Dear Fitbabe,
I really admire the picture of you doing a chin-up. I would love to be able to do them, even just one! How do you begin to get good at pull-ups/chin-ups? I am 49-year-old female and want to be able to do them before I turn 50 in 2 months to show off for my husband who is a retired police officer with a beer gut! Continue reading
Grease me up, lunch lady Doris.
A few weeks ago I read about a group that had formed to stop parents from oversharing about their children on facebook.
