My wife and I have started working out to lose some weight. I enjoy lifting weights more so I concentrate on that and occasionally throw in some cardio (tm and bike). My wife is the opposite so she's running and doing ab exercises. I see the running helping but I think at this point the time she spends on doing the ab exercises would be better spent on doing more cardio or other exercises that work the larger muscle groups. I know it's never bad to work on your core but aren't your abs just too small of a muscle group to contribute very much to burning calories?
Instead of doing just these I told her it'll be much more beneficial to do squats, lunges, and dead lifts. Am I right or am I giving her bad advice?
