Wake up your abs!!

How much muscle would you expect to build in your arms if you always did sets of 20 reps using a weight with which you could easily do 100 reps? The point is, unless you challenge your muscles through resistance that overloads them, they will not get stronger; your abs are no different. They have to be challenged and pushed to the limit to build quality muscle.

There are numerous ab exercises that you can use to and more resistance and weight training to your ab workout. Holding a dumbbell at your side, while bending side ways can strengthen the obliques(side/love handles). Reverse crunches can also help add more variety and resistance to your ab workout. 

Get creative. Put weight training into your ab workouts.
