Try these roll ups on a foam roller.  They will help to build abdominal strength. Begin the exercise by lying down on your back on the roller.  Plant your feet flat on the floor.  Make sure that it is placed vertically along your spine.  Stretch your arms out straight so that they are perpendicular to your body.  Your abs, your thighs and your glutes should be clenched as you roll up until your body is at a 45 degree angle with the floor.
