So every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I do my workout. My workout is:
A 30 minute run
60 total crunches
24 Push-Ups
Is there anything i need to add? I dont drink any water until afterwards...and i know i should do it during it...but its my goal to finish, then i drink some. I'm mainly doing it to get in shape and for that summer bod(;...any thoughts??

Sounds good, keep it up, also, dancing, if you do is very nice and fun.
Ohhh, I would suggest a cool-down run, 15 to 20 min should do it.

Also between changing sort of activites e.g going from a run to crunches try and intake some water just to keep yourself refreshed, I know you said you knew you should I was just adding it as a suggestion to renforce the idea.
Also a short cool down run afterwards or an vigures walk aswell.

Did you know that drinking water before exercise has prooven to increase fitness and stamina levels? Try drinking at least some before, during, and a significant amount after. Hydration is very important, and is too often overlooked. Make sure you warm up and cool down. But what your doing sounds great :)
Btw - Swimming is a great sport, so if you swim at least once a week for half an hour, it equals something like 3 hours of jogging, don't quote me on that I read it somewhere in a journal. All the best :)

Hey man.
That's looking a bit on the low side (unless you're only doing it for the heck of keeping fit). Do you have access to weights and/or resistance machines? 30 minutes of cardio should more or less be daily activity. I try to run ~5km or bike 25-30kms six times a week except Sundays and use machines when the weather's shit.
I think it's a good idea to start thereabouts if you think you're already working yourself close to your limits. Don't over-exert or over-train as that's counterproductive, but keep setting new and higher goals & challenges. Push more each time.
Couldn't do a single proper push-up when I first started 4 years ago, but when I could, every time I did I pushed one more. It felt dumb at first, doing one a day, then two, but before long I could see myself going on almost forever :)
Remember to watch that diet if you're after that bod too ;) Less carbs, more proteins. More, frequent and smaller meals.

Honestly, I think planks are better than crunches. Increase those numbers when you feel like it's becoming easy.
But the important thing is, how is your diet?

That sounds like a great schedule!
I'd suggest doing different types of abdominal exercises as well, but not all in one day. Alternate the exercises, but take a day off here and there - it's important for you body and muscles to rest and recover from the work out.
Working out is very important, but if you eat poorly you aren't doing as much good as you think. Make sure you eat enough protein and that you get some vegetable and fruit servings in there too, it's all important!
