Anyone know any good torso/abdominal strength/muscle exercises that are hard to fuck up? I walk a lot, but my torso is basically a sack of flab. I’ve always been fat, but I used to have a layer of muscle underneath, back when I did a bunch of crunches every day. Then I did something to hurt my back and got some kind of respiratory crud and stopped exercising for awhile.

Getting off my ass and walking again was relatively easy. But I can’t figure out a foolproof, self-injury proof way to exercise my upper body with my bulgy belly in the way. I don’t want to damage myself—I’m a klutz and also not real flexible—trying to get back in shape.

Vertical leg lifts work the lower abdominal muscles.

You can tighten your core while you walk by being more aware of your posture and engaging your core muscles. Pilates would give you a good foundation for learning this.

I get zero response from planks but pain, so I do leg drops. or vertical leg lifts whatever they're called. lay flat, legs straight up, lower them almost but not quite to the floor, and back up to vertical. someone also suggested reverse situps, which I've never been able to find how to do but apparently it's a bit lower-impact than crunches, something about bringing the legs up rather than bringing your upper body toward your legs.

I honestly have no idea how planks are supposed to work, all I get is back pain from them.
