The correct way to do crunches.?

When doing crunches you should be on a mat to halp prevent pressure, roll your back up slowly as you pull your stomach in (think of it as like pulling your belly button towards your spine). Make sure that you arent twisting your back when doing this motion.Sometimes doing crunches can put pressure on someones spine, if you are having this problem I reccomend doing alternative exercises to work your abs. There are different machines that are off the ground and prevent a back injury. You may also want to see a trainer for assistance on proper exercises if you are having an injury problem or physical limitations.

lay flat on your back, with your hands palm down at your side, put your legs together and lift them off the ground about 6 inches for as long as u can stand it.  this helps to work the lower (harder to tone) abs.

It's a waste of money. I say that because you don't put much weight behind your crunches. You should be able to crunch your own weight to get the most effect out of them. Otherwise what's the point. Put a mat on the floor and your feet under your couch. Cheapest way to go, and I have great abs.

Do variations of ab workouts, not just crunches. Include a good work-out regime and suck in your stomach and stand tall.

Repetitions, don't try to max out when lifting weights ( lift less weight more times )... do 100 crunches in the morning and 100 crunches before bed... crunches do better than sit-ups.

Easy. Cardiovascular excercise. If you want to shift that weight - try running. Buy yourself a treadmill! It's the best investment you'll make. \n\nLeave the weights (including the crunches) till later on.

Your ab muscles are no different than the other muscles in your body. They need time to recover from exercise. For maximum results, don't work them everyday. Every other day is best.\n\nIf you are trying to get your "six-pack", crunches are not the way to go. Everyone has a six-pack, but for most people, a layer of fat covers it. Even though you have a flat stomach, you probably still have just enough body fat to cover them up. It is important to eat properly and exercise to burn this fat.

you should space your crunches out to 50 every four hours that way you are constantly working them to tone them just doing 200 once will get results but by te time you do more the effects of the first set will have worn off start with 50 every 4 hours then go to 100 every 6 hours and move up until your doing about 100 a day i got great results

Lie on your side, then prop yourself up on an elbow also raising your hips up.  put your other hand behind your head and do kind of a sideways crunch.\nsteps: (simpler)\n1. lie on side. then prop up on fore-arm and raise hips up as high as you can get them.\n2. put ohter hand behind head\n3. crunch down slowly\n\nonly do about 5 at a time they are very effective

push ups (all the different ways to do them), crunches, sit ups, tri-cep dips, the plank for abs, bycicle crunches, leg lifts, leg pop ups, ab throws, chin ups..\n\nfor the leg lifts/leg pop ups you lay on your back with your hands underneath your loweback and you use your abs to lift your legs up to a 90 degree angle and then you slowly lower them back down and then repeat. don't let your legs hit the floor in between. it really squeezes your abs. do as many reps are you can.\n\nrunning really helps to burn fat off your bodyso that your muscles are not covered.

The best way is to do crunches. Start out with like 20-40 a day. Slowly work your way up to about a 100-120 a day. It will work. That's what I did. works wonders.

Try doing crunches from a sitting position, in a straight backed chair. You get the same results, with much less discomfort to your back. You just need to pull your knees up toward you and let them down slowly. It works wonders!

start doing crunches.  And do them different ways, i.e., lay on your side and have your head looking up at the ceiling, the normal way, and don't forget to work on your lower abdomen by laying flat and lifting your legs up.  You need to start with an amount that you can handle, until your stomach muscles are screaming, then roll over and lay on your stomach and lift your upper body off the floor arching your back to stretch them out for a smidge.  Work your way up to about 100-200 a day.  You'll be looking good in no time.

There's a couple of levels to this; for your "front" abs, crunches and sit ups are a good base, but it's really important to also do exercises that isolate your "oblique" abs.  There the muscles on either side of your six-pack.  A crunch-twist will work your obliques, and a side crunch works well also.  A crunch-twist is exactly that; do a standard crunch, then twist to one side, squeezing your rib cage towards your hip bone.  A side crunch is a crunch from your side.  Lay on your side with your hands behind your head, and lift your torso straight up towards your hip.  Also bicycles are great too.  on your back, both legs in the air at a 90 degree angle, and lower one leg towards the floor.  With your hands behind your head, lift the same elbow towards the other knee.  Then do the other side.  The works your lower abs as well.  but my favorite abs exercise are planks.  From your stomach, lift your arms straight up like you have done a single push-up.  Hold that position with your body perfectly straight.  This is a great abs workout, and ot also works out your shoulders and arms.
