Samarra On The Monkey Bars
My wife Samarra, (who turned 46 two days after this was shot), and I are starting to hang and swing on monkey bars and things like them as a way to develop upper body strength and stability. I used to do low flying trapeze back in the early 90's. I'm easing into it this time around, being 54 myself, just hanging and pulling up enough to keep my head and neck free, and doing some leg lifts. Samarra's lighter and is really getting into swinging. Her goal is to do a nice slow full complete pull-up by the end of the Summer. I'd like to be able to do a few myself, but I'm going to go slowly and build up over time. Neither of us can afford injuries, particularly to the neck area where we've both been injured in the past.
