Ab Ripper seems to be more concentrated on the abs whereas abs/core is more broodly focused on the entire core. IMO, it would be better if it was 15 instead of 20 exercises!<BR/><BR/>Matt- I saw Tom started too. Its always good to have a few of us doing it around the same time! Good luck with Interval X today!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-13359282348914934542008-12-16T06:45:00.000-06:002008-12-16T06:45:00.000-06:00Turns out Tom just started the Plus about a week a...Turns out Tom just started the Plus about a week ago so you might wanna swing over to his website and check it out!!mrmick23https://www.blogger.com/profile/06831490844835084852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-31141131950607789432008-12-16T05:25:00.000-06:002008-12-16T05:25:00.000-06:00Well those stinking L pull ups killed me as well. ...Well those stinking L pull ups killed me as well. I think after we get used to the exercises it will get easier and harder.... Easier b/c we will know exactly what it is we are doing, harder b/c we will be doing more of them. I felt that some of the moves for abs/core were particularly hard to do correctly. I noticed that when I really did them correctly I could feel it alot more. The one where you put the weight behind your foot and up on the shelf(similar to the exercise in Core Synergystics except that your feet are locked) was easy to do wrong I feel. Once I started turning my core all the way around toward my back and acted like i was putting the weight on a shelf behind me it really brought out the burn in the oblique. I started out doing this wrong trying to put it on a shelf to my side..... I guess I feel this way about alot of excercise....they are easy to mess the form up. After a little time I will be A ok though.mrmick23https://www.blogger.com/profile/06831490844835084852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-82871543766599664222008-12-16T03:35:00.000-06:002008-12-16T03:35:00.000-06:00Alright here's my opinions Kenpo Cardio + while po...Alright here's my opinions Kenpo Cardio + while possibly fun to do and better cardio than reg kenpo, not a great WO I'd rather do Plyo. Abs/core+ not hard either, I prefer ARX. The lifting vids I did like BUT I got almost no muscle soreness from them, then again it's pretty hard for my muscles to get sore nowadays. It's good to have the vids to switch out but I could not do a full round of X+. I am mixing it up btwn X and X+ now.JocelynDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585465821365603286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-60892866422885590632008-12-15T22:12:00.000-06:002008-12-15T22:12:00.000-06:00It will be interesting to see what you think of +....It will be interesting to see what you think of +.
