How much of how many sets of crunches should I do?

Question

Im 13 years old right now and I want people to see my abs more clearly (You can see them but not clear enough) Anyways what are some ways to make my abs more visible besides crunches/sit ups? Also which is better for the abs, Crunches or Sit Ups? And how much of each set should I do to make my abs more visible? Ex. Do 5 Sets of 50 or more? What do you think is the maximum I should go for? And I walk home everyday from school (half hour) for my cardio part.

Anyways also how many sets should I do in 1 day? right now all I'm doing per day is 5 sets of 50 in a row with like a minute break in between each set, should I do them all at once? or do like 1 set on a certain hour then the next set on another. Also should I do more sets or am I fine right now?

Answer 1

My twin brother is 13 and he does that EVER SINGLE day and he makes ME do it too. Both crunches and situps are good so if you do 5 sets of 50 then you should do 125 situps and 125 crunches. But you need to take a longer break, how about 2 minutes? Your body is in a growing process so dont overdo it. It is NOT good. Some other ways you could tone them is taking a kickboxing/ tai kwon doe class. Or you could run up flights of stairs ( 6 at most, or maybe 5, or maybe even 4) There are plenty of ways. Be creative dude. Youre doing good, and you slould stay at what youre doing. I hope i answered all your questions of not, then sorry!

Answer 2

the quality of your repetitions is far more important the the quantity of them. 100-150 reps of various abdominal exercises is more than enough to perform in one day. you only need to train the abs 2-3x a week. you need to focus on your diet and reducing sugar and eating more whole foods.

great abs are made in the kitchen

Answer 3

You're doing fine right now, all you need is time, you can't get instant results. And perhaps a little more patience.
