Overtraining Abs

[SouthWind]

The gym at my college offers a class called ab attack the 5 days a week we're in school for about 35-40 minutes. We also have to do a warm up ab workout in my weight lifting class; 25 Sit Ups, 25 Crunches, 32 of those alternating leg to elbow whatchamucallits. I'm plaining on running a couple of days a week to get back in soccer shape, so I know I'll be able to get a good pack back. What I want to know is if this would be overtraining the abs? I didn't think it would be because I'd doing reps for tone not to make them neccessarily stronger. I was planning on at least going to this class the other three days I'm not in the weight class doing the light ab workout, but I wanted to get ya'lls opinion.

I think it depends on your condition. I mean, 25 sit-ups and 25 crunches is like my daily workout for abs, doing abs exercises for 35-40 minutes would kill me. I'd suggest you to try this once, and if you can bear it and you feel results - stick with it, but for me that much time spent on abs would only exhaust me
