Traditional Crunches

• Traditional crunches strengthen the core stomach muscles in your body. Crunches are one of the most basic and effective exercises you can do and the familiarity of crunches may help you complete them more effectively. To start your crunches, lie on your back. Bend your knees and hips at a 90-degree angle. Tighten your abdominal muscles as you raise your head and upper back off the floor. When you raise your upper body off the floor, cross your arms over your chest. You should only raise your upper body as much as you can without being in pain.
  
  

Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises

• The pelvic muscle stretches across the floor of the pelvis area in the lower abdominal cavity. The pelvic muscle helps support the pelvic organs and bladder. To strengthen your lower stomach muscles, lay down on your back, bending your knees. There should be some space between your knees. Close your eyes to concentrate on your muscle movements. Imagine you are holding back urine and hold the muscles in place. Hold for a few seconds and then release your muscle hold. Repeat this exercise 10 times or until the pelvic muscles feel tired.
