Hi Adam,

I wouldn't worry too much about the abs. If you're
doing the movements even approximately, you should be
hitting them, maybe not as targetedly as crunches or
something, but enough to get them reasonably fit. Arms
and back are the first parts to cry "uncle," but that
doesn't mean your abs aren't getting worked, too.

I posted this a while ago in response to a similar
question:

Hope this helps. Keep bugging us if you're still not
satisfied.
