What exercises are good for the stomach/abdominal muscles apart from sit ups?
No matter how many times I have been taught to do situps, i always pull myself up with my neck instead of stomach, so want to try something different to tone them up

Have taught Yoga fo over 30 years and I always say to my students 'Don't confuse the abdominal fat with the abdominal muscles' Some of them have noticeable fat but beneath it lie strong muscles, others are flat as a pancake in that area but have the weakest ab muscles going. Interestingly my class this morning practised the exercise Squitty posted about. I have taught it for years, they did the side ones as well with a good success rate :o)
I have read several times that the best thing for the abdomiinal muscles is to exhale and then pull the muscles in towards the spine and hold for at least forty seconds, then repeat. (And repeat and repeat I suppose)
This is supposed to work whether sitting straight up or standing, but better on all fours.
It is also supposedly good for the back muscles.
