NHS Strength and flexibility: pull-up
STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY PULL-UP
For these, you'll need some railings which you can hold on to
with your hands at about shoulder height.
A horizontal bar or tree branch at a similar height will also do.
To get into position, stand right up to the railings.
Hold on to the railings with your hands at shoulder height
and shoulder width apart.
Your feet should be directly below your hands.
Stand up straight.
Now straighten your arms, feeling yourself lean back.
To start the move, bend your arms and pull yourself towards the railings.
Your bent elbows should be tucked in.
Then straighten your arms to return to the starting position.
For more of a challenge,
step your feet further forwards underneath the railings,
feeling yourself lean back even more.
Your health, your choices
