Advice: You should not work your abs every day. Your abs are just like any other muscle group if you are working them to exhaustion (which is the best way to develop muscle tone), they’ll need about 48 hours of recovery time between workouts.

Extra: When doing pumping, wide-grip give you best exercise for creating the "V" shape.
