crunches do help tighten your stomach, but only when it's combined with cardiovascular exercise. if your stomach's too soft right now, the crunches only add muscles BENEATH this skin, or fat, whichever it may be. when you run, dance, jog, walk, etc., you get rid of the soft part that you don't like, and the effect of your crunches will show through, and your stomach will be muscular. so do around 80 crunches a day, in sets of 20, as well as some form of jogging every other day, or as often as you can. hope that helps

Well I do dancing and everyday we have to do about 50 situps and crunches but what helps is when you do different variations like right left leg up reach etc. There is also the plank position that is hard but it will REALLY help your abdomens you lay like if you were going to do a push up but instead of your arms being flat on the floor supporting you lace your fingers together instead andbend your elbows and put your hands (together and laced) on the floor your abs wil immediatly start working I literally shake but after I feel like I have ushers abs haha but in a girl way.. Honestly it does help your abs and helps you to a 6 pack but it doesn't take all the "flabby" off unless you do like 1000 and I don't recommend 1000 unless u have lots of energy then go ahead! But I recommend for you to do like as many as you can like maybe 50 w/ diff. Variations Then just keep going! Well I hope my advice helped!
Best wishes,

It tightens your stomach.
Do three sets, until failure.

Yes. It works the muscles in your stomach.
When you do crunches, make sure that your feet are flat against the floor and come up all the way up without gripping anything to lift you up.
When you start out, start with 10 a day. After a week, or if you think you're ready, advance by 5. Each time you think you're ready, add 5 to what you already do. Don't overwork yourself and go up too fast
