The kind of smile and mouth to kill and die for. a kiss from you must be something simply unforgettable

[Thedreadcap]

Love your locs. Check out dreadcap.com

[charlietow]

[lynn2284]

[Auntkekebaby]

Nice. I can do only 4 without loosing my form. I have a bar in my house.

[abandongandon]

this african american women is fit. she probably has good genes

[6ft7inHIBread]

@abandongandon I'll bet she doesn't use race as an excuse and works very hard at what she does. I'm sure that if others had the same work ethic, they wouldn't be complaining either.

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

@abandongandon You don't realize how ironic it is of you to say that her fitness is a result of her genetics do you? Fitness is something you earn, not something you're born with

[charlietow]

@abandongandon ill bet she looks good in 'em too!!! :D

[MonkBlak]

very nice tutorial! and very strong core you have!

[doubleuc100]

Nice demo.

Due to space restricions(top of stairs)i have to bend my knees for this, i started to do 5 to the left then 5 to the right everytime i do them now, is this better in anyway?

[money4llday]

@carmeliavanhorn strong woman!

[nicoya86]

your really are an inspiration to me! i'm working my way up to chin ups and so far i can do a few...but to get to your level i need more time!!!!

[carmeliavanhorn]

@nicoya86 Thanks for your comment. How are those chin ups coming along?

[nicoya86]

@carmeliavanhorn so far i can do about 6 to 8 straight . . . which is a lot of improvement from when i first started! :)

[carmeliavanhorn]

@nicoya86 Fantastic, Nicoya! That's very impressive.  Keep up the great work!!!

[jumar1281]

i believe i am strong enough to do this, but my legs are not flexible enough

[fistyeah21]

So, what's it like being a goddess?

[coreyologist]

much props from the state of tennessee, I cant enough of body weight exercises because you can do them anywhere, there is a phrase i live by, your body is the equipment the world is your gymnasium

[finenfabulouscious]

Excellent, but the comments about not being able to get their legs straight had me lmao! :-) I'm guilty as charged, I can't get my legs straight either lol!

[hahanikka]

awesome

[carmeliavanhorn]

@hahanikka Thank you!

[foah201]

lmao i just tried this and i couldnt even get my legs straight

[carmeliavanhorn]

@foah201 Keep working at it. It will come!

[sportscorsch]

@foah201 LOL I've been doing P90X for 4 weeks and I don't think I could even get my legs straight either.

[ettorejohn]

@foah201 that means u need to work your lower abdominals

[madmardygan]

@ettorejohn it means abdominals in general

[Kasokz]

@foah201 haha opposite on me xD can get my legs up and straight but then i can't pull up because all my concentration is on my abs xD

[luvsbuffgurls]

[carmeliavanhorn]

@king1Malik Thank you!

[larry89]

L chin ups are the fucking best

[carmeliavanhorn]

@larry89 Agreed!

[rich80baby]

she talking while doing it at the same time... wow thats cool!!!! lol

[lilbitparanoid]

My cousin and I have been doing these as part of our workout but we've been doing a program where we do 1, then 2, then 3..... up to ten and then max out about 5 times. It seems like this lets the muscles warm up slowly and get stretched well and increases work capacity. When we're done with the chinups, time for curls to finish off the arms. Not a bulky person, but stringy like a grey hound :) I also love jogging because it firms up the whole body and builds energy reserves.

[carmeliavanhorn]

@lilbitparanoid That's great, lilbit! Keep it up!

[FitFury]

Yea thats a nice move there, defintely have to use them. I like the idea of doing on the stairs in the house! nice vid

[carmeliavanhorn]

@FitFury Thanks! Yes, household supports (like stairs) can come in handy.

[jmunson85]

will you marry me!!!

[khalsasikh]

@jmunson85 Dude, chill out! Where's your dignity?

[wtfboy2]

this chick could kick my ass and about 80% of people here on youtube

[chiconspiracy]

@4oldskool

Don't forget once you get past about 8 or so to start doing them weighted once in awhile, in 3-5 rep schemes. Whenever you plateau on any exercise, it's a good idea to do more sets of less reps on a heavier weight. It helped me break plateaus on the chinup, dip squat, and press. A lot of people think they lack the muscle endurance, but they actually need to get stronger first.

[carmeliavanhorn]

@chiconspiracy

Excellent advice, chiconspiracy!

[rmsolympic1]

Great exercise, and I love that home.

[carmeliavanhorn]

@rmsolympic1 Thank you!

[batts1150]

wow awesome job my max is 5

[carmeliavanhorn]

@batts1150 Thanks. Five is great, too!

[falsepride]

I love the way this lady looks. What cute legs too. I love this girl! She should train Mo'nique from Fat Chance! She needs it!

[BaptismOfMoonlight]

well, i am not the mam lol, but all you have to do it keep doing them.even when you hit your max and you cant make it all the way back up, try to go as high as you can. and do full pull ups. all the way up and all the way down. it also helps if you change your hand placement if you can. do pull up, chin ups, then turn your wrists in facing each other, even try to do behind the head pull ups.

[DethStryque]

I have to goet back to doing my pull-ups,lol

[carmeliavanhorn]

Great question! I have tried different methods for doing this. My recommendation is to do as many as you can regular style and then go to chair assist.

Put a chair slightly out in front of you, put one foot on top of the chair back and use that foot to help you push off and do the pullup. You will be able to go to muscle failure this way and finish your set of pullups. Soon, you will increase the amount of un-assisted pull ups you can do.

[carmeliavanhorn]

@4oldskool Thanks for asking! My purpose for wearing the gloves is because those stairs are unfinished wrought iron with very sharp edges. The gloves serve to protect me from lacerations.

[MrUptownzfine5t]

impressive....barstarzz

[mraxus]

nice, I'll do this :)

[TimD106]

Hey, thanks for the video, I learned alot. Can you show us some good butt exercises? Wear a bikini so we can see the muscles being worked though.

[laborieu]

you are a very amazing and beautiful lady but i am sure that Lilahart should beat you in a arm wrestling or wrestling challenge , what do you think about that

[YTBT]

If your interested, i posted a Basicz vid for those who would like to take their fitness to the next level. Check it out.

[carmeliavanhorn]

Thanks so much! I will recommend your vid to folks.

[YTBT]

Salute to you Carm. I always fine females doing pull/chin ups motivational, cause for the most part yall stay away from that type of training.

[carmeliavanhorn]

Thanks for your support! I absolutely luv chinups and pullups and do them everyday!

[Fastidious01]

Can you hang by your feet from the pull up bar w/o inversion boots?

[carmeliavanhorn]

No, I cannot.  Maybe a trapeze artist could train me?

[urbanfitmag]

great job! it's beautiful seeing women encouraging chin-ups.....it's for everyone!

[carmeliavanhorn]

Thanks! Yes, so true!

[carmeliavanhorn]

Thanks! That's alright -- most women cannot do one chin-up when they are starting out. I recommend you do chair-assisted chin-ups to start, i.e. put a chair in front of you, then put one foot on top of the chair and use it to help push yourself up. Build up the amount of chair-assisted reps until you can do one without the chair. It'll take a few months to build up your strength.

[edentmoney]

i know it wasnt the purpose of the vid but you are sexy

[DColon614]

great job

[carmeliavanhorn]

Thanks!

[DJJRDIONTE]

u are fine can u call me sometiome

[malia0308]

OMG!!!! My name is Carmellia! This is the first time I have seen someone with the same pronunciation as mine! That is so awesome! I just have one more L in my name.

[carmeliavanhorn]

Right ON! Yes, most awesome.  The internet is a wonderful thing.

[nonocurios]

parabens sera que vc pode me mandar umas instrucoes pois fui acometido de uma artrodese na coluna lombar...

desde ja obrigado...

[carmeliavanhorn]

My Portuguese is not good at all, but from what I can understand: you have neck and back problems? Doing this exercise should not be a problem for either of those areas. Since you are flexing your legs and not extending, there is no back (lumbar) stress. Enjoy!

[Lookout4the3rdrail]

ima try that one. Great job and your super strong!

[carmeliavanhorn]

Thanks! Yes, give it a try -- you can do it!

[DethStryque]

You have gotta be the sexiest L-chinup doingest young lady that I've seen.Very impressive

[carmeliavanhorn]

Thanks!
