I have to second that. Those Lotte Berks don't agree with me. I need

to get rid of mine. They're taking up space, and I'll probably never

do them again.

hi donna and darcy - i previewed hip hugger abs some time ago and

agree with donna and her doctor.

sure the workout looks like lots of great ab workout without

crunches, but the method has you maintain a pelvic tilt through

the whole thing and i wondered if it would hurt my lower back.

i cant recall if i actually did the workout or not... i dont

think that i did because i was too worried about it.
