    I highly recommend the hanging knee raise and work into the hanging leg raise.

    you need something to hang from tho, like a pull up bar. To make it easier on yourself you would want to get slings to put your arms through so you don't actually have to grip the bar.
    If you've never done it before, though, and you're a woman, be warned... you might really, really like it a whole lot. :bigsmile: And you might have jello legs and feel sleepy when you walk away from the machine. I strongly prefer not to do these when training with my coach (as he's a young man); that might be awkward.

    Do a search on Standing Pilates. Some of the Blogilates exercises are done standing up.

    I sit on the edge of a chair, hands on head and go elbow to opposite knee about 100 reps a couple times a night during commercials.

    superman planks
    russian twists
    decline sit upts on the bench?
    cable crunchs
    hanging leg raises
    plank up downs
    weight drags
    mountain climbers
    push ups variations- single leg- moving- jumping- walking- turn over push ups
    side bends with weight
