1) Your form is sloppy
A sloppy form can turn a move into one that won’t do anything for you
example - sagging your hips in a plank
2) You’re doing the workout wrong
If you strain your neck, most of the work ends up being in the hip flexors rather than the abs
3) You’re not breathing correctly or not at all
The correct way to breathe during a crunch is to Inhale before starting the workout then begin to exhale as you crunch your belly and start to curl up, keeping your abs tightened throughout the move. you must exhale as you pull your abs in
4) Doing the same exercises day after day
No matter what your exercise your doing, you should change your workout often whether its doing more reps or a different workout
5) You won't see results unless you do intense cardio
You can continue doing the cardio your doing but just do it faster
6) You're eating the wrong foods
A healthy diet is the fastest way to flat abs. You could do 500 crunches a day, but if you’re consuming too many calories, your six-pack is going to be hiding under fat
7) You’re not focused on quality
doing 500 crunches a day wont do anything. All you need to do it one to three sets of 8 to 20 repetitions per exercise to get results
8) You’re not taking your time to do your workout
Doing your reps quickly won’t give you the abs you want. You need to do your workouts slow and control them instead of doing as man y crunches you can in a minute
9) You have too much stress
Stress causes the body to increase production of the stress hormone, which can affect other hormones in your body, leading to weight gain
10) You’re not sleeping enough
studies have shown that lack of sleep can affect your blood sugar, your hunger hormones, and even the rate at which you burn calories throughout the day.
