I I do 100 crunches like once or twice a week. I seriously want to loose fat around my stomach and get abs. I'm not overweight or anything its just that I have extra fat around my stomach. How many crunches should I do? How much times should I do crunches in a week, day? How much weight will I be loosing doing crunches? How long will it take to get abs? Any other ab excercises? THANKSS

crunches burn ZERO fat.
You are building muscle...but to see it...you gotta burn some fat.
SO....keep doing crunches
and
start running. One hour a day, 4 days a week.
You will love what happens to your body.

I'd get a pilates ball and do the crunches on that...it's better for you and you'll see better results. I'd do about 100 4 or 5 times a week but add that to your other workouts. Ideally you should be exercising 45 minutes 4-5 times a day, you dont' start burning calories until about 30 minutes into a workout.

I read a lot of articles on losing weight on the tummy, and majority of the articles say that weight cannot be lost on a particular area. So if you have to loose weight, it has to be lost overall. Good amount of rest, lots of water, regular exercise of at least 30 minutes a day and healthy food. Try some weight training twice a week and you can add 3 sets of crunches at 15-18 reps a time.Best of luck

There are several ways to do crunches, be sure you're not exercising the same muscles each time. Vary your routine and you will see faster results. you will be much more cut and defined in a shorter time. Good Luck !

i think you should do 100 crunches everyday of the week for as long as it takes you to loose your fat,also do about 25 push-ups everyday you may not loose your fat you may just gain muscle,and muscle weighs more than fat.

Do a hundred a day. It helped with me, even if I don't really get a workout anymore . . . now I do ab excercise tapes and i have a pretty flat stomach.

You should also try to do 30 mins cardio 3 or 4 times a week to help burn fat.
Yoga is also brilliant as it defines the core.
Good luck :-)

how about spelling it "LOSE", then try dieting. crunches will not burn belly fat. the body doesn't pick where it burns fat from. if you do crunches, your body burns stored fuel (fat) from everywhere.
diet and exercise. you'll lose fat from all over your body. there's no spot reduction aside from surgery.
