Is it healthy to do crunches everyday?

They're not gonna give you a 6pack if that's what you are asking.

What will? I know about the eating right part but what kind of exercises?

[havok022]

Eating right, and sit ups will get you a six pack. I was close just by doing sit ups...i just didn't eat right I was always told that you should leave a day in between exercises to give your muscles time to rest and develop...but that's just what i was told. Don't know if it's correct.

Depends on volume, really.

What's the proper diet for it?

[TokyoGator]

Everyone already has a six-pack, its just hiding under a layer of fat. If you do a shitload of crunches but don't burn the fat you'll actually look fatter because the muscles get bigger under the fat.

Just eat somewhat healthy, run, and do sit-ups.... Crunches are overated IMHO... Get on a decline sit-up board, get nasty and do some real sit-ups.

when exercising, anything is bad for your body when not using the proper form...its very important, my friend fucked up his back from doing workouts the wrong way

weighted crunches

[Poodie]

weighted situps on the decline thing, situps on those big balls, leg lifts, leg lifts in the romain chair. you can do abs everyday, but its better if you leave a day in between and eat lots of protien. running also helps a lot, try to do a few miles every other day and do different things when you run. like where you sprint the straights and jog the curves on a track, or just run at a moderate pace for x amount of miles or sprint jog walk is another good one. it takes a while to get abs so be patient. ive been doin mine for about a year and they are starting to look pretty good. do lower back when you do abs too.
