1.Long-Arm Weighted Crunch 

For working out your upper abs, lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Hold a light dumbbell or weight in each hand and extend your arms straight back past your head. Now crunch your rib cage toward your pelvis, keeping your shoulders still and your arms straight. Don't generate momentum with your arms. Do 12 to 15 repetitions.

2. Seated Ab Crunch 

Sit on the edge of a bench. Grip the edge of the pad and lean back slightly, extending your legs down and away and keeping your heels 4 to 6 inches off the floor. Bend your knees and slowly raise your legs toward your chest. At the same time, lean forward with your upper body, allowing your chest to approach your thighs. Return to the starting position. Do three sets of this workout with 12 reps each time. 

3. Corkscrew 

For lower abs and the obliques, Lie on your back, with your legs raised directly over your hips. Your knees should be slightly bent. Place your hands at your sides with the palms down. Use your lower abs to raise your hips off the floor and toward your rib cage, elevating your feet straight up. Simultaneously twist your hips to the right. Hold, then return to the starting position. Repeat, twisting to the left. Do 10 reps to each side. 

4. Weighted One-Sided Crunch 

For upper abs and the obliques, lie with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, and hold a dumbbell with both hands by your right shoulder. Curl your torso up and rotate to the left. Lower yourself, finish the set on that side, then switch directions and repeat, holding the dumbbell next to your left shoulder. Do 3 sets of eight reps to each side.

5. Kneeling Cable Crunch 

Kneel facing the pulley and hold the ends of a rope attached to the high cable along the sides of your face. Bend forward, aiming your chest at your pelvis. Return to the starting position, then repeat the movement, this time aiming your chest toward your left knee. Return, then repeat to your right. That's one rep. Do three sets of eight reps. It may feel a bit wierd when you this...
