One of the more effective abdominal exercises that you can do is the Plank (aka hover or bridge). Begin the exercise with your toes & forearms on the floor. Forearms should be parallel to avoid rounded shoulders & your back should be straight. Relax the head, look towards the ground & contract your abdominal muscles. If your back begins to hurt raise your hips slghtly, if it still hurts drop to your knees but keep your ab muscles locked on. Aim to hold for 10 seconds to start with & work up to 30, 60 seconds or more.

For a more challenging workout slowly raise one leg 10-20cm off the ground, count to 5-10 seconds & slowly lower the leg. Switch legs & repeat. Aim for 2-3 sets of 10 reps.
