The first abdominal exercise I would recommended is the old-fashioned sit-up. You may remember doing this in school in gym class. Sit-ups work. If it’s been a while, you may want to start with the “sissy” sit-ups.

This easier sit-up starts with lying on your back on the floor, with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Clasp your hands together, behind your neck with elbows facing out. Keeping your feet flat on the floor, pull your upper body up, bringing your elbows forward in front of your face and touch your knees with your elbows. Return to the lying down position and repeat. When starting your program, Begin with 25 sit-ups, increasing the number by 5 every other day. When you can do 50 easily, you’re ready for the harder style of sit-ups. Get more article syndication.
