∙ 2006-03-31 18:56:43Exercises that target specific muscle groups do not necessarily help you loose weight, but they do help you obtain muscle tone. To loose weight you have to do aerobic exercise, meaning that you have to use enough of your large muscle groups in moderate activity to cause a little shortness of breath but you should still be able to speak without panting. You need to maintain aerobic exercise for at least a half hour, but a full hour is better. That is the only way to reduce any kind of body fat. Sometimes abdominal muscles become lax and crunches can help tighten and pull in your abdomen, but it isn't getting rid of fat.

Not much, crunches are no big calorie burners. But the few calories burned depends on how your body is buildt, your age, your metabolism, how you preform the crunch and so on.
i am 14 years boy . please give steps to doing crunches . how many crunches i could do in a day and how many after my ap comes out ?
Crunches don't get a six pack. Changing your diet does. Six pack is a product of a low body fat percentage, not the amount of crunches you do. Eat a clean diet with daily calorie deficit, exercise and you'll do fine.
To burn 1 lbs., you would have to do about 70,000 crunches.
Depends on what type of body you have and what type of body you are looking for. If you are looking to get BIG, I would suggest lots of weight exercises (cable crunches, machine crunches, weighted leg raises, etc.), however if you want the six pack abs, stick to high repitions lower weight. Make sure that every rep you feel in every fiber of your upper and lower abs! Hope it helps!~Masonevery other day you should give a muscle at least a day of rest.
It all depends on your size, weight, and fat % If you are trying to build a six pack, and you already have a low body fat % I would recommend anywhere from 60-100 crunches a night.
Losing weight can be hard. If a person eats less, and exercises by doing crunches and running, they will lose some weight. The amount is dependent on how many calories they put in their body, and how many calories they burn.
it depends on how many crunches you do for the 10 minutes..but if you walk for 10 minutes you wil burn a lot more calories than you would doing crunches.
For my school athletics, I do the following crunches: 30 crunches, right elbow to left knee 30 crunches, left elbow to right knee 30 crunches, legs bent to the left 30 crunches, legs bent to the right. That adds up to 120 crunches. You could do many more, or even less. It really depends on how fit you are.
How many pounds you will lose if you did 1,000 crunches depends upon your age, gender and your start weight. It is said that it takes 250,000 crunches to burn 1 pound of fat.
