Here's a general philosophy for constructing a workout.
There are 3 major Training Techniques: Straight Sets, Super Sets, and Circuits.
Straight Sets are a technique in which you pick an ab exercise and perform 2-3 sets of that exercise before moving on to the next ab exercise.
Example: crunches, rest, crunches, rest, crunches, rest, then plank, rest, plank, rest plank, done!
And, one of my best ab workouts ever was a straight set ab workout.
The Super Set technique uses two exercises in combination. You perform the first ab exercise, and then move immediately to the second ab exercise with no rest.
After you complete the second ab exercise rest, before repeating the sequence again.
Example: crunches, plank, rest, crunches, plank, rest, crunches, plank, rest.
The Super Set Technique is an advanced technique and it can really increase the challenge of your core workout.
The Circuit Technique uses three or more ab exercises in a row. You would perform the first, second, and third ab exercise, and so on in a row without any rest.
After you complete all of the ab exercises in the circuit you would rest before repeating the circuit.
Example: crunches, plank, bicycle crunches, reverse crunches, oblique crunches, rest� repeat from the beginning.
The Circuit Technique is also an advanced technique, and some of the best abdominal workouts are circuits.
