Here are some stomach exercises I feel help me.

Some people dont like the full sit up but once done correctly can help your stomach and back strengthen.

Lie flat on your back, arms crossed over chest.

I like to take three small crunches and then lift up to full seated position, only count the big sit up and think of the small crunches as a stepping stone. get 10 sit ups, go for it!

make sure you keep back straight and do not curl your shoulders or scrunch up your neck.

Lie flat on the floor, flex feet and lift up to V position, arms parallel to feet. Repeat 15 times and do two sets.

If you have to start off with one set thats ok, practice makes perfect x

In this diagram you can see the names of the muscles that you are using, I thought it might be of help to some of you.

The twisted sit ups works your obliques to those lovely muscles that both male and female body builders have and look so delish! lol!

Twist your body alternating sides as you rise up in your sit up, I like to go just half way up on this exercise, plus it also helps avoid pulling your neck when you get tired.

 

If any body needs any more help or has any other questions feel free to contact me directly
