    OOOOOHHHH MYYYYYY GOODDDDDDD.

    Crabs are back - with weights. Those were the easy parts!
    I had to pause the video a couple of times because I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

    I know I've struggled at the beginning of every new section, but 9/10 is really hard for me - not that the exercises are too hard, it's the pace at which we are supposed to do them. Sure, it's easy for all those athletic people to push through at that pace, but I've only been exercising for two months of my whole life! I AIN'T THERE YET!

    She'll say to watch her, she does some complicated 4 step thing, then they only do three of them. I'm still making sure I'm doing it right, and it's over.

    There's about five seconds max between exercises.

    I can't stand it when she says "I shouldn't have to keep telling you this...but I'm happy to do it. We're doing shoulders, biceps..."

    On the positive side, I seem to be better able to jump. Are my knees getting stronger? I still hate it, but I can do a lot more now.

    EVERYTHING in workouts 9, 10 and Cardio 3 is a challenge!!! It's insane. I honestly think I'll have to do weeks 9 and 10 again...cause I just can't imagine 11 and 12!

    I may spend a couple extra weeks on 9/10. I flaked this week and did some other things because I was frustrated at the speed at which you need to do the exercises. I'm going to let some of you younger ones pass me up. : )

    I started 9 today. It really was a challenge! I paused and backed it up quite a bit trying to get it right. I made sure I shut the door so my husband couldn't see. Not that he cares but it is kind of embarrassing the first time. I'm not exactly sure what that last cardio move was. Some kind of squat/roll/jump thing. I absolutely could not do that move without using both my arms and practically crossing my legs to get up. Very sad! I did 7/8 an extra go around so I agree with y'all. May have to spend some extra time before moving up to 11/12.

    i think they are called rock n roll squats or something like that. she does them in shred it with weights but you're holding a kettlebell at chest level. i have trouble with those too but i make a point to push through my legs. it takes me a while to get up too, lol.

    hahahah! craziness. workout 9 is definitely the hardest in my opinion. maybe 11/12 will be easier because it's the end ;)

    Thanks for the pointers! I pulled a muscle near my hip doing the curtsy squats so I hope that it will get to feeling better soon. :(
