Russell Phillips Why stay with old routines that don’t eliminate fat from your abs and barely even tone them up, because they’re so unendingly specific? Instead, go with some of the new routines, and ignore all that old junk.
We’ve put together 5 simple reasons the old ab workouts are no good.
#5: Time to Abandon Crunches in Your Ab Workouts.
Go with the flow and give up on the crunches — they just don’t have the relevance that they once did. Because they seemed to be the direct descendent of the sit-up, crunches had a long lifespan, but there are many more things you can be doing.
Thanks to the focus on ab exercises for reducing belly fat (which doesn’t work), a whole group of people spent a lot of time crunching, crunching, and crunching when they didn’t have to.
#4: Most Pieces of Equipment Don’t Work Well.
There’s really no need to use any kind of equipment when exercising your abs, as the most effective exercises have been proven to be possible without any kind of assistance.
While some people really need the physical presence of an exercise tool as a way to get them to work out, most are fine without, which is good, because they don’t really work.
