crunches how long before ...?

if you have a layer of fat over your abs you will not see any benefits unfortunately. You could have really strong abs but with the fat you wont see any of the benefits, so fat burning exercises need to be done also. Do abs 4-5 times a week, look on youtube for some great core workouts. But even after a couple of weeks you can start to feel your core is becoming stronger

edit; lol you wont get washboard abs like on the video but that gives you an idea of what you need to do to develop the muscles in the core but they need to be done effectively to actually make any difference

edit;make sure you eat plenty of protein to help build your muscles back up, as you get stronger just increase the intensity each week. Write down a plan as you are more likely to stick to it then you can add on as the exercises become easier

many people believe that to get your abs tone one needs to do lots of crunches or sit-ups. However, cardio is the answer to your problem. all it takes is 30 minutes of cardio a day (running, aerobics, lipticol machine, bike etc.) i have recently found that crossfit is a great way to get tone. Crossfit is intnse and it cancetrates your core mussles, which will improve your overall fitness. If you a can combine both cardio and weight trainning along with good eating habits you will see great resaults, as long as you can stick with it all. if you are interested in checking crossfit, google different sites to see how it works.

about 2 months or 3

i would suggest doing more

unless there is some serious reason

when i was overweight i started doing 100 crunches a night so id bring that number up to at least 75

as for squats 10 wont do much so id increase that to three sets of 12

just my opinion though

unless your muscles are burning and tired afterwards your not going to see much results quickly

If you do the same thing everyday you will not get tone fast you have to do different toning exercises every day. running helps. and when you are walking around the house tighten your abs like someone is about to hit your stomach, that helps alot, do jacknifes good luck :)

If you are consistant, you should see results within the first month

if u pay close attention to it like i do, it'll seem like forever. do the exercise u kno u gta do and have fun while doing it by blasting your fave music or something. check urself out every couple wks and u'll realize that its paying off.

A few months, in time for the summer.

crunches are not the whole answer you should do more cardio like running or swimming that will rip up those abs
