Everyone wants to have a nice sixpack of abs to show off. First thing everyone does to achieve that is a bunch of sit ups everyday. For those that do that and believe it will work, it WON'T. To achieve that desired look of A RIPPED SIXPACK you need to have low bodyfat levels for your abs to appear. To do that, have a clean, healthy diet, and exercise regularly with some cardio added about 30 minutes five times a week with a good pace. It is still good to do abdominal exercises but don't just do one, do many different ones and rotate them every workout. This is a muscle you could work everyday however, I recommend working the different abdominal areas every workout so you can work the other part of the abs aren't isn't sore and perform the exercise without pain.
Example:
1: lower abs-leg raises, laying leg raises, knee ins
2: upper/middle abs-sit ups, decline situps, toe touches
3:obliques-side bends, side to side twists, Russian twists
There are plenty of other exercises for the abdominals, these are just a few good examples. You may also work your abs by just keeping your stomach in and tight while you workout so you burn extra calories and strengthen your abs. You may also do these just by standing in line at the grocery store or sitting in traffic going home. All you have to do is let all your breath out, bring your stomache in, and hold tight for about 15 seconds then breath again. You can do this a few times a day, anytime.
But as said before, this is all useless if you don't have a good diet and don't do any cardio. SO GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND WORK FOR THOSE ABS!
