I bought one of those exercise balls that you do crunches on....I swear I love that thing. I can do 100 crunches so much easier. It doesnt hurt my back at all, and you can really feel it in your upper ab area. I also do push ups and squats with it. I start with a Pilates video then move on to abs, push ups, squats and light weight lifting. I also walk alot, since my job is a restaurant manager and I am constantly walking through the restaurant. I know its not a 'real' work out, but it helps. Especially on a busy night when I am practiacally sprinting through the place! I have also cut down on sodas, drink more water, and eat a WHOLE lot better.
