I started doing 50 crunches everyday. About how long will I start seeing resuts?


Question:


Answers:
From my short experience 50 crunches are not enough.

You need to do at least 3 types of abdominal exercises (crunches are for upper abs), a good rule could be lower, middle, and upper abs.

About the reps, 50 is a way to start, but unless you can't do at least 100 in a row, I guess you are just fooling around. So 300 is a way to start and 900 (300 each in series of 100) is a good maintenance amount.

Abs is the main goal but the waist is a fat supply for the abs, so do something for the waist too.

And finally, diet is absolutely necessary to bring those abs out, if you don't do a good diet (very low fat one) your abs will be strong enough, big enough and well shaped but. you will never see them, just feel them under the fat of your tummy.

up it to 100 in the morning and 100 before bed, results 1 month

dont do cruches the give you stretch marks.try to find a machine.. 4 to 6 weeks are you doing any cardio as well?


That will depend on your body type & diet.
Aprox. 4 -6 weeks


Depends on the rest of your diet as well. If you aren't eating well you likely wont see a change at all. Your abs will feel stronger, but you wont see much of a physical improvement unless you are actually burning the calories and keeping em away. Fifty is probably not enough to see real results.


it depends on wht you eat and the body you have currently.In one month you will see results if u eat healthy. If your chubby you become somewht skinny and then if your normal, you get some packs i think.


you should do more than 50 crunches a day (do it twice a day, morning and night) and also i recommend do push ups and cardio

Depends on genes- and the amount of body fat you currently have. You won't see any muscel tone unless you lose most of the fat on your body/stomach. a couple of weeks but it really depends on how much of a gut you have and what your diet is like.


You cant expect anything from doing crunches.


Get your *** up and go to them gym!


Physically depends on the person
Emotionally nothing better for a sense of wellness than acts of positive intention
Mentally staying focused and directive immediate


do you do any cardio? You would have to burn calories to lose the fat that's on top of your abs for them to show. Please read the recommendations below. Also, go to the book store and locate the book "Weight Training for Dummies". In chapter 15 you will find excellent information on how to perform abdominal exercises correctly. Page 218 of the book dispels all the myths surrounding abdominal training.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
