How to do pull ups
To do a pull up, follow these steps:
-
Grab the bar with an overhand grip, positioning your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
-
Engage your core and keep your body straight, with your feet together and your legs extended.
-
Pull your body up toward the bar, using your upper body muscles to lift your chest to the bar.
-
Once your chest reaches the bar, pause for a moment, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.
-
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to use proper form when doing pull ups to avoid injury and get the most out of the exercise. If you're new to pull ups, you may want to start with an assisted pull up machine or try using a resistance band to help support your body weight. As you get stronger, you can gradually increase the difficulty of the exercise by using a narrower grip, using your body weight only, or adding weight to your body.
