How often should you work out?
Medic aka Rocko:
Here's another thought. Have you ever known anyone who works at a labor intensive job? I've known a few guys who are very muscular yet don't go to the gym or workout. Their job is their workout. They are "working out" for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Maybe the intensity isn't the same, but the results can be impressive.
Anyone ever buck bales on the farm?

Great point Medic! This falls into the area I was getting ready to write four more paragraphs. Basically it is easier for the body to recover from a slow, steady and long workout. Compare quick workouts weights or plyometrics the muscles suffer massive amounts of damage in a short period which provides great muscle development in the long run, but require much more recovery time.

12 oz curls work well, and get lighter with every rep. although they don't do much for the abs. hahaha
Tyler:
The Abs Diet book that I'm using states that you should give 48 hours rest to major muscle groups for a time of recovery. One of the things it mentions is that unless you are already in shape or have a fairly defined look, you should not focus on smaller muscle groups, but rather focus on the major groups - Chest, Back, and Legs. The reason behind this is tha tthese areas will build muscle faster. The more muscle you build, the more fat you burn.
