• Raised Knee Crunch and Oblique Ab Exercises - lie on a mat with your hands on the frame, with your feet flat on the floor and with your head against the head pad.  Keeping your knees together and back flat, curl your legs up (and to the side for oblique) with your thighs at a 90° angle to your back.  Raise your shoulders to about 45° and then lower them back down to the mat.  This is a more challenging workout position, but worth it.
