    Thanks for posting this – great choice! People talk “good mornings” and I’ve read about it, but this video gives excellent instruction.

      *puts hand on chocolate* I SWEAR by good mornings. LOL In all seriousness, these and another exercise called a “high pull” are so awesome for that slope into the booty. Total win. LOL

    Hi I’m 5ft and 188 lbs. I do not enjoy the gym nor do I have time to spend hours there. I recently had to start buying flats just because i cannot fit my heels due to the weight gain. And I’m not gonna tell you about the levels of pain I have when I am wearing heels. My weight is to much for the heels.how do I find an exercise I enjoy to get out of this fat suit. Oh I forgot to mention that it doesn’t help that now that I’m fat I’m slightly depressed and crave comfort foods. pleas help

A few rules for posting, friends:

  • If you are promoting a product, or posting a sales pitch, your comment will be deleted.
  • If you are trying to dispute something on the site, you will need more than anecdotal evidence (i.e., "My cousin's friend's uncle's girlfriend's boss did it and it worked!" If you've got books or at least Internet links, then we can talk. Otherwise, you risk your comment not being approved.
  • Foul language is discouraged. I'd like people to still be able to read the site at their jobs.
  • Disrespecting me or the men and women who post here is also unacceptable. Your comment won't be approved, and you might be banned. (Actually, I've grown to like embarrassing people who behave like they have no home training. Consider yourself warned. :)
  • Want an avatar? Quick and easy solution. Visit Gravatar.com and sign up for one!
  • Everyone is welcome here. You don't have to be Black, you don't have to be a Girl. I'd prefer you to be human, and I'd prefer you to be kind. We're helping each other, right? :)
  • Last, but certainly not least, commenting here is a privilege. Not a matter of "freedom of speech," but a matter of "approved at the discretion of the the owner." It's how I protect our community. Everyone appreciates this until it's their comment on the chopping block. We simply don't have time for foolishness, here. (And please, don't e-mail to complain. I already know you're mad.)
