How many crunches should I do every day?

But to answer your question about doing push-ups and crunches each and every day: Go for it . The only time you ever need to skip a day before you can do the same exercise is when the weight is so great that you have created the conditions for overload and muscular hypertrophy.

How many crunches should an individual do every day? 10-12 repetitions and three sets of crunches will be good enough. In addition, you may do three sets of two or three variations to engage the other muscles in the stomach.

Doing some crunches or planks at the end of every workout leaves your midsection in a constantly overworked state, preventing any results you’d like to see. To get results and prevent overtraining, focus on hitting your core two to three times a week post-workout.
