what does crunches/ab exercises do?
i did building exercises on abs alot result: strong/stronger abs.
what does crunches/toning exercises do practically to/for abs?

larger question: what does toning exercises actually do?
thanks

doing endless crunches allows your abs to gain endurance but not strength...and endurance is more a factor of time under tension and not specifically how slow any portion of a lift is....

The result of endless crunches is calorie burn. Plain and simple.
