Well, I got up the nerve to try this today at the gym, and surprisingly, it's not as hard as I thought it would be. But, where I can do 20 tuck jackknives at the end of my stage 1A workout, when I'm tired, I could only do 12 pikes the first set, and 10 the second, and I couldn't get off the ball with any grace after that! So I'm going to work up on reps with these. I haven't tried with no shoes, but I think I got all the way up onto my toes; hard to tell when your head's pointing at the ground and you're concentrating on keeping your balance and knees straight, no energy left to try to twist my neck to see in the mirror!
