in Fitness and Exercise
Normally it is rude to interrupt someone during their workout. However, I was doing chin-ups/pull-ups this morning, when an older gentlemen approached me to tell me how impressed he was that I could do them, b/c "most men can't even do 1!"

I'm totally not offended that he interrupted me.

    The pull up is the holy grail of strength exercises for people who went from overweight/out of shape to fit. The first time you did one with good clean form and no cheating was that moment you realized you truly were fit and crossed that line. It's a great feeling.
