Thread: Crunches questions

1: I do crunches on my bed, does it matter if I do crunches on my bed becasue it's not as hard as the ground?
2: I try to do 100 at once, I usually stop for a few seconds around 50-60, then continue to 100, is that ok?
3: Is it ok to do 100 at once?
4: If I feel any pain in my ab area, does it mean the crunches are definately working?

Also, I am 16, I way 65 kilograms (don't know pounds, we use kilos in Australia) and so far this year I have lost 15 kiols (I think that's quite alot of pounds).
How long would it take for my abs to come through? I can feel them under the fat, well I think I can feel them

I'm eating way less and healthier than what I use to and evry day I run around alot in my backyard.

Squeeze your abs up to crunch, don't' just lift your upper body.

At the top of the movement, blow all the air out of your stomach and flex your abs as hard as possible.

I try to squeeze them, never tried tried the 2nd thing you said, I will consider that.

Imo, doing weighted crunches would be much more beneficial than doing sets of 100 unweighted ones

What do you mean by "weighted" and "unweighted" crunches?

1 kilogram=2.2 lbs, so you lost 33 lbs. Good job

Thanks! Man I'm pretty happy with that, but I need to lose more to get the abs showing.
