To add resistance to your workout, curl your upper back and shoulders so that your torso does not round. This is an effective abs exercise that is suitable for anyone of any fitness level.
The dead bug exercise is an excellent choice for beginners because it is easy on the back and neck. Begin by bending your knees at 90deg. Next, lower your left arm and extend your right leg.

Once you have mastered this exercise, you can add more to your abs routine by varying the weight and difficulty of the exercises.
