Is it true that I can do abs every day because they don't need rest? How about lower back and sides?
This is a common misconception. I hear it all of the time. "Oh, the abs are a special muscle and they require daily workouts." The other variation is, "They are rapidly recovering so they CAN be worked out every day." Indeed, some people swear by it and claim that daily ab workouts is the KEY to having a defined six-pack. Is it true? The answer is NO! Let me explain ...

9 times out of 10 the reason people don't see their abs has nothing to do with doing crunches and everything to do with a layer of fat obscuring them. I've had people get a six pack without ever doing a single abdominal exercise, and I know a lot of people who do crunches all day long and don't see their abs.

The balls are great, but they are not the end-all-be-all some people swear they are ... that is just a trend. They do serve a purpose.

You are actually asking the wrong question. See, there is not any workout that is going to target extra flab in the stomach area.

I'm a 47 year old mother of 3 children. I'm not looking for "6-pack abs". I also understand that spot-reduction of fat is not possible through exercise. But 3 pregnancies and 3 c-sections have taken their toll on my abdominals. My stomach muscles are very weak, and my waist has all but disappeared. I'm not overweight, but my mid-section looks terrible! Will crunches and oblique exercises tighten my abdominal muscles enough to make a visible improvement in my profile? Will it trim my waist if the muscles are more toned - kind of like sucking in my stomach really hard?
» Read more Should I only work my abs when I am losing fat/weight?
I'm curious why your abs would only be worked until cutting? I guess there is still this belief that to have sterling abs, you must work them directly.

If you cannot see your abdominal muscles, grab the fat that is near your navel or love handles. If you've heard the expression, "Can't pinch an inch" the reason is that skin itself is only a few millimeters thick. Even if you had "loose skin" you would be able to pinch it flat, like the rubber of a deflated balloon. All of that excess you have in your hands is fat: a special type of fat called "subcutaneous fat" or fat beneath the skin.
