Whenever possible, add resistance to your ab exercises with weight. Most people increase the load on exercises for major muscle groups but they don't on ab exercises. That's a mistake. Think ankle weights for leg raises or a 45-pound plate for crunches as shown here.
Tip: Plate Crunch
Abs respond better to weighted exercises, like this one, which is also called the prisoner crunch.
