Health Note
I bought a chin-up bar and installed it in my hallway doorframe. I saw it when I was at Sport Chek, cheking out tennis rackets, and thought it would be a handy little piece of exercise equipment. There’s a gym at my office, and before I was full time I always thought it would be a good thing to make use of, but I’ve never been. I’ve decided that I don’t like gyms, they’re stinky and gross.
So I figured that a chin-up bar is a simple and private way to help cultivate a physique — along with my Ripped Berry smoothie from Booster Juice. “I’ll have a Ripped Berry,” is what I say to the completely bored girl behind the counter, “because I’m ripped.” And then I do a little flex pose for her. She pretends not to notice or hear me, but I can tell she’s pretty impressed.
And then I go home and do three chin-ups… that’s right, IN A ROW!

Not really, I’m just goofing around. It really does sound like something you’d say/do though, now that you mention it.
Touch yourself.

Dude, 3 chins in a rwo when you only weigh 83 pounds… Nah, nevermind, good for you. Doubt I could do more. My favorite exercise is resting one foot back on a bench or chair and doing one-legged squats w/ the front leg (don’t go over your knee, keep it square). Great stretch and burn that requires no equipment. Even a little cardio-licious.
