Even if you’re not looking to get a six-pack—and believe us, it’s really not worth it—you’ve probably done some sort of abs exercises. You’ve heard a strong core has lots benefits, from improving your posture to preventing injuries, and if you’re being honest, you also want that elusive flat stomach. So you add crunches to your workout.

- spot reduction is impossible
- there are many exercises to strengthen your core besides just crunches
