Some people work them everyday..I think 2x a week is good personally. Especially if you are doing full body workouts on the other days. You use your abs to stabilize you and they get worked too.

Research says here is no need to. I, personally like to get rid of everything (even my multi) for a week every 3 months. It helps to cleanse...like pushing a re-start button. I've added a b complex...love it!!!!!! I am a firm believer!!! It helps regulate insulin among a ton of other great benefits.

I'd have to agree with you there! Even better is getting all those great clothes on sale lol, Victoria's Secret has awesome sales right now! And the warm weather can't get here fast enough, it is a wind chill of -13 right now here and 30 mile an hour winds this morning on my drive to work. And that was after I pryed open my frozen garage door! I can't say i blame people for living in warm climates all year round!

Sounds like an amazing workout! I don't think my joints could take it these days! My legs are coming along as I have changed my program to include legs more often and I'm now building up the weight again. I also do deep lunges and squats and my definition is getting better.

Thanks for the comment. Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym. Diet is 80% of it. Stay consistent and you'll get there. Good luck.
