Re: Question

Got it. I got another question.
Would it be a good idea to do ab exercises everyday? For example, 400 sit-ups Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun...divide the 400 reps into 4-6 sets. I don't just do regular sit-ups, I do variations of sit-ups. And on Tues/Thurs do 3 sets of 50 reps crunches with weight. Does this sound like a good idea?
I say 400 reps because I was told that doing 400 sit-ups a day is a good way to strengthen your abs. I was told to do 100 in the morning, 200 in the afternoon, and 100 at night. I do 400 at afternoon or night, but I rest 15 minutes between each set, unless I'm doing a 10 push-up, 40 sit-ups workout, where I do 10 psuh-ups, 40 sit-ups consecutively 8 times. And what about the pull-ups, should I be doing them everday, or every other day?
I am looking to strengthen my abs. And I know the lifting part isn't going to help me in boot camp, but I still want to do it.
Thanks, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
