If you dont feel "the burn" lol, then try increasing the ammount of situps you do, weekly. Untill you reach that point where you actually feel it. Then dont go over that ammount untill your body is able to do that many for a period of time.

Hey, if you have one of those exercise balls/yoga balls, you should get on the ball on yur lower back and do sit ups and then flip over on yur stomach and
roll the ball so its right under yur knees and then bring yur knees to yur chest and do like 20 a day or
how many u want its a really good way to work yur abbs. Hope that helped.

I know about working out abs there is something called a stomach vacuum.First,inhale deeply fom your diaphragm,pulling your stomachinward while clenching your butt cheeks to get a tighter squeeze.Second,hold your breath for a five second count,then exhale for ten seconds,releashing the tension.This will train muscles to become shorter,flatter. Do two sets of six reps.Another move called oblique twists hold a weighted body bar or a broom behind your head with toes pointed forward supported by your outstretched arms.First contract your abs slowly twist your torso to the right and left.Second,do three sets of 10 reps.I know this stuff about workout ask me other moves I'll tell you.

There are many ways.
*Toe Touch crunch---Lay down on your back. Put your legs up in the air so your feet are almost above you. Then reach up with both hands and try to touch your toes.**Burns in the middle of your stomach
*Tabletop crunch---Lay down on your back. bend your legs so your knees and feet are in the air at a straight line. Like your sitting in a chair, but the chair turned over. Then do your crunches in that position**Good for lower abs
*Bicycle crunch---same position as tabletop. When you do the crunches, bring your right knee in, and bend your torso so that your left elbow almost meets the knee. Reverse with the left knee and right elbow. **these should really make you burn

try laying down and raising your legs six inches. hold until you feel the burn.
hold yourself up on a bar and bring your legs to your cest. "knee ups"--they are vicious.

You should try doing more than one kind of exercise to get an all over ab workout. There are several varieties of crunches you can try. I'm including a few here for you to try.
Side Crunch
Lay on your back with your knees bent, as if you were setting up for a traditional crunch. Put your feet on the ground, your left hand at the side of your head, and your right on the left side of your midsection. Keeping your knees together as one unit, let them both fall to the right. Make sure you keep your head and chest facing the ceiling. Crunch your chest toward the hip that is facing up. Even though your lower trunk is twisted to one side, crunch your upper torso straight up. When you have completed one set, change your body position to exactly opposite, and do an equal number of repetitions with your knees and lower torso turned to the other side.
Cross Crunch
Lie on your back, knees bent, so your left foot is resting flat on the floor. With your right knee bent, place your right foot across your left knee. Your neck and head should be relaxed with your left hand at the side of your head and your right hand on the left side of your abdominals. Curl your body up with a twisting movement, bringing your left shoulder toward your right knee. "Unwind" as you slowly lower yourself back to the floor—touch your shoulders to the floor and repeat. After completing the set number of reps on the left side, switch to the right side and do the same.
Long Arm Crunch
Lie on a mat and extend the arms straight out behind the head with hands clasped, keeping the arms next to the ears. Contract the abs and lift the shoulder blades off the floor. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps.
Reverse Crunch
Lie on the floor and place hands on the floor or behind the head. Bring the knees in towards the chest until they're bent to 90 degrees, with feet together or crossed. Contract the abs to curl the hips off the floor, reaching the legs up towards the ceiling. Lower and repeat for 12-16 reps. It's a very small movement, so try to use your abs to lift your hips rather than swinging your legs and creating momentum.
Full Vertical Crunch
Lie on your back and extend the legs up towards the ceiling. Place hands behind your head (lightly cupping it) and contract the abs to lift the shoulder blades off the floor. At the same time, press the heels towards the ceiling, creating a 'u' shape with the torso. Lower down and repeat for 12-16 reps.

you should do sum push up, or run a few laps.

There should be a few websites that have a multiple number of workouts for abs. Try the scissor one. Not sure if it has a name or how to explain it well, but you lie on your back, legs straight out, lift them 6-8 inches off the ground, and kinda like criss cross them: right over left, left over right - back and fourth. You could also try using weights to do situps. If you can, find a wight to hold by your chest, arms crossed, and do situps with that. You should start off light, even if it feels too easy. Once you get used to it, try increasing the weight gradually. I'd say to start off with 10-15 lbs, just so you get a feel for it. You don't always have to feel the burn to get a good workout either. Good luck.
