Here's a new exercise I did for my step class this week. It worked great and you can do this at home if you have one of those big exercise balls.
Wall Crunch and Twist
Works center of abs, obliques
Sit on the ball facing the wall, then lie back so the middle to small of your back is resting on the ball. Place your feet hip-width apart on the wall with your knees bent to 90 degrees; cross your hands over your chest (A). Curl up and twist through the waist to the right (B), return to center, and curl down. Alternate to twist left. That's one rep; do 8 to 15.

Happy crunching!
