I dont know what Im doing wrong, I just dont feel it. It hurts some but I think its from the fatrolls meeting in the middle? I dont know if Im supposed to rest on the hip, straight on the side or on the hip partly on my butt?

Ive don Ab ripper x and this move is very similar to a move Tony uses, but the tempo is way faster, maybe thats why im confused. Anybody else?

    If I am thinking of what you're talking about, I believe she does that move more for your tricepts than your abs, which could be why you're not feeling it as much.

    The one where you bring your armpit up to your knees? i always found that one awkward, and it hurts the hip that digs into the floor so I tend to rock more on my butt but that doesn't feel right either.
  • I also find it award and that it hurts my hip that is on the floor. So, I put a towel down that I have folded in half twice to add some more cushion. It is definitely a side crunch type of move to work the obliques.

    It hurts my hip too, which is why I also put a towel down because I work out on hard floors half of the time.

    But, I didn't feel anything in the abs until the NEXT day. Then, the obliques were SORE!

    I'm finding a lot of the moves that I don't think are doing anything actually kill me the next day. Weird.
