Question
What exercise modification of a floor abdominal crunch would you prescribe for an individual who has a bulging cervical disc(s)?

Answer
Richard,

Thank you for you question.  Without knowing the severity of the disc bulge and associated symptoms you may have.  Abdominal crunches may not be the best thing at this point.  I would lean more towards an isometric type exercise for abdominals in your situation.  You can google isometric abdominal exercises and try some that you like.  

I hope you are also getting the appropriate care for your cervical disc problem.

Kind regards,
