    Abdominal exercises
    What are some effective ab exercises that don't require me to get on the floor?

    This one you don't have to get on the floor, just the couch or a bench!
    Lie on a couch or bench, that allows your back to hang off freely, place your calves, on the top the couch (or wall), at a 90 degree angle, Place your hands behind your head, raise your head and shoulders toward your knees, keep back rounded, with a 2-4 inch travel, Raise pelivs and round your back as you curl your torso up toward your knees, Hold 2-3 seconds, 15-25 reps.

    Sit upright on a chair, cross arms on chest, lightly contract your abs muscles, Hold 5 seconds. Rotate to your left as far as possible, kepping hips, square forward, Once you have reached your end range, hold position 5 seconds, Return to starting position, repeat on right side, 2 sets, 15-20 reps, work up to 3 sets, 20-25 reps

    Standing upright, lightly contract your abs and hold 5-10 seconds, Bending at waist, sliode your left hand as fat down the side of your left leg as possible, without tilting forward or backward---hold--- Slowly pull your body back up, Repeat on right side 2 sets, 15-20 reps, work up to 3 sets, 20-25 reps.

    Try these, if you need more--have about 5 more great ones!
