Health and Exercise Tips - Ab Crunches

[CrossfitRJG]

Nice Stuff! Check my page i just made a new Pull up VIDEO!

[nelsonchris99]

looks fun :)

[catfaceshumaker]

people really got fuked over doing curl ups lol

[TheNitricOxide]

Nice job on the video looks good. When you have time come visit my channel!

[pisssssssed]

When I did my crunches I kept my feet under something. I didnt realise I was doing it wrong untill I tried it this way and it felt so much better on my stomach like it was actually getting more toned.

[LastXdeth]

@pisssssssed If you're using something to hold your feet, then you're doing sit-ups, not crunches.

[pisssssssed]

@LastXdeth What the difference? Like seriously...

[LastXdeth]

@pisssssssed You shouldn't need someone to hold your feet when you're doing crunches because crunches only utilizes your abdominal muscles while tradiational sit-ups use your ab muscle and hip flexors.

[kosamaofficial]

very helpful video

[mgil479]

Now let's have the trainer get on top of him and see some real action workout!!

[JUNGLEE87]

can u please help me

my sternocleidomastoid muscles (muscles of neck) they get fatigued when i do crunches...

am i doing it the right way ? is this normal or am i stressing my neck ?

[oliviaolas]

I need to learn to do proper crunches. I dont think I am why I still h doing them right and thats why I have belly flab and not a firm stomach. So frustrating but these videos do help/. 

[timhaig10]

Erm... Why aren't you in the kitchen?

[xbabeepink]

they make it look so easy.

[SimpleSixPackSecrets]

Amazing how many people were doing their crunches wrong! O well... no excuses now eh!

[nictophobia1]

By reading the comments i have decided not to imply this Technique, everyone complaining of back pain morons!

[CapoPlasencio]

Maybe im doing them wrong??

Is your back supose to hurt???

[Hanspeterdervierte]

I got this prob too.

I think you have to "erase" your hollow back ( im not sooo good in english;))

I did this mistake at first too. I tried today to not have an hollow back and it works fine.

Only my neck is after 25-30 repeats slightly strained.

[weilandzgirl]

Thank You! I was doing my crunches wrong.

[catman1233]

i was too rofl...i was putting my legs in the air and doing the crunches lol

[showermanable]

bet they had good time after this vid rofl

[backwardsballcapgirl]

"patrick please stop". lol. he thought he was cool.

[hobogoblin55]

Patrick is her bitch

[B9orange]

lol

[hkgoldendotcom]

after the video she went ahead and rode on Patrick's cock

[AspiringScoundrel]

That is vulgar.

[Eydu128]

That was a funny comment!

[Roadrunnerz45]

probably LOL. pity the video stopped at 2:24

[gladeplugins]

Haha, lucky man. I'd let her ride on my face.

[S0ANIMAT3D]

it good to work out at age 14 because u needed for occasion like football...u need to be big and buff so u can win??

[vongSTAA]

well being big and buff just means u can put big hits on people and also take hits lol

[raxe30]

iDramaXx - Mmmm.... Workout.. :D

[Tune4you]

I've read that our metabolism slows down at around age 32, and that is one reason we begin to show that belly flab. I know, I was skinny all my life and ate, drank anything. That 32 year, it's a 'black magic' time of your life imo. Be careful. :)

[Killerpingu123]

kool im like you and im 13 now and im skinny but muscly so at 32 i will be fat lol

[666jman666]

your going to stunt your growth if you start working out at 13

[Krawnikal]

I started working out when I was 12 and I was about 5'3'', I'm 19 now and 6'1''. The stunt growth things is almost like a wives tale.

[Krawnikal]

There are cases where people do over workout for their age, by overwork out I mean use protein supplements, and working out too much, working out the same areas too much(which can mess up your muscles) where they do experience stunted growth, but I never started using supplements til about 18.

Best advice if you do choose to work out at a young age is to not get on the weight gain stuff, just change your diet.

[chrischrist2u]

cool! so you don't necesarily get stunt growth from exercise? thats good cause i'm 15, 6'2 and would still love to grow a little more lol

[xlaurenc]

I don't like watching this video knowing he died right after..

[LenovoMsTyk]

r u serious??...wat happened?

[666jman666]

your a fucking tool

[Flashed6]

5 seconds after the recording of this, his abs exploded, and he died in horrible pain.

[aqueel82]

why ?

[EasterEvent]

is he alive?

[anonymous3306]

fantasy when she works me out  =D

[MyCrazayWorld]

LOLLLLLLL

[InsaneChef]

slowly using our muscle more is better rather than doing it alot and thinking you'll get abs faster. it wont work. You should feel the muscle working or you're not doing it right.

[beginersk8ter97]

wat if i do like 300 per day, like i have all ready been doing.

should i not do it everyday, and if i do it everyday wont i get abs faster

[666pandemic]

You're not supposed to work any muscle everyday, muscles grow when they're not being used. You can however overwork your muscles and injure yourself.

[bluehacker]

If you are able to do "300 per day" you are definitely NOT doing them right, that's for sure!

[PhoenixBurst999]

i do every muscle up to 3x a day im almost 13 and its working

[thetafour]

now define how you work them?

your definitely not working out right.

[meatsandwich69]

you are too young to be working out like that. you will stunt your growth.

[fishonehitwonder]

lol 13 not good way to young man

[wriglyextra]

Continue training, but training alone will not work, you must go on diet in addition

[548768]

I didn't know it was so complicated. Is every guy supposed to do all this? We're lazy.

[0southy]

that guy is her bitch

[paracetamoloverdose]

Lol, this is hard for me XD

[starvingworksxx]

me too x]

[cole330033]

she's sweet!!! ^^

[gladeplugins]

So I guess I'm the not only one who'd be more than willing to hit that huh? B)

[starvingworksxx]

id hit it and im straight

[JimmyPumper]

In order to get a full ab workout you have to workout your upper abs, obliques, and lower abs.

*UPPER ABS* - 2 sets of 60 crunches

*OBLIQUES* - 2 sets of 50 side plank obliques

*LOWER ABS* - 2 sets of 60 reverse crunches

Do all these excercises in one session every other day.(25 to 30 minute sessions)

Eat a healthy diet with as little saturated fat as possible.

If the excercises are too easy (which they will be eventually) do not increase reps, instead at an additional set per workout.

[LondonSpaz]

what are obliques?

[JimmyPumper]

Obliques are the walls of the abdomen (Sides of your stomach)

Here is a video thats shows you Oblique side planks watch?v=cn4pLnWqoA4

[NAes12]

This is silly. It may work, but it's probably not the most effective way to train your abs. High reps are not as useful for building strength as using lower reps with weights or isometric holds. And there is a whole body of literature supporting that.

More effective would probably 10 crunches with max contraction for 5 secs, plank hold for time, lying hip swings with a medicine ball. Do them in a circuit x3 or 4 times. That will be more effective in bringing the necessary pain.

[matthew1232k]

your stomic hurts after wards

[cell151]

she is hot

[cookiesandcreamx]

it's s hard to do this.. i did that crunch hown on the vid & it felt like my stomach muscles were shaking.. is that meant to happen?

[theWaumsG]

no offence but this is because they are weak...make sure u stretch ur abs first and use correct form... they are shaking because they are weak but will get stronger.

[cezza57]

hey so..does this crunch work the whole abdominal area? lower and upper abs?

i dont go to the gym or anything but i just do some casual workouts at home and want a good technique that will show results.

can anyone help

thanks :)

[Nimnoms]

It works more so the upper ads, reverse crunches can be used for lower abs.

[cezza57]

thanks for that.

ive started doing workouts where i lay on my back and i hold the couch behind my head. i then lift my legs high in the air then push them straight out and slowly down. i repeat this a few times.

would u know if thats any good for lower abs?

:)

[Nimnoms]

Yes, that sounds very similar to a reverse crunch. I did something like this in martial arts. The most important part of getting good abdominals is to lower your fat intake.

;)

[cezza57]

awesome!!

so cut out all the chocolate, burgers etc?!?!? :( haha

ive benn doing all these ab routines for about 2 weeks - most days and i still dont see results..well i do alittle on my upper abs but not much lower abs

[Nimnoms]

Just don't eat it everyday. If you're dedicated you'll make it in no time at all.

[cezza57]

haha ill try. thanks for all your help bro.

see ya round eh

[meroooo1860]

i agree with cuttie9hottie7 an Silenced93 ..when i did it the way he is doing it in this vid. my neck was killing me i felt like training my neck more than my abs ...

[macbethag]

how do u feel patrick

[cuttie9hottie7]

in the second exercise my neck started killin me so im not sure, am i doin it right?

[Silenced93]

when i tucked in my neck i used my neck a lot

including my stomach but i feel like i put a lot of pressure on my neck help?

[TonyTovar]

Try not to lean your head forward and try to think about moving your shoulders to your knees, if you lean your head back a little and focus on moving your shoulders tends to help me a lot.

[MetabolicTransformer]

Ever worked out with Metabolic Transformer 3066? You will sense the difference ASAP. Fat goes down dramatically.

[LittleDevil0071]

Patrick got tired from doing like 5....he must be new

[allisonralphvideo]

Informative / good !

[MerlauAnDieMacht]

thx nice video

[desgranador]

does that help you get a six pack?

[LittleDevil0071]

no desrandor this workout helps your hair grow..of cource it helps for your six pack..it is made just FOR the six pack. And some other back muscles.

[emoasianboy]

its helps ur hair grow? that explains why my ass has so much hair....

[PreReleased]

lol eatin a bagette whislt watchin... i feel fat now... gnna go do sme ab crunches...

[sandyny]

ROFL

[LollipopxSugar]

XD good plan

[pepilapuw]

fab, thanks

[Burdenboy]

Everyday i regulary eat french fries since i was 10 now i'm close to 14 and still i am not fat my sister asks me why i am not fat nor am i skinny... is it cause of my father's genes? or something like that cause i eat more than my sister but she puts more weight to it than me??? anyone??? by the way i have a sportive body but i am lazy as hell!!! i'm a computer addict and i rarely go outside :P

Guess what they say is right raising vs. genes genes always wins.

[elrik9000]

say as ere mate.. my sister is fat, and im defo not... i was told is all about metabalism, my is fast, hers is slow,,, lucky me\you i guess...

[Burdenboy]

kk thanks :)

[CallMeElune]

lol

[RichJ66]

hahaha

[JamieLovesToSmile]

@oRISHI12 u know nothing shut up :D

[87Unknown2k8]

is it good for you not to eat for 2 days to be skinny ?? neone ??

[mskiproductions]

87Unknown2k8, Its not always about how much you eat, starving yourself for two days would actually be bad as you body will store any food thats in there as fat to keep you going through the day and even exercing wont take it off so eat regular not fatty meals and keep exercising it should help..

Sorry i cant give you better explained/detailed advise :)

[tadevil1]

Starving yourself doesnt do anything, just eat stuff thats low in fat, drink lots of water and work out but starving does not help.

[eminemfan221993]

starving is Bad Due to ur body has to feed and u got fat and Muscle ur Brain Tell ur Cells to go and eat ur muscle casueing u toi lose ur abs So to lose wegith dont Gain but banacle ur gain so its like tank understand?

[gpj]

stop eating industrial crap, and get your fat ass outside and play can help you lose some weight.

[account98]

sorry didnt catch that

[freshlikeuh1]

fuiaesd

[partylikeitsnine]

lol. if i were patrick, i'd probably have a boner when i got up.

[back2bapu]

in order to get nice abs you need to cut your fat calories and reduce your body fat. More crunches and cardio. i start gym from feb 01 and i can do 550 crunches with 50 decline crunches and cardio for 25 min and eat 5 to 6 meals and already I can see results. there is no way you loose your body fat and not lose your weight. while you working out either building mass or lose fat if you wanna see results fast you need the right diet period. and i tell you something its not easy to eat 6 meals

[tadevil1]

6 meals a day? why would that be difficult I only eat 2, 3 at the most. :/

[Georgie2500]

550 crunches is dumb

[timucuassss]

In order to get nice abs, you need to do cardio

[zarasimpsonbrown]

these r more effective than sit ups, sit ups dont reali work

[Putte92]

The stomach is not different from the other muscles on your body. If you want to build mass you need to do 10-15 reps in 3-5 sets like you do with any other muscle.

[gavinwell]

Patrick's getting bullied.

[kiidDynamite]

im 13 i do 180 reps of different types of crunches

[rickallen03]

im 15 how many of those am i suppose to do

[rob91Harvey]

I'm 16 (goin on 17) and i do 50 a day and if you do them right you feel your abs work alot more with these than sit-ups :) hope this helps

[omarllosa]

im 16 i do 300! i changed my age to 22 so i can wacth over 18 videos

[Tatorandtot]

I am 17 and I have been doing 200+ everyday for almost a year.

[Jeicoreg]

100-150 with weights 14 years old

[k4joyea]

How tall are you?

[Jeicoreg]

5'4''

[stephmaddie12]

bitch

[tigrecito244]

monse!!

[spiritobscura]

what does it do? can it make u thin?

[Moiez101]

no, crunches are made to shape the abs you already have. Sit ups make you loose body fat around the stomach area.

[SeipherNL]

lol.....

[Moiez101]

what's so funny?

[SeipherNL]

situps dont make you lose fat mate. shouldn't really mislead people :p like ur beatbox vids btw ;)

[Moiez101]

ahaha, well, they make you loose fat around the stomach area, and im sure about that. thanks btw LOL.

[KaseyAkira]

No, they do not. And here I thought the myth of spot reducing was dead, seeing as how even the WORST trainers know you cant spot reduce. You cannot selectively take fat from any part of your body. This is genetically predetermined.

Sit ups are archaic, as they do very little for the abs, and target the hip flexors. Also, you cannot "shape" a muscle, you can only condition it and hope its shaped the way you want.

[Moiez101]

yeh i just learned that fat is lost all around the body at one time.

[manjotpudmaster]

how many crunches should u do a day . if u have a one pack ur thirteen and if u weigh 130

[KaseyAkira]

3) Put your right index finger approximately 1.3 cm above your middle finger and rest it on the lobe of your ear, with your elbows out at 40 degrees and relative to the position of your scapula, but only on the first Tuesday of each month when its raining and you're wearing blue and its after 12. (You're not the first one to over complicate things as a substitute for having a real education in what you're doing. Crunches are NOT this complicated.)

[KaseyAkira]

1) You back does NOT have to be flattened at the beginning of the movement. Doing this is likely to remove some of the ROM, making the movement far less effective, and possibly put stress on the lumbar spine.

2) Stick my tongue up??? That "activates the neck muscles"? Does this have anything to do with my ab workout? Should I stick my tongue OUT and go "pttttttt" like a 3 year old? Will that "activate even MORE neck muscles"?

[dude58677]

When someone takes their back all the way off the ground, the hip flexors become activiated and the abs are no longer activated past a 30 degree angle. This is why the old sit-up is no longer considered valid.

[Healthyfavourites]

Whats next! How to lick a lollipoP!

[KaseyAkira]

4) Your neck is going to get tired and start burning. Thats why your hands should be behind your head, taking some of the weight off your front neck by supporting the back of your head.

5) You need a full ROM - the ribs should come as close as possible to the pelvis, not just "up a few inches".

6) Tucking in your chin is the same as pulling your head forward with your hands behind your head.

[KaseyAkira]

7) To do a crunch, simply lay back, and forcefully pull your ribs toward your pelvis and squeeze to ensure you've completed the range, then relax. Your hand position, tongue position, toe position, finger position, DOESN'T MATTER, so use common sense. Your abs are like any other muscle. Just force them to contract under resistance, and they'll get stronger.

[yott79]

Hmm that seems like the most reasonable advice I've heard about crunches so far. Everyone seems to have different methods and tips about crunches but in the end, obviously its the ab muscles that need to be exercised. But it also makes sense to point out that the neck, hips etc. should not be doing the majority of motion.

[lionnn1233]

wow... every bodie knows how to do crunches

[UnnecessaryRoughness]

stupid cunt

[honesNRG]

He does crunches. sit ups look different and feel different ;)

[ooweirdoo]

sit ups could hurt your spine :)

[izuddin151]

Is this really crunches? How come it looks like sit-up? Or are there any differences between these two? I'm a bit curious here because i don't think i really know crunches are. Comments, anyone?

[mjufpn]

Does it matter that much cause I get the muscules anyway?

[Ryan9999999dfhj]

this is tking to long to load

[Cauldronics]

She's cute, but too skinny.

[SouthEastCrew]

I think all that is a bit complicated but people have different way's of doing crunches but i'm alright with my style thanks.

[Rastalombok]

All of you just shut the fuck up. The way they're doing it is a way to make you crunch more to make your abs stronger. And why the fuck would you do 100 if your neck was hurting

[blisscarmen]

omg no way

[miftner]

thank you, I did it wrong all the time

[chaomac]

my neck goes stify i just started doing ab crunches is this common

[rock4god4ever]

yes it is, i stuggled with that so i did leg lifts and backward crunches, now i can do normal ones just fine!!!

[xALiV3x]

Those crunches are total fucking Bull Shit!! Crunches arent that complicated... thats fucking pussy crunches!

All you have to do is lay flat then put hands behind head, lift legs, then crunch.... fuck this video makes me fucking angry having to watch it... i do crunches everyday... and i have no problem at all this woman is going to hell for this fucking dumb video... shame

[HolyZion]

Lol... apparently you're one of the idiots who claim that you do alot of crunches. I am pretty sure you did, but you did them wrongly... What's the point of doing them if you can't do it properly? If you can do it properly, you don't even have to do it everyday, lol.

[HomedudePedroski]

that girl is hot.

[HomedudePedroski]

it looks like she's in control of him. lolz

[EeY0rE666]

WTF when i'm doing this my back always hurts. can someone help me out

[OrangeGazan]

YOU RETARDS I BROKE MY NECK DOING THIS THANKS ALOT , ESPECIALLY WHEN PATRICK IS DOING LIKE ONLY 4 OF THEM, TRY A 100! Morons

[looneysolidsnake]

thats situps

or is crunch and situps the same??

[evilempire96]

get her on that matt and bang the shit outta her lol

[lobo5110]

How can you have a flat back when you do an anterior pelvic tilt? Besides when your back is flat your lower abdominals are already fully flexed so any movement beyond that is minimally effective.
