    Chinners on a hot summer day!

    I'm AMAZED at all you 8" steppers out there. After that workout, my knee began to hurt - like the next day. It is still VERY sore, I am having trouble walking. I wanted to bike today, but don't think my knee will hold up - so I will probably wait another day or two. What is the date for...

    Chinners on a hot summer day!

    Hey chinners...thought I'd start a new thread. True confessions...how many of you guys do BM2 on a 6" step? I always do because I'm so short, BUT today - for some stupid reason - I decided I wanted to try an 8". OH MY WORD - this changes things considerably. Much better cardio workout -...

    Beware: weight and scales

    Nancy, also be aware......it may read accurate with a 5# or 8# weight, but let me tell you about mine. 5# reads accurate, 8# reads accurate...then I put on 2 - 30# weights, total of 60 # and it read 57#...hmmmmm. So I put on 110# (2 - 25# and 2 - 30#s in just the position as if I were...

    Hey chinners...I'm just trying to walk today - actually move. Yesterday I was going to do S&H legs, but didn't get to that in the AM. I made up for it as the ladies came (we are working out at my home for the summer until Taekwondo picks up in fall) and we did MM. I really pushed and my legs...

    Hey Catherine and all you others out there!! I LOVE your title (who WAS that "chinups bite" person of posts past???hmmmmm)!!! I'm getting worried about Soosan - the ball has gobbled her up. I'm hoping her mom is doing okay and it's strictly the ball. She's probably doing 896 chins to...
