Pull Ups

[Veronica]

5 sets of 2 unassisted, real pull ups today! I kept trying for 3, but could only get about half way up each time.

Good job Veronica!! Do you do pull ups with your palms facing towards you or away from you? I hate doing them with my palms facing away!

[Veronica]

Palms toward me.

wow, you're really strong. Still have never been able to do even one!

Doing a pull-up is next on my strength training goal. I've been doing the monkey bars regularly when I take the kids to the playground. I can't do a pull up, but I jump up and hold my chin above the bar for as long as I can. I do one then take a short play-break and then try another. I'm hoping to be able to do a full-fledged pull up by next summer.

Nice! And impressive!
