1. Give Yourself a Pull-up Goal
Make this be the "Summer of the Pull-up." You can get there. Pull-ups are a great exercise to shape your back into that sexy machine you want it to be. Set a goal to be able to do one, and by the time you get there, it may also be time to buy more backless dresses. Remember in eighth grade when they made the girls do a bar hang instead of a pull-up? Do that! See how long you can hang there with a reverse grip on the bar. Next, see if you can pull yourself up an inch or two. Once that is easy, try doing little pulses for sets of 10 or 20. After a couple months, those little pulses will start to get bigger until you're cranking out pull-ups.

DealPro Tips
If you know me well, you will know that the very last thing I am apt to say is "Work out! Feel great! Build some muscles! Take yoga!" Pffft.
I for one, will certainly never be paying someone to help me sweat on purpose.
But, I have discovered an off-label use for the YMCA: cheap babysitting.
And tiny-budding-handball-player asks for it.
"Mommy, I wanna go to da Y. I wanna play with da balls."
With our family membership to the YMCA, we get 2 free hours of childcare, while we're on-site, every day including Saturday.

DealPro Tips
It's a new year and it's time to get back into the motion of things. Every year, millions of people vow to work out, find solutions to lose weight and commit to staying healthy. But, did you ever wonder how you could do all of this without being financially unhealthy?
Countless of times when I saw my husband not go to the gym, all I could see was that $39.99 monthly fee go out the window. I know plenty of people who cancelled their gym memberships mid-year because they weren't taking advantage of the facilities that they were fully paying for.
If you want to know how you can stay healthy and fit and keep your bank account equally healthy and fit, our DealPros have some really great tips to share with you!
