As a health skilled, I can respect the psychological power and optimistic behavioral change a person could achieve from performing 100 or extra reps in a row. And doing 100 crunches each morning would possibly provide you with a satisfying sense of accomplishment, plus bragging rights at events. Nonetheless, in the long run, extra isn’t essentially higher, for 2 fundamental causes:
