Sit-ups are another great exercise. Start off with a comfortable number of them, and increase as needed to get a good burn.
Make sure that the majority of the exercise is coming from the abdomen rather than the legs. That tends to diminish the value of the exercise.
Crunches are a more intense version. For a proper crunch, hands should be on the opposite shoulder. You only need to to rise to a 45 degree position, but the exercise burns more calories.
If you want to add weights, hold them chest levels. Crunches are perfect for weights.
Don't think of sit-ups in terms of each one, but in terms of sets. That allows you a great rhythm and allows you to get them done quicker and with less chance of injury.
