@GVOTW Exercise & eating healthy. It's really as simple as that, you just have to be consistent. It also helps to have a structured workout program set in place so that you know when to do what exercises & when to do cardio, etc. I can't post a link here but on our website we have a 60 day program that is meant to help people get in shape fast. It's a challenging program but during that 8 week program you could easily lose 16-24 pounds & will definitely be more toned. - Kelli
I only had one problem with whole thing. During the jack knives you said our lower back should be completely flat on the mat the whole time. That's my main problem, I am not able to do that for some odd reason. I even stopped and tried to push my back down and there was still a gap between the floor and my back. Maybe it's because I am a girl but will this effect that move? Will I get the same out come, besides the fact that that move is impossible by itself. lol
@RatherBaAnime I would suggest that you try the easier version of the jackknife crunch (Level 1). You can find the demonstration video on our website. The biggest difference is that you bend your knees so that it takes some of the demand off of your abs, which makes it easier to keep your back flat. Doing the motion with your back off of the mat can end up in back injury. Let me know if that helps or if you have more questions. -Kelli
@FitnessBlender Yes, that version helped me. I was able to keep up with the video too. Thank you so much. I do have another question but I don't know if you'd be able to answer it. When I do the crisscross crunch my hips pop the entire time. Am I doing them correctly, I don't let my knees go passed my hips. Maybe it's just my hips.
@RatherBaAnime It's okay if your hips pop during that movement, as long as there's no pain associated with the popping. It's just tendons & ligaments sliding around. Mine do it too!
I love your videos :D
