I was working with the Bellydance Superstars-Killer Drillz with Zoe Jakes DVD and hit a little bump: in the pre-drill "belly" section, she talks about working the upper & lower abs independantly, without involving the chest & hips, using instead a series of push and pulls. Of course Zoe makes it look as simple as opening and closing your eyes, however, when I try to do the movement I find it impossible to keep the upper and lower abs separate. She recommends sitting or laying down to help isolate the muscles, but that doesn't seem to help my control.
Any ideas how to work towards being able to do the drill? A part of me says, just keep trying, but if I can't isolate the muscles am I accomplishing anything?
(Does anyone else have this dvd?)
