How to do it
Hanging from a bar builds grip strength and gets your shoulders and back ready for pull-ups.
- Hold the bar with your palms facing away, hands shoulder-width apart.
- Let your body hang with straight arms, feet off the floor.
- Breathe steadily and hold for the time shown.
- Step down carefully.
Tips and safety
- Use a box or step to get on and off the bar.
- Keep your feet touching the floor to take some weight if you're just starting.
- Make sure the bar is secure.
Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional first.
Keep going
