Do crunches work?

okay, so I have a bit of a tummy.. would doing like 100 crunches a day help???

I also heard that crunches are better than push-ups… is that true?

Answer #1

Crunches only work your upper abs to where you get a small 4 pack at best. You will only tighten that area after exercising so while just sitting around keep flexing your abs all day so you get use to tightening them up at a regular basis and not “pooching out”. And of course the obvious, which is to lose some weight…

Answer #2

I dont know if crunches are better than push ups.. but make sure your breathing is right whilst doing the crunches, the wrong breathing can make people look pregnant. go to a gym or something and ask one of th wokers what would be the best way to tone you tummy. and if youd like get them to demonstate.

good luck. from naomi.
