Try this exercise to work your abs.

Starting Position - Lying on your back with your feet a comfortable distance away from your bottom, clasp your hands behind your head.

The Move - Bring your upper body up as far as you can. Use only your abdominal muscles, not your neck. Imagine you are pushing your navel into the floor. Lower your body slowly back to starting position. The full move should take you about two counts to do if you are working at a medium pace.

HINT: On the concentric contraction of the crunch breathe out through your mouth and on the eccentric contraction breathe in through your nose.
