I did 100 crunches for 30 days: Outcome.

I see a lot of things online saying, “do this 100 times daily and you will get this result.” So, I wanted to try it out with some deep core exercises. I did 100 crunches for 30 days and I did not get a six pack. Honestly, I had no expectation to get one. I just wanted to see if it would do anything. I was initially, literally going to do 100 crunches a day for 30 days, instead I took this opportunity to focus on this mommy pouch that has settled in and refuses to go anywhere. 

Each of the exercises below were hand-picked for their focus on the deep core. If my anatomy class instruction holds true, we have two layers of ab muscles. We are bypassing the top layer and focusing on the second layer. These are for the most part low impact exercises and easy to do.

Let’s talk results. Well, I already said that this challenge did not result in me having a flat stomach or six – pack, but that is based on my starting point. Like I mentioned I had a bit of a mommy pooch, 1–2-inch sag in the front, and after this, it is smaller, not gone but it is definitely smaller, and I will take that. 

It not always the look we need to focus on, we need to focus on how we feel. Yes, my stomach is now smaller and that make me feel good, but also just the consistency of working out has bettered my mood and helped me to develop habits that I can maintain. You don’t need to spend hours in the gym working out, but you need to move. It will better your body and your mood. Getting back into this consistency had done wonders for my health and mental well-being. 

Why don’t you give it a go and see what it can do for your stomach and your mood. And by all means if you wish to do 100 crunches for 30 days, have at it and share your results.
