Ab exercises to cancel out a "cheat"

10 different exercises w/ 15 reps:

1. Regular crunches but w/ legs straight out (15)
2. Side crunching - stay flat on back w/ legs straight out, left hand supporting neck, right arm sweeps up above head then down reaching for right ankle as you crunch to the side (the crunching motion will be side to side w/ no upward movement) (15 each side)
3. Knee crunch + reach crunch - Right leg stays straight, crunch left knee & right elbow up together, down then crunch straight left foot up while reaching w/ right arm. That is one, do 15 on each side.
4. Bicycle crunches - Right side then left side counts as one. Keep this slow and controlled (15)
5. Plank w/ raised leg - Plank on elbows, lift right leg for 15 seconds then switch and hold left leg for 15 seconds. Do 30 seconds if its too easy.
6. Mountain climbers - Plank on hands, lift right foot to lightly touch in lunge position (upper body stays in plank, don't let your butt go up), switch to left foot. Both sides together count as 1. (15)
7. Side plank w/ hip kisses - Side plank on right elbow, lower hip so it "kisses" the mat, then use side abs to pull hips back up to plank. Do this 15 times and switch and do 15 the other side.
8. Leg lift and opens - Lie on back w/ legs straight, hands under your lower back for support. , lift up legs so you are in L and use lower abs to lift hips off hands (keep this controlled and non-jerky), lower legs til almost touching ground (about 30 degree ankle is ideal), then swing them open and together. (15)
9. Rowing the boat - Sit in boat position w/ legs together and bent, lower upper body back so your back is 45 degrees to the floor. With hands in prayer position, twist your upper body and "row" your elbows on each side. Each side is 1. (15)
10. Double crunches - Lie with legs crossed loosely at ankles, crunch your lower body up while crunching your upper body so your knees touch your elbows. (15)
