Push ups use a lot of chest muscles (pecs) which run from the outside of your shoulder to your sternum, which explains the chest muscle pain. Crunches are tricky, there hard to get right...do you go to a gym? Maybe one of the people there could help you?

Soreness is not an indication of how hard you worked. Its ok if your abs don't hurt.

As for pushups - it works a number of muscles, some are weaker than others which is why some are sore and others aren't. Again, lack of soreness in the others doesn't mean you didn't work them.

thank you, i always thought if there was pain that was a good thing, guess i was wrong and was afraid i was doing it wrong and that i was doing it for nothing lol
