How many sit ups will it take to lose 10 pounds?

Answer 1

Well if you don't have any abs you sould start off by doing about 50 of them but if it to hard maybe try doing 20 a day then once you get used to doing 20 try 50 then 100 but don't hurt your self doing them take it slow :))

Answer 2

If you are talking about washboard abs, then you have to do cardio and usually a good diet helps. If you are talking about just having strong ab muscles, then doing 3 to 5 sets of 20 to 50 repetitions each set, 3 to 5 days a week will get you strong ab muscles. Of course, you won't see them through the fat if you aren't doing cardio and diet. Try doing cardio 3 to 4 days a week for 30 minutes, try jogging, bike riding (coasting does not count), swimming (just playing around in the pool does not count). Good luck.

Answer 3

To lose fat you must work on the whole body unfortunately you cant spot reduce when it comes to fat but for the answer to the question you would need to do 1000 situps a day to lose one pound of fat not counting what you took in that day.

Answer 4

It takes you 100 sit ups every night.

"i actually do 100 every night. it helps, but to speed it up, start with not eating alot. drink alot more water (ditch the other drinks), avoid fatty foods (no porkchops/burgers/ greasy-fatty stuff), don't eat sweets (reward yourself once week: something small). and by then, it helps your cravings, the water helps alot, and definetly you'll see results: but remember things like this take time and you need to stick with it. I was 220 and i was DISGUSTED, i did that routing, and 5-6 months later i became 180. you realy need to be dedicated or its really not goin to work. I'm just saying because people tend to forget the dedication process of wanting to actually work hard."- Maurice J. Rodriguez

Answer 5

Depends on how fit you are. Do as many crunches (not full sit ups) as you can until you can't anymore (to fatigue). Over time, as you get stronger, the number you can do to fatigue will increase. Actually it would help to do both crunches and bicycles.If you have some extra body fat you will need to do some cardio as well to help burn the fat. Good diet will help too. Of course, the less fat on top the more they will show. Doing crunches alone will not burn fat unless you have only a little or none on your abs. I don't know your stature, gender or fitness level, but some people naturally have more fat around their abdomen and it takes quite some effort to get "six pack" abs. Of course, lucky people who are thinner or already fit can have a good result just doing a lot of crunches in 2 months.

50 crunches : hands on head, elbows touch quadriceps.

50 sit-ups: hand on head, elbows touch knees.

30 leg raises: lie flat, lift legs aprox. 2 ft. from ground then back down without touching the ground.

30 siscor kicks: lie flat, lift legs aprox. 1 ft. from ground then swing legs back and forth horizantally.

Repeat.

Answer 6

It depends on diet. Just doing sit ups may not reduce your stomach at all. The muscle under the fat may just make your waist bigger. You have to have a sensible diet and aerobic exercise to lose inches off your belly.

Answer 7

20-40 is good and some will do more than that. But it depends how many sit ups your body can do.

You will need to do about 20 thousand sit ups in order to lose 10 pounds. This is if you do at least 1 thousand sit ups at a time.

Answer 9
