Alternate them in this way and do 10-20 reps of each.

2. ''Inverse'' crunches

 Lie on your back with your hands under the buttocks. Lift vertical feet, then bend your knees an angle of 90 degrees. Set the abdomen in a position where you feel that your muscles are tense.

While keeping your knees at the same angle, slowly remove your foot until you reach a few inches from the floor. Then move your knees to your chest and tighten your tummy while doing this. Repeat.
