It depends on how you go about doing it and what exactly you hope to achieve. Any more specific answers you get to this exact set of info will be limited at best one way to do it

MeanGene February 24, 2010 at 20:21: Depends on what type of core training your talking about. If your talking sit-up’s and crunches you can do that everyday if you want. If your talking Advance training like kettle/medicine ball, TRX, or cross-fit core training it’s recommended you should do it only twice a week.
