I didn't want to try anything too new this week because I'm getting ready to run a 5k race on Sunday (wish me luck!), but like others here I'm feeling inspired to get to where I can do chin-ups. So I did do some lateral pulldowns on Saturday, Tuesday, and today. And since someone here had mentioned it was good to alternate pushing and pulling exercises I did shoulder presses at the next machine over.

Also did some lower body strength stuff with a stability ball on Monday and some squats and lunges on Wednesday. I found the posts about squats at Stumptuous interesting. I had never been told it was dangerous to go all the way down (which apparently is a big myth that everybody who tries doing strength training gets told?) but I had just followed my instructors at stopping with my butt about level with my knees. Going lower was interesting and I want to practice that (maybe to get better at balancing) and then try to add weight.

Hoping to get a little more serious about this next week!
