Lunges work the quadriceps, but involve additional muscles, including the glutes, hamstrings, calves and core muscles, making them a great exercise for toning the lower body. They are also back-friendly, because of the need to keep your back straight and your chest lifted, so you have little risk of back strain.

Crunches do not actually burn stomach fat, they work the front tummy areaa - the rectus abdominus and oblique muscles.
