Every other day is fine. Don't need to punish Abs daily.

It depends on what works for you. I work abs 5 days a week, and that routine works very well for me. I never do the same excercises 2 days in a row though. Just make sure you keep your abs sucked in and tight while doing any ab work.

I only train abs once a week with heavy resistance. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Get your cardio and diet in check, and the abs will take care of themself :D

Think "torso" instead of "abs" and this issue resolves itself.

Since you need to work equal amounts of back (torso) work as you do with your front (torso) work, you can easily work your abs on alternate days as your back.

There are any number of spinal erector and hip exercises that you can do on the off days. Just keep the amount of ab work equal to the rest of the torso work.

Hi Dankity,

I workout every other day, and it works well for me. If your workout schedule has good results and is not hurting your body, then you can continue it.
