Hey Sooooooosan

[JMFRANE]

I, too, have been trying to do pull ups/chin ups. And, I too, feel very discouraged. Maybe, we should have a daily check in. I feel as though I will never be able to do one from a hanging position. They seem so darn hard. I feel so strong until I try one. I have been working on them but I guess I'm not working on them hard enough. Tonight I took some of Cathe's and your suggestions. I'm going to keep on trying!

Hi Joanne! I am in the same boat as you. I read on the Ask Cathe Forum how many Cathe said she can do and really felt like "What am I doing wrong that I even can't do ONE?" I have in the past been able to do everything Cathe does on her videos (with the exception of the Levitation move. I am still convinced my arms are too short for THAT move! Ha!) I did do Briee's suggestion about the "cheat" method where you jump up and come down slowly. I did 5 of those today and even thought they were tough, I did them! Have you tried them? I'd like to say I'll join you on the check-in but not sure I will be able to pop in daily. I am thinking of doing them every other day and see where I get. Good Luck! We WILL do one before the New year! Ha!

Yes, Debbie, join in on the check-in (and anyone else). And, that is a good idea to to them every other day. You sound EXACTLY like me. I also did the cheat method today too. Maybe, we will even be able to do one before the 4th of July

Hi Joanne! So glad you want to join the chin-up check-in! Debbie suggested we post every other day starting Wed, which sounds like a plan to me. Sound good to you? How often do you plan on doing them?

Hi Sooooosan,

I didn't realize a check in was already discussed! (I'm always one step behind) Great!

Joanne
