a while. You shouldn’t work your abs every single day but you
shouldn’t miss an abs workout for an entire week. It is
recommended that you work your abs every other day or so. Miss
up your workouts and remember that it is extremely important to
keep working all parts of the body not just the abs. Trying
performing exercises that work all parts of the body.

should remain in a neutral position and there should be a space
between your chin and your chest. You will want to lead with
your chin and chest towards the ceiling. Contract your abs and
bring your should off the ground. At the same time raise your
legs upward and attempt to touch your hands and your feet.

process over and over. You should do at least fifteen reps.
