The reason he says it won't get you anywhere is because spot reducing fat is a myth. Obtaining a six pack is done through proper dieting. You could do 500 crunches everyday, and you might actually end up looking bigger with no visible abs because the muscles have gotten bigger but the fat hasn't reduced.
However, I'm not suggesting that you not do crunches. A six pack gained simply because you are too skinny is unsightly. Find a calorie calculator and find out roughly how many calories you need everyday as well as learning how to diet properly.
I run 2-3 miles a day (not that much compared to runners, I know) and my daily workout involves core and abdominal exercises. But I'm still only showing a four pack because I get complacent about my diet.
I haven't said anything new or revolutionary, but I hope this helps anyone skipping to the last post. I wonder how going to the beach went for the original poster.
