how many crunches or sittups should i do a day to get a six pack?

Answer 1

Depends on the invividual but you need to alter your workout

Variety of exercise is the key I have found. For example..an exercise called Mountain Climbers. Its from a workout that also contains a section for females and males which is excellent.

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position
and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are
moving in under your chest and then back out to starting
position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on
the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in
addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full
body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before
starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after
completing each "tri-set" before repeating.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you've ever had
without even doing any direct ab exercises. You'll see what I
mean after you try it!

Once you get away from the myth that a 1000 crunches and 500 situps a day is all you need to do for great abs, then amazing results can be seen.

There is a completely free 65 page ebook about exercise, nutrition, abs and stomaches in particular at http://www.absbomb.com that you can download (no catch!) and it is excellent.

It helped me greatly.

Answer 2

just go for a 3, 4, 5 mile run and then do ten minutes straight of crunches like five or six times a week

Answer 3

More to the point, what do you eat & how much cardio do you do? I do 100 crunches or sit ups, whichever im in the mood for, but dropping body fat & watching what you eat are far more important if you want the 6 pack.

Answer 4

As many as you like before you go for a run.

You already have a six pack. It's just hidden under body fat. The only way to get yours to show is to reduce body fat (okay, and you can do as many ab exercises as you like), and that means cardiovascular exertion. If you aren't lean, nobody'll see 'em.

Answer 5

you shouldnt be hitting your abs everyday, or else your wont be giving them a chance to heal. dont go by number of situp. i would say do 15 min of abs 3 or 4 days a week. add some cardio and bam jay cutler status. lol im jp but for real, thats what i reccomend.
