How effective are crunches at burning stomach fat/getting rid of love handles, and also at building muscles?
there is no possible way to lose fat in certain areasI personally love crunches for abs though
push crunches are best
>>120620explain
Yes, please do explain.
>>120625>>120623>>120620I third this notion
>>120635And I forth them. (does it work like that?)
>>120642I would imagine that would be hard on your back
>>120648yes, exercise is hard on the part of the body you're working

russian twists. lie on decline bench, hold weight in outstretched hands.list torso above horizontal and rotate torso back and forth until you can't hold yourself up.
How often can you safely work your core? Is every day okay?
>>120659no, at least a day rest, that's the rule for every workout.Reason: Your body needs time to regenerate.
ITT: Idiots
>>120659I actually only work it twice a week, on Monday and Friday. But I make sure to kick its ass on those days.
>>120642that looks like a pretty cool exercise, works abs and also all the stabilizers in your arms.
Fucking idiots. You cannot target-burn fat. Doing crunches doesn't burn fat around your stomach.
Yes, doing crunches will NOT burn any fat around your stomach, it will just work out the abs but you won't see that cause of the layers of fat.You need to do cardio, simple as that.Cardio will burn the fat
i do crunches while also raising my legs (donno how that iz called). works good lower and upper abs are involved
>>120648so i heard in this thread that you can target fat reduction to your stomach
No sir, I do not know how to do astrally project oneself while doing a crunch. I believe this question would be better suited to the paranormal board.
i guess to sum up an answer for this guy...no you cant burn fat doing crunches, so its not effective. will it build muscle? only if you use weight.
