Five Chin-Ups!

Since I'm paying $80+/month to belong to Crunch, I try to stop by occasionally. I actually really dig them - good classes, nice facilities, funky vibe. And I think whoever is their copywriter is kind of a genius. Very clever.

This morning I had 45 minutes to kill between clients and classes so I popped in with the intention of just getting in a good sweat on the elliptical machine since I can't run yet and not doing much cardio is driving me nuts.

Well, after a pathetic 12 minutes on the elliptical, I got off because my achilles started yelling at me. With no particular plan in mind, I grabbed an overhead bar and started doing chin-ups. To my surprise, I easily did five!

Since one of my goals is to be able to do 10 pull-ups and I've thus far only made it to three, I was shocked at how easily I banged them out. Chin-ups are usually a little easier for me than pull-ups, but not having practiced them specifically (I usually focus on pull-ups) I was pleasantly surprised. Hoping to hit 10 by the end of October.

And maybe by the end of the year, I'll be able to do 10 of these. Right now I can only do one... So hard!

  1. When evaluating UPS inverter rates in Pakistan, it’s also important to consider after-sales service and warranty support. Brands that provide nationwide service centers, reliable parts availability, and responsive technical assistance are often worth the higher upfront cost, as they ensure long-term satisfaction and reduced maintenance headaches.
