    Thanks y'all. I was curious if my pictures showed that much of a difference. LOL.
    Some times it is hard to see on yourself, isn't it?

    what do you mean about step ups and touching your foot down?

    what do you mean about step ups and touching your foot down?

    When id go down in my step ups I would place my foot all the way down on the ground instead of making the foot on the bench do all the work.
    I have no idea if I explained it right, sorry lol.

    Amazing results! I'd be over the moon! The pics are great but I find with my pics that it is best if I am in the same distance to the camera in both pics if that makes sense. I can see a difference though and your calf looks brill!

    Thank you! I have been grooving on my calves. Flexing whenever I am not in jeans, haha.
    Hubby said the same thing about distance, so I getcha.
    For my stage 2 results I will make sure to try and keep the distance similar so I can tell better.
    And again, thanks for the kind words (:
