Countless ab crunches not working for you?

Q: Will performing countless abdominal crunches get rid of the ‘pooch’ on the lower tummy/abdominal area?

A: It is not possible to spot reduce any area of the body.

The only answer is to reduce overall body fat through a slight caloric deficit, and add resistance exercise (strength bands training) to stimulate the metabolism and cardiovascular exercise to burn additional calories. That’s the way to fat loss.

There is an optional circuit training DVD available with the T.O. home gym system that will give you a total body cardiovascular and strength training workout in only 10 minutes a day, 3 times a week.

Performing crunches will never reduce the abdominal area because they only serve to strengthen muscle, not flatten a specific area. Just as 200 bicep curls will not make the arm smaller, nor will 200 abdominal crunches make the waist smaller. You cannot spot reduce any part of the body as it’s just not physiologically possible. However, you can strengthen it with resistance training.
