Ab work is all about intensity. These are muscles that get worked a lot during the day and are comprised of fast twitch muscle fibers - they respond best to short intense workouts, rather than doing say 150 situps.
There is a great article in the general exercise forum on this that I'll dig up for you, it's by the ab-man himself, Shawn Phillips (Bill's handsome brother ) It took some practice, but I can honestly say that when I do 10 minutes of ab work it hurts to laugh the next day.
Back in a bit.
