The worst part was the ab work which bothers me cause in the past I have out lasted friends in ab work, but the problem is my neck. It was really hurting my neck today. I don't pull on my head at all, but I had a hard time even coming up because my neck was so sore. Hopefully a day off will help. Steve, there are some tricks to help your neck when doing ab floorwork. Hold a towel in both hands behind your neck to support it. Or, pretend you have a grapefruit or orange under your neck to maintain the correct angle. Or, keep your head up (rather than pointing towards the floor) and look to the ceiling as you come up. Think about relaxing your neck while doing ab work. Good luck! Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 It's good to hear that you are liking this tape better Steve Floorwork is definitely tough. I see that Elena gave you some great tips about your neck, but I also wanted to add that the stronger your abs get the less stress will be put on your neck. My neck used to get sore too, but now it barely ever does and I believe that is because of form and simply because my abs are stronger. Darcy who did EVERY set and REP in the touch your toes part in AL5 FINALLY - YA-HOO!!! It has taken nearly a year, but I did it!! > Well, I complained about the Live! 4 pack advanced the other day so > today I did it again! It was much better this time.

I still struggle a great deal with floorwork, but I'm pretty sure that's because I usually avoid it. You must have been so proud once you realized that it was almost over and you still had something left! > > Jenni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
