"I can't do it captain!" 2 Months ago Karma: 0  
I can't physically do the dreya roll. Tony instructs us to push off with our hands if we have to but I can't phsically do it. I lock up! Does any one else have this problem.

Also in the core synergetics there is a routine were you go from bow to boat. I can't physically get into a bow (can reach my ankles in that position).

Are there any suggestions or subsitutions I can do?

I can't do the Dreya roll either. I am in recovery week of Phase 2, and I'm able now to push off and get up if one of my feet is further forward than the other. If they are parallel, forget it, I get stuck.

Can't help you with the Bow/Boat problem. I can do that move.

Don't worry about it. I'm in the final stage of P90X Lean and am completely ready for P90X + now. I'm going to try out Doubles first though, but anyhow...

My first month, I was quitting after 30 mins on every exercise program. I've had multiple injuries which I won't go into, but basically, I just couldn't handle it. The important thing is to stick with it. I tell you, there isn't one program I can't complete now, and while I was wheezing and dying the first month, now I'm actually wondering if there's MORE I can do.

If you can't do Dreya Rolls, just skip it for right now. As you get better and better, eventually you'll be able to do them. Just keep at it, and don't worry about how well you do, just that you keep trying.

If you can't do bow, that sounds like flexibility issues. You can skip this too and eventually, you'll be able to do them. There are other exercises that will eventually help your flexibility to where you can grab your ankles. If you're actually getting your hands close to your ankles though, I'd suggest wearing something that will help your grip. They sell these yoga straps you could use to wrap around your ankles to help pull yourself up. It's a waste of money though, cause you can just use a belt or an old towel, or something.

Again, don't worry about how long it takes, just worry about if you're trying hard enough. Good luck!
