I perform ab exercises every day (along with back-bridges) and it seems to me that the abs and other 'core' muscles recover at a far greater rate than any other ones. As such, it becomes possible to exercise them four days a week, using the remaining days for a short rest period.
I was mindful of the fact, however, that by doing ab exercises without the backbridges I was potentially overpowering my abs relative to my back, which would (I've heard) lead to back injuries. For this reason, for every 2 mins I spend doing a set of abs, I spend 1 min doing a concentrated back bridge a la Furey.
Solid
PS: Re: Pushups- Perhaps doing dumbell lifts while lying on a swiss ball would work the supporting muscles and core as much as pushups, but with greater-than-body weight?
