Pull-ups

Alternatives -
  1. Grab the pull up bar/handles with straight arms.
  2. Hang without support from anything other than the bar/handles.
  3. Breathe in and flex your core.
  4. Breathe out and pull your body up towards your hands with the goal of your chin reaching above your hands (imagine that you want to bend the bar downwards when you pull yourself up). Make sure to angle your head and shoulder a bit backwards to not hit your head.
  5. Pause at the top.
  6. Breathe in and slowly lower your body downwards for 2-4 seconds for a deep stretch in your back muscles.
