Does crunches abs work am female and i have a belly but some say that crunches don't work what should i do to get a flat stomach?
It's not that crunches don't work, it's that they won't get you a flat stomach. What you want is to do cardio. Anything that gets your body moving and your heart rate up will help you lose fat. When you do lose the fat around your stomach you will see the results of the crunches (muscle definition).
