question about abs workout
| Tue, 02-22-2005 - 1:47pm |
I was just wondering about something. I notice that I rarely if ever have sore abs after my workouts. Yet almost all my other muscles are just aching for days. I do a sculpt class twice a week in which abs are part of the workout and i truely put everything into it and I feel the burn as i am doing them but afterwards no post workout ache. Do you think i am working them hard enough? Do you need to feel them afterwards to know you challenged them? Just curious about this. I do a small ab workout on the other three days on my own. I have to be careful with some moves as i have a bad back but otherwise i feel i do challenge them. I remember when i first started working out my abs were killing me and i haven't felt that in a long time..what's up? Suzanne

I would say to try some new exercises. Try a plank and challenge yourself to hold them longer each time. Or Pilates. I don't do Pilates very often and when I do do them, I HURT. Also, are you keeping your abs tight while doing cardio and other sculpting moves?
Hope that helps!
Jean,
you could be working them well and they just don't get sore. i usually don't get sore anywhere unless i do something new for the first time, or the first time in a long time. maybe it's time to change up your ab exercises and do something a bit different. but in general, if you feel it when you are working them, it doesn't matter whether you are sore later or not.
