I have this pilates dvd that includes a section for abs. There are some exercies that I can't do at all, no matter how hard I try. I suspect part of it is b/c of the pregnancy. But I'm wondering how to get the strength to be able to do them.<br><br>
One she calls the "rollover" where you lie flat on your back and, using abdominal muscles, roll your legs up and over your head. Another she calls the "teaser" where you sit up in a V balancing on your tailbone and reach your arms to your toes.<br><br>
I am wondering if there are modifications to these exercises? If I keep doing crunches and reverse crunches, will I get the strength to do these things? I'm kind of embarassed that I can't do them.
