Kathryn!!! Pikes without the balll!!!

[SRP]

Thanks so much for telling me about this exercise! I tried it last night during Core Max 2, and it worked great! I put my toes on those little round things that can help you to slide furniture over the carpet.

Glad it worked for you! Furniture sliders are a great solution.
Keep on piking! LOL!

OOOH, that's a great idea! I don't have any furniture sliders, but I do have a plastic plate that will work!

Can you explain how it's done please? Love to modify when needed, and during pikes, I need to modify.

The idea is to die young as late as possible

Janie - Kathryn told me about this modification because my wrist won't bear the weight when I'm on the ball. So you do this:

Get on your forearms/elbows and toes, as in a plank position. Then pull your toes as far as you can up into the pike position. You need to put your feet on something that will slide across the carpet - the furniture sliders, paper plates, whatever. You won't be able to achieve a full pike like when you're on the ball of course, but trust me, it's effective.
