  • No more than 10-15 minutes 3x a week. Although you need to work the muscles to exhaustion (like any other muscle group), regular crunches are not extremely effective for strengthening or flattening. In fact, if done incorrectly, they can cause a "pooch" or outward bulging of the muscle, making your stomach stick OUT. You're far better off doing plank holds, Pilates, and stability ball exercises, as well as adding core balance to all other routines you do. Kick-boxing and swimming are also great for abdominal results.
