    I did it yesterday and while I agree it does work your hips, I can tell you that my abs are screaming today. They definately got worked. Especially my upper abs. Maybe I have really weak abs, or really strong hip flexors so I got to work my abs... :laugh: Yeah, I'll assume that.

    I like Ab Ripper, but I wish it put more emphasis on core strength and abs and less on the hip flexors. I like to mix Ab Ripper with another ab circuit I put together to fill in the holes that I think Ab Ripper doesn't hit. If you're interested, here's that circuit:

    Bicycle Crunches - 30 (hits upper and lower abs as well as obliques)
    Prone Cobra - 60-90s (hits the lower, middle and upper back as well as the glutes...none of which ever get touched by Ab Ripper)
    Side Raises - 15 each side (hits pretty much all the core muscles with emphasis on the obliques)
    Swiss Ball Jackknife - 15 (hits upper and lower abs as well as the rest of your core)
    Plank (Elbows & Toes) - 60-90s (hits pretty much every muscle in your core)

    Ab Ripper is more challenging than this circuit, but this circuit hits areas that Ab Ripper does not.


    Thanks for this info!!
