Thanks to all the ladies on the check-in thread for the tips on going parallel. I did the elbow-knee stretches and widened my stance and pointed my feet out and...I did it! It was no joke though. Like a whole 'nother exercise. I hope I can keep up with the added weight each time. I'll deal with that when it comes. For now, I'm just excited about getting down. Thanks again!

    Yay! You may need to drop the weight and work back up, it is hard but better for your knees ;-)

    I'll say. I can barely walk! I had to take a rest day. Tomorrow though.
