Comments on: Why crunches won’t give you flat abs, and will hurt your body

You have a good point there! I have been doing crunches for a long time but I also experience back pains. Hhmm this is interesting. I have never tried plank exercises before but it might work. During workouts, I personally recommend a Berlei sports bra because it gives a very good breast compression and the straps won’t hurt your shoulders. You should try it yourself! Great blog, by the way. Love the info…

@Sonny, abs are not 100% diet! I’ve been extremely skinny and had zero hint of abs visible, but when I was fuller (had more fat) but worked out, I had some definition.

Although you need to lose body fat for visible abs, you still need to work them out to actually have abs to see!

Planks are even more useless..it belongs in the junk heap of useless exercises for showing abs right alongside crunches and cardio..its 100% diet..PERIOD!

As I always tell me clients, ab training is more for stability then high reps. High reps will simply compress your spine. If you can do more than 10-20 reps, the exercise is too easy and simply becomes repetitive movement. Crunches, when done slowly, in a controlled and focused way, are just fine when combined with other exercises.
