Though, make sure you dont do that many in a row split it up throughout the day cuz ur stomach will hurt from doing that many in a row. Do the most at a time i would have to say only up to like 70 or 50.

First of all, and this is most important, crunches (or whatever) will only build muscle on your stomach not burn the fat there. You can never ever target fatloss from an area of the body, its humanly impossible. So, you might already have the abs you want... under a layer of fat. To lose that fat you need to get your whole body into weight loss and, eventually, your stomach will be affected (what your body targets first is geneticly controlled). Resistance trainning (in your whole body), aerobic workouts, sensible eating etc are the key, not more ab workouts. Now, even when talking solely about building muscle, doing infinite numbers of crunches is not ideal. Try for example varying with other exercises and/or using a small weight behind your head to make the resistance greater. Doing say 3 sets of 25 crunches with increased resitance will have more effect than what you are doing now. [ Alin75's advice column | Ask Alin75 A Question ]
