Exercise ball crunch:

Lie flat on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the ground, your hands beside your head, and your arms outstretched. Slightly pull your chin toward your chest, exhale, contract your abdominal muscles and lift your upper body about 45 degrees, hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position. To maintain balance, you can spread your feet further apart. To increase the difficulty, do it with your feet together.

Traditional crunch:

Lie on your back with your lower back flat on the floor. Place your hands beside your head and arms open. Lay your legs flat on the ground with your knees bent. Slightly pull your chin toward your chest, contract your abdominal muscles, exhale and lift your upper body, but your lower back should not leave the ground. Hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.

Reverse crunch:

Lie on your back on the floor with your lower back pressed against the ground, your hands on both sides of your body, your legs raised to 90 degrees to your upper body, your legs crossed, and your knees slightly bent. Tighten your abdominal muscles, then exhale and slightly lift your hips and lower back off the ground, hold for 2 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.
