I like to do crunches in three ways:

 

1. Lie on back, with feet off the floor, legs bent so knees are above chest. Hands behind head. Lift head down to upper chest off floor 10 to 12 inches by curling up with abdominal muscles - don't pull on head. This works upper abdominals.

 

2. Lie flat on back, with knees bent but feet on floor. Use abdominals to lift feet off the floor, bringing knees up to almost touch chest. Lower the feet back to the floor SLOWLY. This works lower abdominals.

 

3. Lie on floor as for position 2. Lift head off floor and use abdominals to twist to the side. This works the obliques.

 

These work for me. I've heard that using a Swiss ball (that large ball thingie referred to in an earlier post) is very good, but I've yet to try it.
