Cardio is fine but abs are just like any other muscle in they need just as much rest as anything. Doing abs everyday or even more than twice a week is pointless and not going to do you any good.
rest plays as crucial a role as diet and workout..it is actually when your body grows the most......
I've heard that you can do Abs everyday and still grow?Quote:

I get good abs workout from deadlifts, squats and lat rows.
So you think 3 times a week is overkill?Quote:
