Hi Sharon

When you say you can't use your abs, do you mean you struggle lying down (can do effective exercises standing up tensing abs and moving upper body forward 2-3", holding and moving back) or abs in general? Even if you have back probs you should still be able to do abs if you lie down in the correct position (pelvic floor muscles tilted upwards, knees bent and hands touching ears out parallel to the floor) - you only have to move a couple of inches off the floor and back (and to each side) to get really toned if 20-40 done a coupla times a day....

Press ups are best for biceps AND triceps (plus carry a can of beans in each hand, upper arms hanging down straight with lower arms 90 degrees then straighten to ground) - you know the usual stuff.

I'll shut up now
