Crunches and excersise in general...?!
Question: Crunches and excersise in general!.!.!.!?
Hello all- I eat healthily (eg, all the right food, fruit, veggies, no sodas / I eat mostly complex sugars) and am quite lean (not skinny though) , (I'm a guy) 14 year old, 120ish pounds with about 8% body fat!.!. I lift quite a bit of weights and do crunches, side crunches, and push ups and pull ups!. So I target all my major muscel groups, I also run, and when I can't go running I jump rope!. So I try to stay really fit!.
I have like a 2 pac (my goal is 6 pac eventually lol ) and I get pretty tired from doing only like 15-25 reps of crunches (I try to go up about half way and then stay there for about 2 seconds heard this was good)!. Am I really weak in the stomach if I can only do that few reps!?
Am I doing a good job at staying healthy!? I've done a lot of research- any other suggestions!? I lift dumbbells and do all the major dumbbell excersises for my arms, chest, back!.
Anyway thanks for any suggestions if there are any- I think I'm covering most all of it!.

Answers:
You sound very healthy and very fit - maybe a bit thin, but that could be genetic!.
It's OK not to do many crunch reps!. If you are doing them correctly then you shouldn't be able to do hundreds like a lot of people claim!. You should though maybe work up to doing a couple of sets of 15-25 every few days!. So do your 25 or whatever, rest and then do another set!. Also you should be doing some back exercises to counter balance!.
Your health and fitness sound good - now stop thinking too much about it and go and enjoy life!Www@Answer-Health@Com
