Yeah, thats a good way to work out a diet. A lot of people jump into trying to follow something 100% from day 1. Instead adjusting 1 or 2 things per week makes it much easier to adjust to.

The hanging knee things. The equipment is called a roman chair. If you bring your knees up to your chest its called a hanging knee raise. You can also keep your legs straight and bring them up in front of you and thats called a hanging leg raise. You can also do them by hanging off a chinup bar instead. All those help make them more challenging.

I have a love/hate relationship with chinups. I really seem to hate doing them. I seem to struggle to 'push through' with them like I can most other exercises. On the other hand, they're just about the best upper body exercise you can do and the results make them all worthwhile.
