I ride the same, 40 miles RT. Sit-ups help me a lot. Rest between sets. Be sure the flatten your back (including lower) onto the floor. I do four sets of 25 reps. Deep knee bends. I do a set of 25 and then a set of 50. Stand and touch toes. Couple sets of 25.
Everybody is different. Learn what works for you personally.
