Done!
Is it weird that the leg lifts hurt my hip flexors?? I finally felt like I was getting stronger and now that hurts when I go to start the lifts?? I really like the criss-crosses though, hoping they will go to work on the muffin top

Usually I feel the top of my thighs get tight when I'm doing the leg lifts, but not my hip flexors. What that happens it usually means I need to focus more on my abs to make sure they're doing the work, not my legs. Maybe it's something similar for you?

Yeah I think you're right; it's mostly just when I'm trying to pull them up to get started, my abs aren't quite strong enough to pull off the floor or something. I think I'll try bending them like reverse crunches to get them off the floor and then straighten and lift from there.

Sounds like a good approach. It's a big circle - you need to do the exercises to strengthen your abs, but sometimes you already need some ab strength to do the exercise properly.

Done! I can definitely feel these but I like it! The criss crosses are tough and I am glad I only had six to do this morning, lol.

[lovetruly2015]

Done

B/b: nothing really but I am starting to wonder if im doing any if this right but since my stomach is hurting im gonna go with yes.

[LadyNymeria]

Done!

B/B: Still hate the reverse crunches the most.

[butlerfan]

Feeling somewhat better today so I did what supposed to be done on Monday. Still behind but will catch up again.

[Daikoku]

I had to scroll up to see if I had responded already.

[dashook]

I got this done last night!

Hope I'm not confusing anyone too much by responding now. Doing it at the end of the day makes it tough to respond in a timely fashion! I want to switch back to mornings but then I'd be doing the days less than 12 hours apart :/ It's a pickle alright.
