I found this quote from Ms. Lohan in the most recent issue of Famous Magazine:
"I like doing push-ups. I'll just drop and do them. People think I'm a bit crazy, but I've gotten pretty good."
People may think she's 'a bit crazy', but its not because she does push-ups. Push-ups are a great exercise that works your chest, arms, shoulders and maybe most importantly your abs. Best of all, as Lindsay says you can drop and do them anywhere.

PS- Can't do a full push-up? Don't worry. In honour of the woman that Maxim Magazine recently crowned 'Hottest woman of 2006', we have put together an easy 4 step program to becoming a push-up expert.

Become a Chin Up Pro Today
I hope your weekend is going well.
We're still receiving lots of great feedback about our Lindsay Lohan push-up email (For those of you who might have missed the email click HERE).
Many people were interested in the progression for other body weight exercises. Like Jen, who asked, "How about doing a full chin-up or pull up? What's the progression for that?"
Well we've put together the grrlAthlete "5 steps to Becoming a Chin-Up Pro", and you can see all the exercises by clicking HERE.
I hope you enjoy the process of becoming a Chin-Up Pro!

5 Best Exercises
No matter what your goal, you should be doing these 5 exercises (or a variation) in your workout program. From becoming more athletic to achieving the athletic look, these 5 exercises are a perfect match for your program.
First up, the split squat. This can be done with dumbells, barbells, and even the Smith Machine at a gym. You can elevate the front or back leg, and beginners can do bodyweight only and hold onto something for balance.
You can superset split squats with dumbell rows or pushups, which are 2 of the other 5 best exercises you can do at home with minimal equipment.
However, if you do dumbell split squats, don't superset them with dumbell rows...your grip will be "fried", and you won't be able to do either effectively.
Rounding out the final exercises in our top 5 are two for the glutes and hamstrings...the dumbell Romanian Deadlift and the DB Swing.
You might never of heard of these exercises, but they focus on getting you to work "hip extension", which works your butt and hamstrings. Perfect for sport-specific power and for building a better butt.
More on these in the future,
CB
