when trying to train your abs, should you do it every day or every other day like most body parts?

Every other day for abs, triceps, biceps and gluts!

No, every other day is good, your muscles need at least 24 hours between workouts to rebuild.  What I like to do is upper body one day and lower body on the off days, this way you can workout everyday if you want, then give everything a break and just do cardio once a week.

Crunches. Do 3x 15 crunches everyday 3 times. 3*3*15=135 crunches a day. It may sound like alot, but once you divide into your day its not so bad. Especially considering what you get in return. NICE ABS!

2400 at one time, because for at least eight of those 24 hours yuo're trying to do situps, you'll be asleep. the time difference doesn't add up. just work out for 2 hours, doing 2400 crunches, taking five minute breaks between segments of 250. that's what works for me. ecept i do 5000 a day. (i work out for about 3 hours)

For a six-pack you have to vary about 5-7 different kinds of ab workouts. Also do about 300 a day. That will definitely get you fast results.

allow time for your muscles to rest in between work out days so every other day is fine.

Muscles need a 24 hour rest period, so every other day is ideal. When you work your muscles you actually cause tiny tears in the muscle fibers and these need time to repair and strengthen. Work upper body one day and lower body the next day.

You can work out everyday. Just be sure not to work out the same muscle groups two days in a row.\n\nMyself i try and work out 3-4 times but I only concentrate on upper body and don't really work out my legs..\n\nStuff that the 2 day rule does not apply to is abs and cardio, you can do that everyday.

You should typically skip AT LEAST 1-2 days between most workouts to allow your muscles to recover and grow. However, I have read that the abdomen muscles can be trained every day.

I would say run/cycle to lose weight, either on treadmill/fitness bike or outside. About 1hr per day for that. 300-500 situp/crunches combination (takes about 30 minutes) in order to build abdominal muscles, and the dumbbells to build arms (whatever rep until your arms feel tired, but not extremely tight). You can lie down and lift the weights from your arms in a T position up to build chest muscles but benching is more effective.

I only workout each muscle once a week hard.  You need to give time for them to recover.  Don't do as someone mentioned the same muscle two days in a row that's rediculous.  Once a week each muscle with a hard workout is more than enough.  I have been working out for many years and you do need to change it up every once in a while and mix in new exercises and vary your days around.

The best way is to do crunches. Start out with like 20-40 a day. Slowly work your way up to about a 100-120 a day. It will work. That's what I did. works wonders.

It depends on your metabolism and your body in general.  Once a day should be considered healthy but not everyone is healthy.  Your eating habits have a lot to do with it.
