Crunch or Sit Up: The Best Fitness Exercise Ever?

This is the one exercise I've managed to do, on and off through the years, with or without the help of expensive gym membership. Just drop to the floor get into a comfortable positions, tuck the end of my feet under the couch and go.

First off all I must point out that it's not just the exercise that you do, you also need to examine your eating habits.

Are you eating the right foods?
Is what you're eating giving you energy or just leaving another deposit of fat on your body?

Also, your age and your current level of fitness is always going help to determine your level of performance and your body's metabolism, which is how your body breaks down what you eat and keeps you going.

Its kind of like the fireman stoking the engine on an old locomotive with coal to increase or continue the trains speed along the tracks..

Now back to the exercise

Do it for yourself and for what you will gain from having completed a workout.

This has the benefit of creating a major boost to your self-esteem, when you've managed to do the workouts and feel you begin to achieve the shape that you're comfortable with. And it's all down to your decision, determination and will power to succeed.

Whether or not you have a partner, everyone will be impressed by how you look and will see that you take care of your yourself. But more importantly you're working the core of your body, which is what keeps you flexible, moving, standing and performing.

Train with me, as I work out to a programme of exercise, which I intend to carryout on alternate days for the next 3 months or until I achieve my desired shape.

How many crunches do you need to be doing? Well I guess you can keep going until you're doubled up in pain and can't get up off the floor. But realistically, I'm staring out with just 35 to 40 repetitions, of slow crunches.

You need to do this fitness exercise at whatever level or consistency you can manage, but once it starts to hurt a, you know you're entering the zone.
