AnswerHello Salman!
It is nice to hear from you again. The following are different exercises that might be easier. Please remember that deciding to get healthy is a lifetime commitment. When you stop working certain muscles they turn to flab eventually.
Head Lifts
Lie on your back with your arms at your side. Bend your knees and keep your feet are flat on the floor. Inhale and relax your abdomen. Exhale slowly as you lift your head. Inhale as you lower your head.
Shoulder Lifts
Use the same procedure as the head lifts, only lift both your head and shoulders off the floor. When you are comfortable with this, progress to the curl-ups.
Curl-ups
Use the same procedure as with the shoulder lifts. This time reach your arms as you slowly raise your torso to about a 45 degree angle (halfway between your knees and the floor ). If you prefer you can cross your arms on your chest with your hands on your shoulder or you can place your palms on your ears or behind your head. To prevent injury, never pull forward on your neck. Do up to 25 repetitions.
Abdominal Crunch
These are great for strengthening the abdominal muscles and reducing a protruding stomach. Lie on the floor. Hold your legs at a 90-degree angle with your lower legs parallel to the floor. (You can also place your legs over a bench or a piece of furniture.) With arms at your side (or on shoulders or behind ears as in the curl-ups), inhale slowly as you raise your shoulder off the floor, forcing your chest muscles toward your legs. Pull your hips upward, hold for a second, then exhale slowly and roll down to the starting position. Do up to twenty-five repetitions.
Reverse Curl
This helps strengthen the lower abdominal muscles and reduce a protruding stomach. Lie on the floor. Bend the knees, place the feet flat on the floor, and place arms at sides. Pull the knees to the chest, raising the hips off the floor; do not let the knees go past the shoulders. Keep your head in a neutral position. Slowly return to starting position. Exhale as you pull your knees toward your chest; inhale as you return to starting position. Repeat until fatigued.
