    Getting Bored with Ab Routine

    I do 15reps and 2-3sets of each of the following:

    Crunches
    Crunches on the ball
    Bicycles
    A coupe Pilates moves
    and Oblique crunches

    Everything is getting easy for me. Should I just add weight? Any other exercises I could be doing?

    Doing them isn't going to make me slender, just tighten my muscle. Can't spot reduce.

    Add weight.

    I dont like to use alot of ab exercises that involves adding weight because I think it just makes your abs even bigger and having a bigger stomach. Keep the waistline small by switching it up by doing mostly free weight exercises like leg raises, cable crunches (only ab exercise i use that involves weight), Vertical bench crunches, reverse crunches, leg tucks, stomach vacuums. Heres what I did on my abs yesterday (different from yours):

    Vertical Bench 2x25
    Cable Crunches 2x25 (hold on last rep for 10 secs, kills my abs)
    Roman Chairs 2x25
    Vacuums for 5 minutes
    LIFT HARD, LIFT SMART, LEAVE EDUCATED!!!

    Ditch the so called bicycles. What are you doing for lower abs? No seated leg raises?

    Do the roman sit ups with weights and seated let raises. Then 6 weeks later cycle back to crunches.

    You might want to do the rope pull down for your serratus too. 2 exercises is enough. The fewer the less bored you'd become just make every rep strict and apply is with the maximum pressure. Its not the number of reps but the intensity you apply. The 100 sit ups adage is a joke. Thast for the girls who keep trying to fruitlessly to get a 6 pack.

    I only work abs once a month.
