Ht. 5'7, Wt. S: 153 N: 147 G: 130 - Hey everyone, I was wondering, does anyone know any really good ab excercises that don't strain your lower back? Cuz I have a really sensitive lower back and the only thing I can do for abs without totly killing my back for the next couple weeks is crunches. But thoes only focus on one set of ab muscles doesn't seem to be toning my stomach as much as I want too. Also, my problum areas really seem to be my stomach and back. Like, my legs, butt and arms are toned and totly fine, but I can't seem to get rid of my back and tummy fat. I know you can't spot reduce, but does anyone know if theres a reason for this?

you might want to try doing pilates. that really works out your abs. i just got the mtv pilates dvd and its main focus is on the abs.
