Yesterday I did my first chin-up!! By myself! Next time I will try 2... I also did my first set of proper squats- and they felt really good! So I've posted this to inspire people- if I can get this far, anyone can. A year and a half ago I was 45 pounds overweight and totally unfit- now I am doing stuff in the gym and with my running club that I never believed possible. Post your inspirations below!

Squats are like the base of a pyramid....the best part of leg training. If you cycle you can really benefit from squats. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.
