Perform 10 to 15 repetitions on one side before switching the dumbbell to the other side. Complete three sets total.
Standing Knee Crunches
Knee crunches primarily work the rectus abdominis and the transverse abdominis. Stand in a split-stance position with your hands clasped together above your head.

Lower down until your thighs are parallel with the floor and clasp your hands behind your head. With control, lower your right elbow as far as you can toward your right thigh. Return to the starting position; then lower to the left side. Complete three sets of 20 crunches on each side.
