Hi!
I reeeeeeeally need to tone my tummy! But i cannot do sit ups! mainly because they hurt my back (got a slight curve in my spine) but they also hurt my neck and i just generally hate them!
What can i do as an alternative to sit ups to get the toned tummy i want?
Thanks

There are tons of good core exercises out there. However, depending on the other exercises you do, you might not have to spend too much time on abs.
-Planks
-Leg raises
-crunch with one of those big pilates balls while holding a weight (this is actually a really good exercise).
-use one of those wheels0
