I'm doing the P90X workout..and the ab ripper is almost impossible for me to do. I'm only in my first week, but I feel like its going to be useless to me since I can barely do any of the ab exercises in ab ripper. Is this normal for it being my 1st work? I'm trying to get rid of my pudgey belly! haha - especially by late June since I'll be on vacation then! Any ideas?:happy: :happy: :happy :-D

    I could hardly get through it in the beginning. As a matter of fact, I think I turned it off the first time I tried it, lol.... Now I try to do it at the BEGINNING of the workout instead of the end, I have more engery and can keep up better. I am starting week 8 on Saturday, it gets easier ( not easy, just easier) as you go on :smile: Good Luck!

    Haha...thanks... I never thought of doing it before the other workout..But its not that I dont have the energy to do.. its just its hard for me to do a lot fo those exercises on there cuz I dont have alot of core muscle.. I sure hope doing this workout increases that! How is your workout coming along? Are your results good?

    Here is what I am trying to do ... I was just like you ... the Ab Ripper killed me and I could hardly do half of the exercises. I think I burned more calories laughing at myself.

    Now I focus on doing FIVE good reps of every exercise... thats it... and when I can do that ... I will increase it to six and seven. Success will come with time... :)

    I LOVE the workouts! I haven't lost as much weight as I would like, but it is coming off (my clothes are getting baggy). I am a little obsessed with this website and working out right now, but when I look at my arms and see muscles I am very motivated to keep at it!

    Your core muscles will strengthing as you go through the workouts. It won't take too long before you see results.
