In recent years it’s become generally accepted by fitness experts that the abs are no different from any other of the body’s muscle groups in that they will respond best and fastest to training of the high intensity type. And there seems no logical reason why this should not be so. There’s no doubt that your legs, arms, shoulders and back etc respond best to the performance of a relatively few reps with a heavy weight and these are the principles you should also adopt in training your abs. Of course it’s difficult to use heavy weights directly on your abs, but the principle of intensity remains. An intense abs workout is what you should aim for, and there are very many suitable exercises which can help you achieve this.
