You're stronger than you think.

False. Since crunches don’t burn a lot of calories, it’s not a good way to lose fat. They also only work a small portion of your abs. Instead, vary your abdominal workout by focusing on your upper, lower and side muscles.

A power rack (also known as a cage, squat cage or squat rack) is the ideal weight training equipment that functions as a mechanical spotter for free weight barbell exercises without the movement restrictions imposed by equipment such as the smith machine.

How can I increase intensity? There are several ways to increase intensity. Increase your step height, use longer lever arms or add power moves (where both feet are in the air at the same time). If you are going to add power, don't exceed one minute at a time. All power moves should be done up onto the platform never down off the step. Power moves are considered advanced, and should not be attempted by beginners.

Is it better to break up my exercise sessions? For aerobic exercise, it would be better to do a single workout and give you body the rest it needs to repair. For weight training, two sessions might be better providing different muscle groups are worked during each session. In either case, the question is whether too many workout sessions are being scheduled. The body doesn't build until after the exercise is over, during the rest periods. No rest periods, no rebuilding.
