Okay, I did two sets of eight each leg. It worked EVERYTHING! Trying to balance worked all the core muscles, worked my shoulders trying to stay in the pike and really worked the glute on BOTH legs

Did anyone else try these last night?

I tried them just to see if I could do them - I CAN - so today I'll go for actual numbers.

Well, I'm impressed. When I work lower body this afternoon, I'll try; however, it could be too big an embarassment for me to report back.

Oh well, I've pulled my hamstring and won't try these tonight.
Catherine...if you are doing the P90X rotation, you will be surprised that you CAN do them. I remember having hard time with these when Cathe first came out with them and then I went to the P90X for several months. One of the first things I noticed when I added these back in (regular pikes) was that I flew right up into a pike...I'm sure due to the Ab Ripper. My core was MUCH stronger than I remembered. SOOOOOO give it a try. You may surprise your self!!!!

So I know you can.

Leg Lift On The Ball...incredible exercise! I will be doing these on a routine basis. Anyone who is struggling to gain core strength needs to do this move.
My two youngest dd's were trying to do this. They can do pikes on the ball, little kids are nothing but muscle afterall, they struggled with this one and kept falling off to the side when bringing their leg back down...and I do think that is the hardest part of this move...keeping your balance on the downward motion.
This is really different! Gotta love it!}( }(
