Welcome to the site and good luck with your program.
There are many types of ab exercises and I would say the best on to start with would be crunches. Do them very slowly
and if you have access to a gym, do them on a decline. TRy and aim for 10 reps when you can do ten, move it up to 12 .
After a few weeks you might want to increase the decline.
Another good way is on an exercise ball.
But remember if you do them too fast they don't benefit.
Hope this helps. Good Luck
