts of the body would not likely comprise your recovery for the larger muscles (legs, etc). Personally, I like to do 20 minutes or so a day of good core/ab work. Planks...

Inexpensive. Requires just one measurement and is suprisingly accurate: http://www.accumeasurefitness.com/products/fitness3000.html

Love it. Can't live without it. You have to get an expensive one -- the cheaper ones just don't do the job. http://www.zojirushi.com/ourproducts/ricecookers/ns_zcc.html

Maybe you can find something in the Rotations forum?

I switched from soy to almond milk a few years ago and I love it. I try not to get too much soy in my diet (it's still a bit too controversial for me). Almond milk can be a bit more expensive, but about four times a year my co-op runs it on sale, so I get about $1/carton off. If you buy a...
