Answer 2

Add this to your exercises: The Stomach Lift (Uddyiana Bandha)
This is considered one of the very essential yoga exercises. The stomach lift really consists of two separate exercises:
First exercise. While standing with your feet about a foot apart and your knees slightly bent, lean forwards a little from the waist and place your hands just above your knees.

Inhale deeply by pushing your abdomen forwards, and then exhale by pushing your stomach in. Don't take another breath; instead, push in your stomach even more, so that it becomes hollow, and hold your breath for about ten seconds.

Second exercise. Do the same as above but, instead of holding your stomach in after exhaling, rapidly push your stomach in and out ten times without taking another breath.

Stand up straight and resume normal breathing.

Benefits: This drill massages and tones up the internal organs in the abdominal area. It also massages the heart, making it a stronger, more effective pump. It tones up the nerves in the solar plexus region and reduces abdominal fat while strengthening the abdominal muscles.

Answer 3

There are a lot of different ab exercises. Just to name a few:
crunches, reverse crunches (sitting up with knees bent, lean back as far as you can without hurting your back and sit back up), Planks (get into a pushup position only on elbows and toes, hold for 30 sec. rest and repeat), trunk twists...and many more.

Answer 4

Body crunches..lay on your back on the floor and instead of lifting your head to your knees..do the opposite. Slowly :)

Answer 5

Try Pilates (Louise Soloman's DVD "Yogalates" is excellent)! It really works at getting your core in shape;)
