I hate sit ups and crunches.
I do outstretched arm planks[1.5 minutes x 3]
and
overhead leg raises [ I do mine with 5 lbs ankle weights 15 x 3 sets]
with very good results.

Great article! Years ago, I was doing crunches and getting MORE GUT although it was harder and firmer. Then I learned exercises that eliminated all my achy back issues while improving my posture. I pulled my stomach in by strengthening my back. When I had to relocate my store to a second floor, lugging hundreds of bins up stairs, I used those same exercises to prevent my back from straining.

Deb, I do the same thing as you. I haven't actually done crunches in years. The Plank not only works the abs it also works the arms...win win for me.
