What is ..

Post by Shannan »

The ideal amount of reps one should do for tummy exercises? I was thinking of doing crunches and situps on a daily basis, but am not sure how many I should do to start off with. Also, are situps/crunches a good idea or are there more effective home exercises for the tummy?

I found running more effective on my "tummy" personally...

Cardio will get rid of the fat, the reps will help define the muscle with in the abs..

20 - 25 is usually good - more than that and form tends to suffer
