Hi all,
After having my last child by c-section (10 yrs ago), I am left with very little tummy control. Anyone got any beginner exercises that could help. I have tried crunches but really struggle with more than two or three as my tummy area gets sore. Any assistance would be very gratefully received.

Lynn, do you have an exercise ball? I hear that doing certain ab workouts while on the ball can help. Good luck!

Are you getting sore as in pain, or sore as in your abs are at their limit?
If it is because your abs are worn out, you might just have to do a couple until you gain some strength. I know my abs get fatigued quickly, but each day I do abs I feel a difference in strength.
