So ive gained a little wieght around my stomach so i want to workout my abs again. Is 40 ab workouts a day (7 days a week) bad? Will it stun my growth? 20 min in the morning, and the next 20 min workout at night. Im wondering if its too much of a workout everyday. I also workout my arms and legs 3 days a week.

Give each muscle a rest period of one day before working it again. Alternate exercises during the 20 min, 5 min crunches, 5 min bicycle crunches, 5 min leg raises, 5 min planks. And some other ones yadda yadda, and don't expect your stomach to shrink down just cause your working your abs.

For only ab workouts? My stomach isnt a fat blobby mess o_O its just a little fat but not too skinny. I already have some 6 packs forming. Well, im expecting nice hard 6 packs in a few months.

give yourself a break every now and then, working your abs 7 days a week will stunt your growth

We all have 6packs, its just the size and amount of fat over it that makes us not see it. HIIT to get rid of that extra weight around your body.

I doubt 40 will help. I do 100 4 times a week and no 6pack, almost no fat either though.

Charmer said: "7 days a week is too much." No no, 12 days a week is good.

Ab workouts don't burn your fat, it just makes your muscles stronger and bigger. Cardio takes away the fat. And no 7 days a week is not good, do it every other day, the rest is just as important as the workout.

You talking bout 40 crunches, minutes, or hours o_o And EEAO, either your doing the same exercise too much, or you're working out too much and you're causing muscles to lose mass.

Damn you people are retarded. Work out every other day. Dont do it twice a day either. 1 Workout every other day. You can do crunches, cross crunches, leg lifts, etc. Do what you can do without straining yourself. Ex 4x25 crunches, 4x15 leg lifts and others.

You're only suppose to do it every second day, ie. Mon, Wed, Fri, because you need to give your muscles time or they will still be sore and tense by the next time you work them.
