What's The Best Abs Exercise?
The best ab exercise is not an exercise at all. If you'd like 6 pack abs (and most of you do) you'll need to stick with an extremely healthy, low fat diet. Once you get your body fat percentage to about 10% for men and 15% for women, any ab exercise will help your abs come out!

HOW MANY REPS SHOULD I DO IN THE GYM??
Good question. Lots of people who make it to the gym find themselves unsure of how many reps, exercises, and weights to use. Let's talk about REPS here.
REPS are short for 'repetition'. If you do a Bicep Curl 10 times, you just did 10 'reps'.
So how many reps should you do? Let's answer that question 4 ways:
1. If you are a beginner, pick a weight that allows you to comfortably do 20 reps.
2. For a high caloric burn workout, 15 or more reps is suggested.
3. For muscle toning (hypertrophy) and general fitness, perform 8-12 reps.
4. Strictly looking for strength? You just need 1-6 reps. Be careful and always consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.

How many Exercises should you do? Let's answer that question 4 ways:
1. If you are a beginner, just stick with 8-10 exercises.
2. For a high caloric burn workout, try 10-15 exercises with high reps (15+).
3. For muscle toning (hypertrophy) and general fitness, again, 8-10 exercises, but these should be body part specific.
4. Strictly looking for strength? You'll just need to do 3-5 exercises, but you'll have to use heavy weight and perform 5 sets of just 1-6 reps. Be careful and always consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
