I haven't posted in a while, but I just wanted to add my sentiments on A-Jock's eloquent and inspiring post. A-Jock has been here forever and is incredibly fit and motivating herself. Her fitness level, coupled with the demonic mish-moshes she devises and shares with this group, has prompted...

You guys are cracking me up! I'll be around every now and then. I start yoga training next Friday. I hope I'll be a good teacher! Catherine, you are an animal! I am so proud of you for sticking with the chins all this time and upping your weights like there's no tomorrow. You are so...

Great pix, Catherine - you've got some buff abs! I recognized cute Joanne in a couple of them. If the chin-up police were going to come get me, they would have been here by now! My mom's MRI came back this week and showed she was cancer free! She's still recovering from the radiation and...

Hey Catherine and Joanne! Aside from cardio, I haven't been doing Cathe this summer (or chins either, for that matter;-)), but I've been doing lots of yoga and have decided to bite the bullet and enroll in a 200-hour yoga teacher training program. It's Yoga Alliance registered and I'll be...

Hey chinners! Catherine, you really are great to keep us all going! I feel bad I don't check in as often as I used to. I'm still doing yoga quite a bit mixed with Cathe interval cardio. It's a nice change of pace and I think it's good for my body. I'm going to try to post a picture taken a...

Rocky and I haven't been around much lately but we couldn't pass up an opportunity to wish you a wonderful birthday and congratulate you on your 20th anniversary! Yay you! :)

Hey Catherine, Joanne and Briee! I'm in NJ visiting my parents. My mom is not doing so well. She's pretty much an emotional wreck, which is SO unlike her, but fairly common I hear. She's very glad to see us and I think being here with the kids is good for her. I'm going to call...

You are just so nice, Catherine. Thank you.

Catherine, my mom is doing a bit better but has really been through the ringer. She finished radiation and chemo a couple weeks ago. She's had some killer anxiety attacks, which is SO unlike her, but most likely due to all the medication she's taking. She has just started to decrease the pain...

Hey! Man, you guys just keep plugging away at those chins. Me? I haven't done a Cathe workout in over a month, but am doing yoga every other day with friends. I need to get back with the weights and cardio but feel quite challenged by the yoga right now. Hope everyone's having a great...

Hey Chinners! I am so sorry you guys have been worried about me! I was so buried in work and other stuff and then we went to the beach for a week where there was no internet, and I just never got around to even lurking until now. I even just realized Cathe has a new series! How awesome! I...

Joanne, I've been attempting chins here and there just for fun after a work out and hear ya on how strong Briee and Catherine are! The highest I've ever pulled myself up from a dead hang is a bit more than half way (*sigh*). I did PLB standing only yesterday and will do some kind of cardio...

The non-chinner is here and back working out injury-free! I babied it for a few days, then did PUB yesterday and it feels absolutely fine. I'm doing PLB today. Catherine, you are doing SO great with your workouts and your consistent checking in with us. It's always fun to read what you...

Briee, you are so right to point out that the fact that you, Catherine and others our age who are doing chins at all is SO impressive! I am really in awe of that! I'm just proud of the fact that I've been a relatively consistent and hard exerciser for 20 years - that's more than most people...

Hey Chinnies! My neck and back are feeling better but still not quite there, so I am definitely not going to make it worse this time! I did some light yoga with friends this morning (no sun sals), Imax 3 yesterday and am going on a 6-mile bike ride at 7pm to honor a man in our community who...

Hey Joanne! Happy Mother's Day and congratulations to DD! Does one body part per day usually work for you? Catherine, I think it's great that you post what you do and your weight loads. You are so strong! I couldn't face PP yesterday so we did Supersets. Believe it or not, I wound up...

I thought that might get your attention! We had a great family weekend. The weather was beautiful and we hung out on the water with friends doing various things. How was everyone's Mother's Day? I'll be doing a TBW workout with my friend today who, due to both of us being sick at different...

Good morning, chinners and nonchinners! (In case you're wondering, I fall in the latter group:).) I'm feeling almost 100% today. I did 40 min of power yoga yesterday and will do something light today - not sure what yet. Briee, Burrachos sounds like my kind of place! Wish we had one...

Hey Catherine and Briee! I've had a stomach/intestinal bug for the past few days and have been in bed most of the time - yuk! I haven't had one of those in 5 years and this one was a doozy! I'm still not up to snuff and I have got so much freakin' Y work to do with the Ball coming up next...

I often use yoga DVD's for post workout stretching and second the recommendation for Patricia Walden's "Yoga for Flexibility." The version I have is a bonus on "Yoga Journal's Yoga for Beginners" and was originally recorded in 1992. Other DVD's I use after a Cathe workout are: 1. Sonic...
