    If you have a work out ball this is AWESOME for working out your core section!! Start off slow 3 sets of 15 crunches is good to start with then build up from there also, it does not put alot of presure on your lower back by using the ball. And its fun! Hope this helps!

    Simply doing crunches is not going to cut it. Your abdominal muscles have been stretched and are therefore incredibly weak – not only the rectus abdominus that is primarily used in crunches but also the obliques and transversus abdominus. You need to reeducate your core stabilizing musculature, especially your transversus abdominus. This is the muscle that runs around your waist deep to the other abdominal muscles. There is a good website that describes post partum exercise ball exercises that can help you with this:

    You need to start off with some easy exercises until you feel you have control. Then there are tons of other ball exercises on this website as your strength improves.
