| I totally agree with the reverse crunches. If you have a stability ball, you can do crunches on it too! Betty

| Crunches - lay on floor with you legs bent at the knees supported by coach or foot stool. Lift head up maybe 6-8 inches and really "cruch" the abs for a second or two then back down and over. 30 of these really makes one want to hurl - BUT VERY EFFECTIVE! Later you can go right to left also. Scissor crunch - I can do this on the floor or from a bench or foot stool but basically laying flat, pivoting from your hips, move your shoulders and bent knees. to a "V" position. These are great back to back although any ab work is great. KEY here is form and, going slow, and really FLEXING or CRUNCHING the abs. Bent Knee Leg Raises - Laying flat on the floor, raise bent legs up to chest then back down NOT letting feet touch the floor. Try to "feel" the constant contraction in the abs. When it relaxes at upward movement, thats when to go back down. The crunch is for upper abs and the scissor and bent knee is lower abs.
