Chin-Up Check-In Fri, 9.8

S

Soosan

Cathlete
Good morning! What's everyone up to today? My back/neck is still pretty sore, so no chins, UB or core work for me still.x( I stupidly used a 50# barbell for PLB the day before yesterday and probably set the healing back. I had thought I'd just try it, and if I didn't feel any pain, I'd continue. Now the injury feels worse. Next time I do PLB, I'll hold dumbbells at my sides, even if it means going down in weight. Yesterday I did 1/2 Imax 3 followed by light yoga. Today I'll probably do less intense cardio, maybe Seasun Ziegler's (or whatever her name is) Rock Steady Step. I tried it a couple weeks ago, thinking it would take me forever to catch onto the choreography, but it wasn't as hard as I thought and lots of fun!

Off to get kids ready for school and then to sell raffle tickets for the Y at the grocery store! Have a great day (and sorry for all the whining)!
 
No chins for me today - tomorrow. G'day to y'all anyway!

Good morning chinsters-

Soooosan-sorry to hear about your set back. I've done the same thing also. I think I am going to look into Seasun's Dvd. See if anyone is selling it on Ebay. Sounds like I might like it.

I worked on chin yesterday so none for me today. Not much progress here but I'm happy I am still trying.

I have a Primary Election next week so I have been soooo busy with work.

Have a great day.

Adri-

I'm still working on trying to do one. Sometimes it seems like I will never be able to do it but I'm going to keep on trying.

Have a good night.

Joanne
 
That's the spirit Joanne!! Keep up the hard work. Chinups ARE HARD!!! Do not sell yourself short. You are working hard just doing what you are doing!!

Adri, not sure if I want to hear your report tomorrow or not LOL!! JK.

Mel, wish your son happy birthday!! And be careful starting back. Ya know we've had so many injured lately,....

I am planning on restarting weights on Sunday. Haven't decided what to do yet. Hmmmmmm,..... something easy!!!

Good morning, Chins! No workout for me today. We're off to Water Country USA, which we do every year the first Saturday after school starts. It's great because it's still usually hot enough and there are NO lines. Today's supposed to be 89 and mostly sunny - perfect! My DD6 has been talking about going all week.

Joanne, I got my Seasun DVD here for $10.89 plus free shipping: http://search.deepdiscountdvd.com/search?p=Q&ts=custom&w=seasun+zieger. I can't imagine ebay would be much less since you always pay shipping there.

HB - hi! Are you doing them today?

Catherine, how's your sciatica?

Melody, tell Mac happy birthday! How old is he?

Adri, you're amazing!

Briee, AWOL again!:p :p }(
 
Nah, I decided to do them tomorrow - my plan to do them 3 times a week was quickly scraped - I need that recovery time - must be my age?! Twice a week is plenty, so next week it will be Sunday and Wednesday. This past week I did Saturday and Tuesday.

HB, it sounds like you are being smart. I wanted to do the three times a week thing too. But I noticed after two days of rest I was really sore after repeating my chins. I mean REALLY sore. I can deal with doms in the legs or elsewhere, but the upper back-UGH!!!

I think I'll do IMAX 2 today and modify where needed. Tomorrow is weights YIPPIE!!! **Crosses fingers**

Oh, Soooooooooooosan, the sciatica is practically gone (most of the time). So I will proceed with caution.

Soooosan-Thanks for the link. I just ordered Seasun's Rock Steady DVD. Have fun at the water park. Our high today is only going to be about 65.

I'm going to work on the chins today. Tomorrow is the St. Paul Classic Bike Tour. DH and I do this ride every year. It is a lot of fun. About 6500 riders. It is not a real long ride, only about 31 miles. Looking forward to it.

Have a great Saturday.

Joanne
