How many times a week should I do ab exercises? I do weight-training 3 times a week and aerobics on all my days off but one a week. (that is since I walk for work. So this week work Monday, ex Tues, work Wed, ex Thurs, work 2 hours Friday is rest day, ex Sat and Sun). Anyway sometimes I do my stomach and back crunches probably 6 times a week, although I never count. I use an exercise ball. I had neck problems in the past as I was doing about 600 crunches a day- reason being that Britney Spears did 1000. PT said that was too many and I had to lay off to not hurt my neck. Now I do 30 regular and 30 side to side and upping it very gradually. The exercise ball makes them really count! Anyway does anyone know the recommended times per week?
