MYTH #2: YOU NEED TO TRAIN YOUR ABS EVERY DAY
Your abdominal muscles are the same as any other muscle group — overtraining them will lead to plateaus, loss of motivation, and an elevated risk injury. Avoid those things by resting your gut muscles for 48 hours after knocking out a tough routine like this one:

EXERCISE SETS / REPS REST
Hanging Leg Raise 3 / 12, 12, 12 1 minute
Decline Bench Crunch 4 / 15, 15, 15, 15 1-2 minutes
Abs Rollout 3 / 8-10 (slow) 1 minute
Exercise Ball Crunch 3 / 20, 15, 12 1 minute
