Pretty good! I can see your favorite is going to be crunches :) Since you enjoy that so much, I'll give you my basic ab routine if you want to try it:

--Lying knee lifts
--Lying leg lifts
--Leg-overs (legs held together vertical over head, lower once to each side w/o touching ground)
--Crunches
--Twisting crunches, left (right knee bent in crunch position, left leg straight, left arm held behind head in crunch position with right arm resting on chest, sit up with left arm reaching towards right knee)
--Twisting crunches, right
--Russian twists (hold legs just off ground, head just off ground, clasp hands at stomach and twist arms to each side w/o head or legs touching ground)
--V-ups (crunches combined with knee raises w/o head or legs touching ground)

Try a small number of reps/sets to start with :)

Ouch, ouch, ouch. I hate abs. Just reading that list makes me hurt.

We're working on just generally improving my strength all over, plus, um, making the curves look better. Once I've got some power in my muscles I'll be ready to try something that nuts. I think it'll be good. Eventually. Well... we'll see.
