Almost everyone that I talk to believes that by doing 1000 crunches or sit ups a day, they are going to achieve a six pack in no time. I tend to try to talk them out of thinking and when I tell them the truth, they really can't seem to believe it. They don't understand because they have been led down a road by these infomercials and goofy abdominal machines that you can have a six pack in just 4 minutes a day 3 days a week. However,...more
