Ab clock crunchLying on your back, stretch your body out full length [arms over head] Next move your arms in a clockwise motion bringing them down towards your feet in a wide circle, as you do so you should be crunching with the circle motion. Completing the circle motion bring your arms back up over your head remember to fully extend your torso as you do so. Posted by hlongvall on Aug. 01, 2008 at 09:35PM |

Using the ballI love to use a ball when doing abs. My faves are: 1. holding the ball bewteen your feet, arms and legs outstreched, bring your arms and legs up towards each other and transfer the ball to your hands, then flatten out again. Repeat, transferring the ball to your feet again. This should be done SLOWLY! If you swing the ball up, you're not actually working your abs. 2. With the ball between your feet and your legs extended up into the air, drop your legs from one side then the other, trying to keep your shoulders on the ground and not dropping your legs. The motion should be slow and controlled - this one is tough! 3. With the ball between your feet and legs straight up in the air, rotate the ball like you are moving a steering wheel. Careful to keep both feet on the ball and only rotate as far as is comfortable. 4. With the ball bewteen your feet, legs straight out parallel to the ground, and head off the ground, crunch the ball in towards your body squeezing your upper boidy towards your knees and then push it back straight out again. Keep the ball about 2-3 inches from the ground at all times. Also a toughie!

just the average sit-up loli like my good old sit-up, it works, and isn't to complicated, to make a noticable improvement in you flaby pouch, try doing 3 set of 15 sit-ups, and the 5 sets of 10 crunches, you will get an extream, and noticable difference in 3 months, and even 1 month is a big difference, it works well for me lol Posted by thetrout_1994 on Sep. 12, 2008 at 10:34PM |

fave ab exerciseI like the reverse crunch. I can really feel it if I start at a 45 degree angle. Posted by selene0981 on Sep. 24, 2008 at 12:46AM |

fav ab exerciseI like doing Crunches on the Exercise ball. You can feel it all throughout your body because you have to balance yourself on the ball as well. Posted by jens_gym on Jan. 08, 2009 at 07:34PM |

Also crunches / sit upsI like any ab exercise that has the word Crunch or Sit Up in them Crunches, Reverse Crunches, Twist Crunches, Decline Crunches etc. Since recently i also started to do Sit ups with weights and this works great Also love dumbbell side bends Posted by 4Tricky on Jun. 25, 2010 at 01:36AM |

Definitely the side plank and reach under.
3 sets and 5-10 reps does the work. Posted by lingo10 on Jul. 26, 2010 at 12:02PM |

I'm a fan of . . .the plank. I love that extreme shake you get when you have to hold your own weight in place. It just works for me. I'm also a fan of dancing my abs into shape. Posted by dangerous_madam on Jul. 27, 2010 at 11:55AM |

Walk-down planks...Toes on a step benchtop (about 2-3 inches off the ground), elbows under your shoulders, and you walk down with each foot, alternating feet, concentrating on not bouncing. That'll get your abs burning. :) Posted by litehope on Jul. 28, 2010 at 06:16AM |

Decline crunchI love the decline crunch. You can really feel all of the abodminals working and then it gives you a good range of motion to work against. It does allow for cheating though. Posted by lorf30 on Oct. 23, 2011 at 11:17PM |
