    I haven't got to that stage yet but when I was doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred she focused on the pouch a bit and loads of different ab moves...one was where you lay on your back lift both legs straight up and roll so your bum comes of the ground...it kills after just a couple for me. Good luck

    Ahhh thats horrible, my bf has the same problem! (but because of skateboard accident...so prob not that similar lol) The planks in the shred kill my wrists so you could skip them and do the stomach exercises until you find something to strengthen them.

    You could do the plank each time instead - resting on your forearms. Still a killer!!

    Doing push ups on your fists might help the wrist problem. Same concept as using push up bars but free. It changes the way the weight is applied to your wrist and might alleviate the problem.

    Also make sure you drink tons of water and keep your sodium below 1500 a day.
