they don't build muscle and they don't build fat...

working out abs like legs and back isn't really required unless your a fitness model or body builder competitor

i rely more on heavy compopund free wt exercises (deadlifts, squats, lunges, shoulder press variations etc) for mine and keeping a lowish body fat %
