The Marcus Schenkenberg WorkoutTen to fifteen minutes of cardio warm-up, and work different muscle groups each day: He works his abdominals every day: four sets of about forty crunches, in four different positions to work different muscle groups, during which he focuses on keeping his stomach sucked in, so the muscles don't develop bulged-out.
