You don't need to do full sit-ups. Do crunches instead and only go up to where you start to feel the pull of your abs then hold it there for a couple seconds. But make sure you are keeping your back and neck straight so that you don't injure yourself in the process.\n\nIf you HAVE to do full sit-ups make sure you are doing them correctly. Back and neck straight. You might want to consult a personal trainer to show you the proper technique.

SIT UPS SIT UPS AND MORE SIT UPS!  start low and increase day by day.. \n\nanother way, lay on your back, arms to the side, palms flat on the ground.. Keep your legs together and straight.. Lift your legs up to a 45 deg angle off the ground... keep it there for 5 minutes.. IT KILLS BUT do 3 sets each day.. \n\nalso, if you are skinny... you may need food! so eat soemthing full of carbs.. then do the sit ups

do lots of push ups, for example if u can only do 10 at 1st, then keep doing 10 until its easy. then go for 15 then 20 and so forth. do the same with sit ups as well

You need to do more than a treadmill. The treadmill is only working your legs. Do some situps or some other exercise that uses your stomache and side muscles.

Do leg lifts while you're sitting.  Tighten up your abs, hold them for a few seconds, then release them and do it repeatedly.

cruches. Do normal cruchches and sit ups for a week. The do them on a decline for another week. then add weight when doing your decline situps and cruches. You may want to do obique cruches (situps leaning to one side.) that way your whole abdominals will be ripped. If you don't like situps or crunches try getting a ab-lounge. You'll want to eat healthy food vegtables, fruits and some grains. depending on what you weigh you'll want to take in about 200 grams of protein. Going for a jog or cycling would be agood idea to.

I suggest sit ups. Put your toes under the edge of a something that wont move easy like a couch or stuffed chair (It should be 1 to 2 inches off the floor) bend your knees about 45 degree angel lock your hands behind your head lay back and start to do sit ups. Don't over do it! Do as many as you can do up to 20 no less than 2 times a day. You can start your day with them, and then before bed. You can do them more often. If you cant do 20 your mussels will more than likely be sore when you first start. Speed is not important use your stomach mussels to raise up and let your self down.

Definitely sit ups, another thing you can do is pushus, yeah sounds weird but it does help somehow, you can also do this one exercise were you lay flat on your back, then putyour arms andhands flat on the ground as well, and keep them right by your sides without moving them and you lift you legs up 6 inches or a foot, the less you raise them the better the work out cause it really constricts and tightens up your lower abdomen muscles, well you lift your legs up striahgt together and then out them down the same way, don't bend your knees, don't let them drop, and do about 20 of these and then 30 and then 50 etc. as many as you can do as many reps and you will see some awesome results in a week if you do a lot of reps everyday a few times a day. It's the best thing I can think of, apart from running of course

lying down on mats for all of these\n-roll up: sit w/ knees bent w/ hands behind them 4 support. lean back 45 degrees. contract abs to sit upright but DONT use the help of your arms\n-twisting crunch: hands behind head, legs 6 in. off floor, bring left elbow to right knee while keeping left leg straight. Then move right elbow to left knee & keep right leg straight. do both 20 times while holding for 2 sec. each time\n-put folded towel btw knees. lift leg 45 degrees off floor. Raise head and pulse arms up and down by hips. inhale as you do 5 arm pulses (up & down = 1) and exhale as you do another 5 \nrepeat 8 times.

Sit-ups are good.  Also try doing this sit-up variation—lay on your back, put your hands behind you head, bring you knees up to your chest.  Then stretch one leg out straight (lets say the right one), making sure that it does not touch the floor but remains parallel to it. Leave your left leg bent against your chest.  Take your right elbow across and touch your bent left knee.  Then bring your right leg back up to your chest, stretch out you left leg and take your right elbow across to touch your bent right knee.  This exercises most of the muscles in your chest and abdomen as well as the muscles in your back.

the easiest way to strengthen your abs: for lower abs: lie on your back, and lift both of your legs roughly 10 inches from the ground (or until it starts to hurt real bad, b.c. it will) you can leave your legs at that height, or you can slowly lift your legs up until they are perpendicular to the ground then slowly lower them back to 10 inches and repeat.  to strengthen all your abs: get into push up position, but instead of extending your arms with your hands on the ground, rest your weight on your forearms and stay there for 3 minutes.. after that you'll definately want to stop.  but if you do that several times a day, you'll notice a big difference.

Unweight your front foot, lean on the back one and snap your hips to the side.

Try laying flat on your back and raise your legs until your heels are about 2-3 inches off the floor, and hold them there for as long as you can.  Do it as often as you like but be prepared for sore muscles in you stomach.
