Situps dont make you slim, cardio does. My routine is 20 mins of interval training on a treadmill or eliptical (you burn more fat this way and continue to burn it after you have stopped)

4 mins warm up then:

Do these 1 min sequences 5 times over

1 min as almost as fast as you can,

1 min cool down,

1 min as fast as you can

1 min cool down,

then 4/5 min cool down.

Then do situps to tone yourself. Its best to do 2 sets of these excercises.

20 reverse crunches - lower abs

20 straight leg raises - lower abs

20 slow motion situps - full ab work

20 seated balancing twists (with or without a 2kg/5lb medicine ball)

and as an additional option 2 x 100 crunches (you can use a crunch machine for this) Make sure you rest whenever you need to.

20 standard

20 with legs to left

20 with legs to right

20 with legs in the air

20 standard

How many situps do you have to do to burn 500 calories?

For a 160 pound person performing situps at a moderate rate, it will take a little less than 2 hours of continuous situps to burn 500 calories. It will take less time for people who weigh more and will take longer for those who weigh less. Situps are not a great exercise for burning calories, but they can strengthen your abdominal muscles well. Compare it to running at 8 miles per minute, where the same 160 pound person can burn almost 500 calories in only 30 minutes.
