If I had a nickel for each crunch I saw people do at my gym I'd be a rich man today. I believe that this is probably the most performed exercise in the world. I bet you do them too. But is it also an effective exercise? Can crunches help you to lose belly stout?

The answer is yes... and no.

Naturally, doing crunches is better than doing nothing at all. It is an activity which burns calories and body stout. But, it is not the best way to shed some stomach weight. Far from it.

This is right for a number of reasons:

1. You simply can't lose stout from a specific body part. It doesn't matter which body part you focus on in your workouts, you lose stout from your entire body or not at all. This has already been proven. What this means is that you'd do better to focus on maximum stout burning workouts to get the best results.

2. Crunches are simply not an effective stout burning exercise. Usually, crunches aren't that intensive. In fact, even people who are far from fit can do a few dozen of them. This indicates how this exercise is not that hard to do and would therefore not be the best choice to lose belly stout with.

But, crunches do have some benefit since they do help you strengthen your abdominal muscles. In addition, you can make your crunches harder by doing them on a decline bench or a swiss ball.

But, if you want to lose belly stout, crunches aren't the answer, more intense weight training is.
