Common Questions and Answers about Best ab workout without crunches

The best I can describe doing an ab workout is to pretend there is an apple under your chin and keep your eyes on the ceiling. Never push your chin into your chest- that is one way to strain your neck.
Otherwise, if you're doing it correctly, it's probably just that your neck needs to get used to having to hold up your head while you do the ab routine.
And be careful about many ab exercises, since many can cause back problems later on. In fact, most crunches work the lower back as hard as they do the abs, and all that twisting can be a strain. Not that anyone knows how to best work the abs, though, as far as I can tell. For six pack abs, quite frankly, most who have them don't get them through exercise -- it's a sure sign of steroid use, since the belly should have some fat.
How many crunches would be a good normal amount to lose weight. Also my Diet is really good but what about other excercises? I do crunches I have a five pound weighted ball that I lay on my back and I throw it up and catch it about 250-400 times twice daily I was doing too many crunches (up to 2000 daily) I do leg excersises and lifts and what not but very little is showing on the scale.
Jogging a mile every other day, crunches and some ab workout videos. Also started a plank challenge around the same time. After a few days, my stomach was sore to be expected but since then, I've been getting these weird stomach cramps that lasted a few days. All day yesterday, my stomach felt fine until I jogged a mile at lunch. About an hour later, my stomach feels tight right under my navel and there is this consistent dull ache.
If your a healthy weight range, and your already eating healthy and active, it's natural for women to have some fat reserves on their legs, otherwise your bones or period can be severely or permanently affected. This is really important if your still growing.
For strength and toning, inner leg lifs, squats, lunges would be good. leg press, hamstring machiens at gym might be ok...
Strong abdominal muscles without a strong back pose a higher risk of back issues than having weak ab muscles. Every ab workout should include back exercises. Some ab exercises already engage back muscles such as planks or Pilates. Exercises that target the back include the lumbar extension, which involves laying prone on the floor or a ball, and lifting your head and shoulders by using your back muscles. You can have your hands on the floor or ball for support, but don't use them to push.
Was burning 500 cals on threadmill and was was doing doing some weight training like biceps, wings, triceps, ab crunches, squats, planks over the 6 days along with cardio everyday. I had pain in my lower calf muscles and so I am sticking with the elliptical and burning 600 cals in elliptical. I aim at burning 450 cals each day on cardio and so hit 600 which i think the machine over-estimates. I believe 600 may equal to 450 actual. I was 175 lbs and have got to 162.
am 5 weeks 5 days and I was wanting to know if it is safe to continue light ab workouts 5 to 7.5 minutes a day. Things like crunches and sit ups.
before one can take up exercises that work specifically around the abdomen region like ab-crunches, leg lifts, side-crunches etc. You may like to join a gym or aerobics for the same. It is also essential to rotate between various exercise regimens like swimming, biking, jogging, aerobics etc. One must also understand that nothing works like magic and the toning may take a few months to be visible.
Hope this was useful.
Take care!
I started working out after my baby was around 5 months and it did NOT hurt at all. I ran 20 minutes, did 50-100 ab crunches a day and a few minutes of planks/pilates.
I also wore a post-natal belt for 5-6 hours a day since 3 months after my delivery and that helped tighten the ab muslces.
In short- NO pain when I finally started working out, but you have got to stay flexible throughout.
I have been doing crunches as part or my work out six days a week. My back can't lay flat so I do it on the bed. Am I making my back worse? It's really painful to do them on the floor. I have less back pain since I've started exercising regularly but when I skip a day my lower back hurts a lot(nerve problems).
It's not so much that situps and crunches don't work at all, but the thing is if you have a layer of fat covering your abs (b/c everyone, even those who are upwards of 300 or 400 lbs have 6 packs underneath the fat) you won't be able to see any definition. In order to tone your stomach so you can see some kind of definition or shrink your waistline somewhat, you really have to focus on cardio which burns more calories, which burns fat.

I have been trying to do some exercises since I hear that exercise tends to lighten up nausea/morning sickness. My stomach has been feeling sore (muscle wise -- like after an ab workout) I normally like to do bridges (lay on back then raise self up so only feel and hands are on the floor, stomach is in air) to relieve this type of pain, is it okay to do this during the first trimester?
Hello there! I'm looking to get toned stomach muscles and I want to know the best ab workouts?
