I have to admit that January has been off to a slow start in my workout regime. The boot camp classes that I have been doing are not starting up again until February due to a change of location.
I will get back to it full swing on my own this week until the classes resume.
I decided I needed a fitness challenge.
12 consecutive Pull-ups. Simple right? Not for most people i know, definitely not in my age group. This is why i think it is the perfect challenge.
No expensive equipment needed...other than a cheap pull-up door mount and yourself (the door mounts are super cheap...of course you are priceless!)
I will give myself a few months at least. I think i can do 2-3 at most right now.
The plan is simple for now. 3 sets of maximum push-ups in the morning and before I got to bed (every night). Push ups strengthen the muscles that you need for a pull up. Since i can't perform a lot of pull ups right now I am going to start with the negative pull up routine.
Grab a stool, lift yourself up to the chin up position and slowly let yourself back all the way to the ground. I will do 3 sets of 12 for a few weeks. Trying a few pull-ups on my own along the way too.
Will post a progress video soon!
