Keep trying though - they are and EXCELLENT all-around exercise.
ETA: That first video is really good at breaking down the move!

Tracey,
AWESOME job!!! I have been where you were last week so many times ... I'm so proud of you for pushing through it and getting to this point where the motivation is easy. And kudos for not going overboard on your "free" day today!!

Just saw your pictures - holy crap, woman! You are looking GOOD! You're shrinking like that brat from Willy Wonka.
Keep this up and pretty sure your pictures aren't going to even look like you. You're going to shrink, and then your body is going to start to change shape, and muscles are going to pop out all over the place like this - pop pop pop!
I think I may have to take progress pics today. Because even though I've lost 10lbs of fat, I can't see it!
GREAT JOB. Seriously. Very inspiring pictures.

Tracey, you are such and inspiration! I like how you wrote down your frustrations, decided you weren't going to let them get you down, made a plan and moved forward. Very, very cool. Your progress pics are just amazing too. Good on you!

Wow, I just noticed the pics... you look awesome!!!!!! I agree with everyone else, you look like you've lost way more than 15lbs. You've lost a boatload of inches and you look nice and healthy! Way to go... such an inspiration!!!!

Well, I just laid out another 38 bucks on my tea habit. This time I got Six Summits Oolong (refill - this stuff is so damn good), Honeybush Vanilla, Mate Vana, Rooibos Sweet Amore. Granted, this is a much less expensive habit than all the shoes I buy...but still! I blame you Tracey.  |

Yes ... that was the first time I really did them ... or properly anyways! They will get better ... and one thing I found was that if I used too light of a weight, then they were actually harder because I could "cheat". If the weight was heavier, I had to keep it perfectly vertical and couldn't cheat.
