How to Do Crunches

Sit-ups and crunches are great ways to exercise your abdominal muscles. Sit-ups require you to raise yourself all the way up, while crunches require only a slight lift off the ground. Crunches put less strain on your spine, so it might be easier to start with them.

Lying flat on your back, come up nice and slow, pulling your abs in. Then lower yourself back down.

A few keys to remember:

· Progress gradually. Don’t try to do too much too soon. Listen to your body. When you need a rest, rest.

· A solid program must train both the upper and lower body.

· Know why you are performing each exercise. Set goals and lift weights because you want to, not because someone wants you to.

· Always breathe during a repetition and go through a full range of motion.

· Always consult with your family doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

    awesome

  21. Lose weight How did you get a six pack? I am jelous of my cousin having one.

  22. as for number of reps and sets you should do, it all depends.

    because this is a bodyweight work out, everyone will vary.

    you should continue to crunch until you feel a burn, then keep going. keep pushing yourself until you cant physically do anymore. this is called muscle failure.

    wait a minute, then do it all over again. twice.

    trust me, after a while, you’ll start to see results.

  23. how many repititions should you do

    To adress some of the questions, working out with intensive weights is a great way to build muscle, but not necessarily loose weight. If your goal is to turn fat into muscle, and loose no more than three pounds, this is the type of exercise for you, but if your main goal is weight loss (5-25 pounds), you need to look into running or track programs.

    If this video won’t start, open, or even be shown on your computer, there is really nothing you can do. What it means is that the movies require a certain software to be shown that your machine is lacking. The computer may ask you if it is okay to download the softwear for free, but you need to say no. Many free downloadable softwares have computer viruses that will make your machine function very poorly. If you really want to see one of these videos, you can ask your parents is safe and downloadable software is availible.

    Hopefully this will answer some of the popular questions. I throughly enjoyed this video!

  29. Awesome plans for workouts

  30. ok if you do these work outs corectly they will make you GAIN wait in mucle not loose wieght but you will burn calories and some fat. good luck

  31. who ever keeps saying “yay this will help me lose wight!”

    wrong

    this will help you gain wieght, in muscle. not fat.

    if you want to LOSE fat you need to do cardio work outs (running, biking, anything that gets your hear beat going)

    thought i’d clear that up..

  32. all the workout videos on this site truly WORK they buld MUSCLE
