Lie face-downward on the floor; two hands meet at the back of head, fingers interlocked; try to lift your upper body (head down to hip) as high as possible while your lower body sticks to the floor; inhale while lifting, exhale when returning to the floor. Try to do it at the same amount of situp.
I used to do a college football workout back in the day, we used to do something similar to this for back muscles. We called it a superman, you sprawl out on the floor and lift your chest, and pelvis off the floor to a point where you look like you're flying like superman. About 3 reps of 20/30 should work.
