I'm working to get my body back in shape after a year's illness due to a damaged liver. I used to do crunches for my abdominals, but my doctor does not want me to do any exercise that compresses the abdominal cavity too much out of concern that I may damage my liver further.
Anyone have suggestions for abdominal exercises that don't compress the abdominal cavity too much? Are fitness balls a good option? I have a 65 cm ball that I use to strengthen my core, but my abs are still pretty soft and have no definition.
Thanks for any help.
