Hahah I actually had around 2 months of being a hardcore fitness buff. And then I gave up. XD
Oh and people, don't get too obsessed doing crunches to get abs. The secret to having defined abs is actually just having a low percentage of body fat. Although crunches do strengthen your stomach muscles and help support your lower back.
Daily crunches and leg raises help build up your abdominals and lower back - your "core" muscles. They're essential for maintaining posture and, from my experience, transferring the energy from your legs and hips in into your arms during a punch, or vice-versa
Also remember to stretch BEFORE you training regiment - flexible, relaxed limbs are just as important as strong muscles. You'd be surprised how many people end up being in the hospital due to sprained muscles and torn ligaments .
Strength is nothing without proper form to channel it into power.
