Well, after seconds and seconds of vigorous research, i finally figured out what a crunch is!!!! to all of you who are as clueless as me, I will teach you how. Lie down flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor. Hold your hands wherever you feel comfortable (on your chest or beside your head - just be sure you don't pull on your head). Simply roll your upper torso forward. For a more effective "crunch", push your chest and head up towards the ceiling pushing your lower back flat onto the floor.Trying to crunch up towards the ceiling will increase the tension on the abs. Hold at the top of the movement for a second and squeeze hard. Don't lift up into a sit-up... thats NOT a crunch and does not accomplish what crunches do. This information curiosity of www.fitstep.com :-)

You did do alot of research... and, this is helpful to those who even do know what a basic crunch is because they may not have been doing them in the most effective way. =)
Good luck!
