    You are going to get answers that say "abs are made in the kitchen!" or "Calorie Deficit!" however abdominal work is important because your abs are your core and they support your back, help you get out of a chair, sit up in bed etc. so there's no reason why you shouldn't work them.

    With that said, I personally do isolation ab exercises every other day (on the "other" day I do legs) and I do different exercises on ab day to mix it up. The cardio that I do 4 days a week incorporates a lot of core work as well but for isolation I specifically work my abs 2 - 3 days a week.

    Train them specifically 1 time a week. The rest is done with compound exercises and kickboxing.
