sit ups
How many sit ups should you do a day and when should you do them (be very specific). And when you do them, do you just do them going up and down really fast or do you bend down and like wait for a few seconds and then get up and repeat?

youuuuu neeeddd tttooo dddooo ttheeemmm ssllloowwwllyyyy. =) no one can tell you how many to do without working with you/seeing you. just do as many as you can until it hurts. do them in sets. start with i don't know, 3 sets of 20 and see how that feels. if you can't do that many, or if it's too easy, change it up. just do them in sets and rest for about a minute or so in between each set. and when you do them, make sure you're not just sticking your neck up, your whole upper body. and don't go all the way up either, only go until where you feel it most, which is a little more than half way up.
for lower abs, a really good exercise to do is if you lay flat on your back with your hands behind your head, across your chest, at your sides- whatever. and put your legs out flat in front of you and lower your legs up and down. this really targets your lower abs and work ssoooo good.
you should check out www.toneteen.com =) they have lots of good exercises and tips! good luck with your crunches! lol ♥

ok so you're obviously interested in how to work your abs.
if you have an exercise ball its better to do crunches on that
but on just the floor lie on your back and either cross your arms on your chest or rest your fingers on the sides of your head, but don't pull your head up with your hands. when you go up go slowly and go until your shoulderblades on your back are off of the ground, don't go all the way to a sitting position. DO NOT go quickly up and down, you could do that 10000 times a day and your abs wouldn't get any better, go slowly, go back down, don't pause and go back up slowly.
also, try going to either side to work the sides of your abs
google ab exercises to get more
do about 30 up and down, thirty to the right and thirty to the left a day

I don't really know the answer to what time of day, but I do know that a sit-up burns about 1 calorie each. So, lets say you want to lose weight, probably around 2000 calories burned (based on your diet) so base your exercise around that. You want to do the sit-ups slowly and allow the muscles to slowly contract and release. Hope this helps.
