crunches
i've recently started doing crunches every day [by recently i mean today being the 3rd day]. I do 50 crunches every morning and night, 20 without weights, 20 with two 3 lb weights, and then 10 without weights. I was wondering, if i continue to do this consistently, and occasionally add some push-ups or planks, how soon can I expect to see results, and what kind of results?

You're going to strengthen your core muscles a lot, but crunches don't get rid of any belly fat. They help tone you if you're doing all the right stuff, though. If you're looking for that kind of result, you're gonna need to add some cardio to your routine. Believe me. I can out-crunch all my of my bodybuilding guyfriends, but I don't have a six-pack because I still have fat covering my awesome muscles. Lol
As for the pushups, yes. Those are good. They work most of your body if you do them right (but you have to have the right form), and planks are great for abs.
But like I said, you're not gonna see yourself shedding body fat unless you kick it up a couple notches and add some bike riding, speedwalking, or running.
I've never been so cut in my life as I was before I hurt my leg and was running 3 miles every day. Granted, 3 miles of running is a little extreme, you'd do fine with running a mile like 3 days a week, as long as you're getting some cardio in. It burns fat, and it'll show those great abs you're shaping.
Good luck!

Hey there,
To answer your problem, you`ll begin to get stretch marks that show that you're losing weight. Strentch marks are marks that are redish and they look like that your skin was pulled and now it's set loose. And you`ll just begin to notice it yourself in your b ody that you're losing weight because you yourself will begin to feel lighter.
Try that!
Hope it helped :)

I agree with the previous adviser.
You should start seeing results in a couple of weeks but be careful to not overwork yourself. Plus you gotta factor in that your body is still changing.

You may see results as soon as three or four weeks, but it all depends on your body type.
Note though, that if you don't exercise on a regular basis and you are just starting out now, don't overwork yourself. That could do more harm than help. Maybe try easing into the crunches instead of 100 a day. Just a suggestion.
