Wait, isn't it wild how people resist until they actually try it? My cousin used to buy pre-ground coffee for years, always complaining about her bland cups. Then one morning I brought over my grinder and some beans from that local roaster downtown. She took one sip and her eyes just went wide, like she'd been lied to her whole life. Now she texts me every time she runs out of beans, asking for recommendations, and I have to laugh because she used to say it was too much work.

Feel like I still have paint in my hair from mine. My wall ended up looking like some weird abstract art disaster.

Mats sliding can happen to anyone, even with good form lol. I've had mine shoot out on a slick floor before. Try putting a yoga towel or a non-slip mat under it for more grip. Also, make sure your hands and feet are placed firmly and you're not leaning too far forward. Sometimes the surface just sucks, and it's not all about core strength. Adjusting your setup can prevent injuries better than just trying to power through.
