how many crunches?

Question

how many crunches should i do to start reducing some of my belly fat?

Answer 1

Doing crunches will not help you lose much weight. There is no such thing as spot reducing. Spot reducing is the incorrect theory that to lose fat in one particular area you must exercise that area. To lose fat, you should do a full body routine, or you could focus on fat burning exercises, like running, swimming, or jumping rope. If you do 1,000 crunches a day, you won't lose the fat you want to lose, but your stomach muscles will look great underneath that layer of fat. Once you do lose the weight, then you will see those muscles. Good luck.

Answer 2

Try 15 reps and 2 sets for 4 days and 3 days off.First off with slow crunch then last set,fast crunch.After 2 or 3 wks later,increase your reps to 30 and 4 sets.You should feel burn on stomach which mean good sign burn fat.

Answer 3

none. crunches build muscle, they dont burn fat.
the only fat burning exercise is cardio, do it 4-6 times a week for 30-50min and combine with light weight training to not lose any muscle (more muscle=faster metabolism)
