While you may have been lead to believe that you need to do thousands of sit-ups each day in order to get your abs, I am here to tell you that this is not the case. And if you believe that abs are the hardest muscle to develop, then I have great news for you: that is a myth as well!
Remember that getting abs is a two step process:
First, burn off enough body fat via diet and cardiovascular exercise. Once you reach 10% body fat if you are a guy or 12% if you are a female, then you will be able to see your abs.
Second, train the abs with direct abdominal exercises in order to harden up your muscles. In that manner, once the abdominal fat is burned off, you will have a tight looking midsection to display.
With that said, there is no need to spend hours each day just training the abs. Ten minutes a day three times a week will suffice.
