Sit-upsThe sit-up is another old favorite in ab routines. It is also for the upper abs but differs from the crunches as it involves the hip muscles as well.
-

-
Jackknife sit-upsThese combine a leg raise and a sit up to work both upper and lower abs simultaneously.
-
Butt-upsThis exercise works the lower back, abdominals, glutes (the butt) and hamstrings. It helps build a solid lower back, which supports you while lifting heavy weights, sports and physical work.
