Bicycles

Is it just me. But when I do the bicycles, the only thing that hurts/burns is my legs.. Or more specifically, my hip flexor muscles.... I threw in some sets of crunches to work my core a bit more post the planks... Thoughts anyone?

Same with me. Abs were fine but hip flexors were flexing. I made sure that I got in the most ab-stressing position though and got a good burn eventually. I'd suggest changing your position slightly to isolate the abs. Think V-sit.

Your abs are getting the workout too, but because you are feeling the pain in your hip flexor muscles you are not realizing that your abs are getting a workout. You can lean farther back (without touching the back of the chair) to get a better ab burn.
