The only way to get form point A to point B is by actually moving from point A to point B. You will get there! Rambodoc,

I couldn't do more than one, I think. What's more, I can't even deadlift my own body weight yet! A long way to go, but I will get there, surely.

I am glad you enjoyed the workout. 100 burpees... that is some crazy stuff! I might have to try that as a challenge sometime. Andy,

Those burpees kill me; I'll have to incorporate them more in my workout. I didn't include pushups today, but check out this video of this guy who timed himself doing 100! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCPUS5hYGc4 SOG – did a modified version of your workout today, and despite my frequent sprint interval training, I was sucking wind by the second round of the circuit.

Unfortunately there is just no substitute for a god pullup. If you have someone that can assist you, having them hold your wiast or legs and help you is a good place to start. Another thing you can do is lay on your back under a table or something around the house and do a pullup/row type deal using that while keeping your feet on the ground. Just make sure whatever you are using to lift yourself is strong enough. As for the video of a workout, I have been wanting to do that for a while but my digicam is like 10 years old and just doesn't have adequate video capability lol. Maybe I will upgrade here soo so that I can do that. Trailgrrl,

Burpees: Another word for puke your guts out before you can count to 10 (while doing burpees of course). Why oh why do they hurt so good... I mean so much? You're home gym stuff is definitely motivating me to work out right here at home and quit making excuses (lots of weather-related ones now!). One set of burpees and I'll be crying anyway. Got a good at-home recommendation for a chick who can't do a real pullup to, uh well, do a pull-up? At the gym I use a Smith machine rack and put it down about halfway and then do pullups assisted by my legs. Not sure how I can mimick this at home without the rack. Maybe a video of a home workout circuit? TrailGrrl You look more and more ripped with every pic you take.

We will have to arrange some crucial workout/hangout sessions. SoG, I’d totally do it if it weren’t for my dogs. We will have to arrange some crucial workout/hangout sessions.

I do all this at home. :-) If you want to see my home gym, check out the home gym video under the "videos" section of the site. I recently added a set of gymnastics rings to the collection... I absolutely love them. I hardly use my pullup bar anymore because of them. They are great for pullups, muscleups, dips, bodyweight chest flys and all sorts of other good stuff. Bee,
