I do my first workout B tomorrow and I can see it will be a challenge!
Thank you for the kind words! I had to push myself through the BSS, but I hate them and figured I might as well get the most out of them as possible. I was incorrect on the #4 flexion, it WAS the #3. It is a small move, but I feel like if you make sure to keep your torso perfectly perpendicular to the floor and concentrate on squeezing the top elbow to your hip and pause, you get a really nice contraction in the obliques. Honestly, I think that side planks are a more effective exercise for the obliques, but the Hanna Flexion exercises are a nice change and a lot friendlier. Good luck with your workout B! It is challenging, but completely do-able!

Thank you for letting me know--I'm such a computer moron, I was not aware of that and will try to correct that. Of course, having zero computer savvy, it will probably take me the rest of the day to figure out how!

Your workout looks rocking!
Thanks Girl! I am basing my diet on "Making the Cut"-I figured that diet was designed for the final week of her workout plan (ugh), so it would provide me with enough calories to make it through the week with my NROL workouts. I'm willing to stick with it to see if it really makes a difference in my weight and more importantly, my appearance. BUT-if I start feeling really run down, I'm not going to hesitate adding some carbs. back in on a limited basis.
