Hi. I'm working on getting my body summer ready.
I don't really need to loose weight, just get into shape. Flatten the tummy, that sorta thing.
I want a flatter stomach, but I can't do a crunch because I have back problems. What are some exercises I can do to get it flatter?
Thanks.

try doing "Core" excersises. Such as:
bycicle: lay on your back and move one elbow to the opposite knee. then move the other elbow to your other knee. repeat that around 20 times.
Plank: lay flat on your stomache, and lift yourself up as if you were going to do a push up. but don't go back down, keep yourself up for 20-30 seconds. Trust me, You will feel a burn.
V-up: Take a ball with your hands and try to reach your feet with it. Make a V-Shape and hold that for 20 seconds.

some exercises without doing crunches for stomachs are-
lay down on back, hold onto something heavy so you won't squirm around (chair, table ect.) then lift both of your legs off the ground so your body is at a 90 degrees angle. then slowly rest them down to the floor. do about 25 and repeat 5 times.
another one is lay in a sit-up position, then come up as if you were doing sit ups, and make 1 hand touch your foot. ex- left arm touches left foot... right arm touches left foot.

while exercise is hard to stick to, a healthy diet doesn't take much energy (although it's hard not to give in to temptation) but it's also a key to a flat stomach. if you limit food such as: chips, fries, ice cream, chocolate, pie, cookies, cake, peanut butter) and replace them with any type of fruit, that should help. if you can't do crunches you'll probably lose weight through the eating healthy thing, but you'll get a flatter stomach too. if you like to exercise, anything cardiovascular mixed with healthy foods will do the trick. running especially. long distances pretty much guarantee it.
