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 of 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 exercises.

Your workout has the added benifit benefit of creating a major boost to your self-esteem, when you've continue to do your set of repetitions and your body begins to achieve the shape that you're comfortable with, thats when you know your own hard work is paying off. It's all down to your discipline and determination to achieve your body goal.

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.
