Top 10 Questions About Abdominal Exercises

Answer: Although some programs insist that the order of abdominal exercise is the key to getting results, there is no research that backs this up. In fact, research shows that the opposite may be true. The principle of adaptation explains how our body constantly adapts to new training routines. Over time and with practice we become very efficient and master these techniques. If you continue to do the same exercise, in the same order in a few weeks or months the routine becomes ineffective and we hit a plateau. To break this cycle, modify your routines every 1-3 months. To modify your exercise routine, change one of more of the following:

• The Specific Exercises Performed
• The Number of Repetitions or Sets Performed
• The Order of the Exercises
• The Number of Exercises Done Each Session
• The Amount of Weight or Resistance Used
• The Speed, or Tempo of the Exercises
