From the perspective of the structure of the abdominal muscles, including the rectus abdominis (up and down), the obliques, and the transverse abdominis, the movements you choose should be able to effectively stimulate the entire abdominal muscles. From the action point of view, it is mainly for the crunch on the upper side of the rectus abdominis, the leg lift for the lower side of the rectus abdominis, and the action of the oblique muscle. Muscle rotation and lateral flexion movements, and vacuum abdominal movements of the transversus abdominis.

If you can't stay steady, you can step on the bottom of your foot.
Keep your body steady, don't sway, keep your lower back close to the ground the entire time, and your abs pull your upper back up as far as you can
Move to the top and stop for a while, feel the contraction of the abdominal muscles, and then actively control the speed to slowly recover
Make sure your lower back is completely close to the ground to complete the movement. When rolling up, don't over-pursue the range of motion. Only do the maximum range within your ability.
