swiss ball: 1, hazeldazel: 0

This morning I did my first Stage 1, Workout A session and did pretty well until I got to the prone jacknife. Couldn't get on the bigger ball at all and so switched to the smaller one. Got on the floor and raised my shins one at a time onto the ball, after about a second trembling in place, I started to shift my weight to start the first rep and... thump! Tumbling off the ball I go.

Okaaaaay, two sets of reverse crunches it is.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try the extended plank on Friday and then attempt the jacknife again next week. Who knows, maybe I'll actually complete one rep next time!
