I don't do the...regular situps (not sure what they're called)....when I do sit ups I do reps of different types of sit ups....and between each rep...which is usually 25-50 I stretch my tummy...you lay flat put your arms straight over your head...

I flex my stomach muscles while sitting or standing when I hurt my self so that my muscles wont get use to not working out and flab out on me...but I been walking around my block 3 times a day. Its not much but till my leg is fully healed i dont want to take any chances of hurting it worse.

You could try yoga or pilates. I do pilates myself and it is quite a good workout without overstraining yourself.
