They help build muscle.
You have to exercise to lose inches.

no it does not.....it is a common myth.....doing crunches helps develop your abdominal muscles, that is all.......in order to lose inches around your waist, one must incorporate a muscle-building and cardiovascular fat-burning regimen....you must also cut down on high-glycemic index carbohydrates and increase your protein % consumption.....this will shift your body from retaining glycogen and increase your metabolism.....

Up to a point, but dieting with crunches will speed the process, and for a diet try the American whey diet.

no - it builds muscle, it doesnt burn any fat so it will only add inches to your waistline.
the only fat burning exercise is cardio 4-6 times a week for 30-50min
