how many calories am i burning by doing crunches?

Question

a 5'10" female, approx 230 lbs, eating around 1100 calories a day?

Answer 1

start eating more - otherwise all you will lose is water weight and muscle not fat and slow down your metabolism
crunches do not burn fat - they only build muscle and will make your belly look bigger
the only fat burning exercise is cardio - burns fat all over your body - you cant spot reduce body fat
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 3

150 crunches burns approx 25 calories. I got an ab cruncher and it counts calories and time spent. It's worth the money and it ensures that you are doing your exercises properly.

Hope this helps........
