Latest fitness goodie

I got a package in the mail the other day...

& I was giddy happy.

I opened it only to hear Ricky say, "What did you get now?"

I wanted to say,  "Hey it wasn't a $150.00 video set so lay off buster" ... thanks Beachbody for taking all of my money... but instead, I just smiled & said, just wait...

& then opened up my box to find these...



Doing the P90X3 I can't do the chin up bar. 

First, I couldn't do it if I wanted to with my weak arms.
I've always had weak arms... I mean, you'd think they'd look like noodles with the strength I have in them.  But instead, they are big flabby arms...

... with a messed up shoulder...

that will never let me do a chin up. 

Not unless I let someone cut my bicep tendon... which even then,  I don't think will help in doing a chin up.

Just because... a red panda with more strength then I have

So I ordered the next best things - these bands that can strap to the door & you can use when they do the pull ups on the video.  Someone is modifying using these bands on the video so that helps figuring out what to do.


I have so far been using weights, which seems effective in itself. 

I mean, a chin up is lifting your body weight up... so if I have a weight bar with some weight lifting it up, isn't that basically the same?

It makes me sore regardless...

But I'm excited about my latest little gadget.

It also came with a poster the size of my body basically that has a ton of workouts to do with these babies.  That's exciting!

It's seriously this big!

It came with handles, with ankle wraps & the door gadget.  I'm set to go....

I'm actually excited to use them now in my work out...

& of course, tonight is more of a cardio workout & tomorrow is yoga... so I have to wait until Thursday....

patience... is there a gadget I can buy that helps me with that?
 
Have you ever used these?
 
Can you do a pull up/chin up? ... you are my hero if you can
