To begin, use a cushioned rubber mat to lay on. Wear comfortable clothing, which will allow you to move without restriction.

Start with your basic crunches. You can either place your hands behind your head, or leave them at your sides.

If you choose to use your hands, do not pull your head up with them. Touch your head only very lightly, and do not use your arm muscles to help you pull.

Do about thirty more crunches, keeping your legs as straight as you can. If the sting in your abs begins to be too much, try lowering your legs a bit, or bending slightly at the knee.
