I'm not necessarily endorsing her Val Slide thingy, but you can get some ideas from the video (although, that last exercise with the arm movement is very challenging - much more than it looks!).

As soon as the abs are there, I'll post a picture :) Lex - thanks for the exercise hints. I know crunches are hard on the back and I was doing some experimenting with other types of exercises, but so far I didn't find anything good that would work at home so so far I stick with them. I'll try the exercises with the ball - they sound interesting, but in the end, these will probably be leg rises that I will end up with. Cynthia – thanks a lot.

For abdominals, you may want to try things other than crunches, which are actually hard on your back. Some ideas: planks (on hands or elbows), side planks, leg raises (although may have back issues with these), since you have a ball, try: feet on ball, hands on floor, push-up postition, roll the ball toward your chest, bending your legs, then take it back out - it's like a reverse crunch on the ball. Pull ups/chin ups also really work your abs, especially if you pull your knees up at the top. Or you could just do hanging leg raises. I can’t believe that’s you – great work!
