whenever a person begins an exercise program it's important they have been cleared by their primary health care provider to do so and also that they learn to perform exercises using correct form. incorrect form can cause serious injury. the pain you experienced in your abdomen while doing an ab workout could be a result of something simple (like a strained muscle) or something more serious (like a hernia). if the pain doesn't clear up or if it gets worse or if you feel a bulge in your groin area or if you develop a fever over 101f you should seek medical attention. on the other hand if the pain was momentary and you haven't had any problems since the incident then you may be safe to take a wait-and-see attitude about this. hope this helps!
