How Often to Work Out Your Abs? (ULTIMATE AB QUESTION!)

What ab exercises should you never skip? Find out in the program

Knowing how often to work out your abs is just as important as knowing which ab exercises you should be doing! The problem is, there is a lot of confusion as to what the right ab workout frequency is. In this video I tell you not only how many days a week I think you should be doing ab work, but more importantly, five reasons why.

Some people suggest that you train your abs just like any other muscle group, no more than one or two times a week. Others believe that the abs require higher frequency training due to their muscle fiber composition, I would be one of them. But that's not the only reason as you'll see in this video.

One of the biggest arguments for frequent ab training is the crucial role they play in providing core support to the spine. As primarily postural muscles, the abdominals must be ready and able to fire consistently and without fail. If you think that training them once or twice a week is going to challenge them to improve, or even prepare them for the job they have...you are sadly mistaken.

Seven days a week ab training is my personal recommendation. That said, before you think that means you have to start doing ab workouts every single day, not so fast. The abs can be worked either directly or indirectly. In the ATHLEAN-X program, we put the core at the core of every exercise and rely on indirect ab training to provide the stimulus required from your normal workout. Add in the direct training recommendations from the six pack promise and you have the perfect blend of ab workout frequency to really carve out those abs faster than ever!

Beyond the question of how often should I work out abs is the question of when to work abs. Is there a best time to train abs and attack your core. For me, the answer is no. Whatever time you are able to be consistent with your ab training is going to be the right time for you. I personally find that doing my ab workout just before dinner every night is the winning combination. Realizing that I will never skip my nighttime meal, I partner my ab exercises with it so I never forget to do them either. If you think this will work for you, give it a try and let me know how you do.

For all the people hating, Jeff should have been more clear, but I believe he meant 5-7 days a weak in combination of indirect training and quick ab workouts like his six pack promise 10 min stuff. Quick and Efficient. That means adding a few sets of abs for 10-15 min onto a each workout or engaging abs in complex lifts. Not that crazy to recommend really.

Actually a true inspiration. I am one week Into training and changing my life. I'm 210ibs and this is so hard for me. I'm 36 and never done any gym or excessive lifting. I am aching like fuck but tomorrow morning I am going for a run. I watch these ever night before bed to force my brain into motion and to remain positive.
Thanks athlean

For anyone watching this video I highly recommend watching his bloated abs video too. I was doing things wrong all this time and these two videos alone changed a lot for me.

The indirect ab work is great. I do a chest routine where my abs are sore for a day or two later just from doing chest. It's pretty cool! I dig it.

bruce lee also trained his abs every day. He did "direct ab training" every day and got great results

It's so funny to watch his older videos compared to his newer ones... The cadence of his voice is much slower and much more relaxed. Now, Jeff speaks like he's being chased down an alley. :-D

I'd love to see a discussion about core strenght between Jeff and Elliot Hulse. That'd be really interesting.
