A small victory for me last night. After my ramen obsession the other day, I was dying for some munchies at the movies last night when Fergie and I decided to catch "Super 8" (good movie btw...). We made a mistake forgetting our night fruit snack at home for our 10pm show. In the end, I just had a Oolong tea after much internal debate. Both our stomachs were growling during the show. It was embarrassing but luckily the loud sound effects blurred our rumblings out. :)
Exercises are slightly better today as I finished skipping and all the sets this morning (rather than doing half skipping in the morning, then the other half plus the sets before dinner), but I am still not able to do any pull-ups at all. Feeling at a lost here....any advice? I can't help but to think I may be physically unable to do it. Like a wrestler unable to point in ballet....hmmm....
Terri, Great photo! I laughed my butt off! As for the pull ups... yes, treat it like push ups on your knees and then follow the photo as guidance. The secret to getting to that first independent pull up is your toes. Put the strain in your upper back, pull hard, but do it on your toes... after a week you will be able to do without toes and then keep on going!
ReplyDeletePull ups will take some time, keep rocking the inclines, go for a regular pull up every few days, and it'll just happen one day, you'll float off the ground with the power of your new back muscles!
