Body Workout Bar

Tens of thousands of people sign up for gym memberships each year, but seldom make use of them because it can be inconvenient and time consuming to travel to the gym for regular workouts. Although these people have good intentions to make use of their gym memberships, the reality of busy work and home schedules often limit their ability to visit the gym on a regular basis. An alternative is to equip your home with workout equipment that can be easily accessed. Purchasing a home gym is often cost prohibitive, and therefore not a good option for many individuals.

A doorway pull up bar is an inexpensive solution that provides the versatility of numerous upper and lower body exercises at a fraction of the cost of other options. It allows a motivated individual to complete an exercise routine in their own home, often in less time than would be required to travel to and from the gym.

Standard pull ups are done by using an overhand grip on the bar, with the hands spaced at approximate shoulder width. From a dead hang, the body is pulled upwards until the chin rises above the bar. The body is then lowered in a controlled fashion, and this completes one rep. The width of your hand grips can be altered to target different sets of muscles with this same exercise. With a wide grip, where the hands are spread further apart on the bar, more emphasis is placed on the back muscles. With a narrow grip, where the hands are close together, more emphasis is placed on the arm muscles and the muscles closer to the spine.

If the grip is changed to an underhand grip, with your palms facing you, the exercise is called a chin up. Chin ups are typically easier to perform than pull ups, because the biceps do most of the work. As an added benefit, both chin ups and pull ups offer a great core body workout. The upper abdominals are tightened with each rep, so the upper body and core both get worked from this single exercise.

To target the lower abdominal muscles, hanging leg lifts and hanging knee lifts can be done. To complete these, hang from the bar, being careful not to hyper-extend your arms. While hanging, keep your feet together and your legs straight, and lift your legs until they are perpendicular to the rest of your body. Hold this position for a second and then slowly lower your legs to the starting position. This completes one rep. This same hanging position can be used to perform hanging knee lifts. With your legs together, raise your knees up towards your chest as high as you possibly can. Hold this position for a second, and slowly lower them to the starting position.

The doorway pull up bar can be placed at the bottom of the door frame for performing sit ups as well. The novice can use the bar as a foot hold to provide additional leverage. As the abdominal muscles are developed, the bar can be used as a guide to ensure proper form. With the toes placed under the bar, sit ups should be completed without moving or raising the bar with your toes. This forces you to focus on using just your abdominal muscles to complete your set of sit ups.

To develop the muscles in the front part of your shoulders, the doorway pull up bar can be placed on the ground and used as a push up bar. The narrow grips on the bar cause the inner part of the shoulders to be worked. Using the wide grips on the bar will focus the workout on the pectoral muscles.

As your muscles develop, there are a variety of other pull up exercises that can be added to your routine to target different sets of muscles. Among these are towel pull ups, diagonal pull ups, one arm pull ups parallel grip pull ups, and more.

DoorwayPullupBars.com focuses on a number of great exercises that can be conveniently completed from your own home. A doorway pull up bar is an inexpensive alternative to expensive home gym equipment.
