how come its ok to workout abs everyday?

Question

dont u tear muscles when u work out, thats why u have to wait 48 hours... but why can u work out abs everyday?

Answer 1

The abs are a HUGE muscle group: upper abdominals, lower abdominals, lower back and obliques. It takes a lot of work to see results (unlike arms or shoulders), so I guess the damage doesn't happen as quickly.

Answer 2

the abdominal muscle is divided in 4 parts,
Transversus abdominus – the deepest muscle layer. Its main roles are to stabilise the trunk and maintain internal abdominal pressure.
Rectus abdominus – slung between the ribs and the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. This muscle has the characteristic bumps or bulges, when contracting, that are commonly called ‘the six pack’. The main function of the rectus abdominus is to move the body between the ribcage and the pelvis.
External oblique muscles – these are on each side of the rectus abdominus. The external oblique muscles allow the trunk to twist, but to the opposite side of whichever external oblique is contracting. For example, the right external oblique contracts to turn the body to the left.
Internal oblique muscles – these flank the rectus abdominus, and are located just inside the hip-bones. They operate in the opposite way to the external oblique muscles. For example, twisting the trunk to the left requires the left hand side internal oblique and the right hand side external oblique to contract together, so you can work either group on alternate days.

Answer 3

Its not... that is a myth that people without a good core go around spreading.
