How to increase abdominal muscle strength?

Hi y'all. I was trying to do a yoga video that I checked out from the library and I now realize I have no abdominal strength at all. I couldn't even do the easiest move of rolling back to a horizontal position without using my hands to hold on to my knees. I was suppose to use only the abdominals.

There were various moves where I was suppose to hold a postion with my head up and legs out. I couldn't lift my body off the floor! Just strained my neck up...nothing else went up.

Is there anyway to increase abdominal strength when I can't even do the easiest ab exercise to get off the floor? I have like nothing. Can't even get close to doing a sit-up.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
