Is this a good abdominal workout ?

[Rooster13]

Plank (60 seconds)
Left side plank (45 seconds)
Right side plank (45 seconds)
Reverse crunches 20 reps
Obliques 20 reps each side
medicine ball passovers 20 reps
Bicycle 20 reps
Leg raises - 20 reps
Mountain climbers - 20 reps
Rest 60-120 seconds
Repeat this for 3 times ... is this enough ? any other suggestions ?

Yeah! Dude, you have a really good ab workout! You have good enough reps for each where you don't tire yourself too much if your going to do this 3 times.

Do one set of higher reps not multiple sets. It will be more effective and you can get rid of some exercises like you don't need multiple planks, reverse crunches or mountain climbers. Pro Bodybuilders do not do that many ab exercises and they are on Steroids. That's because you are way overworking your muscles right now with that routine.

Excellent.

Unrelated, but don't forget to up your protein so your muscle is fed.

[Mortal Coil]

That's good for developing your ab muscles, but they won't show until you get rid of any subcutaneous fat that's covering them. Remember that.

That's great, but remember you won't see your abs till about 10% body fat

[shani]

that is really good for ab muscles

[Zenos]

AS much as most people do not like this idea you can blitz and bomb the abs all you want,and not get much results,you really lower the fat you have to watch what you eat and also exercsie the bigger muscles of the body!

[Human]

Yep great but you're gonna need a good diet

[techgeek]

sounds like a good one to me

[Nellerin]

I changed my previous response, no you are overworking abs with that routine. I have been learning more and more about fitness and am on my way to Personal Trainer status right now. Doing that many sets and exercises for abs is something even a steroid user would not do so a natty def doesn't need that much.
