Pull Sit

Try a Portable Pull-Up Bar

One of the best body weight exercises you can do is the pull-up. It is excellent for your upper body strength to include your back shoulders and arms. Trouble is you may not have a convenient bar to use at home, your gym or near by park.

Good news is you can get one of those portable pull-up bars to use at home. There are a few styles available and they are easy to use and one can be carried with you if you travel. These are the styles that are used in a doorway and there is a freestanding type for outdoors.

For your doorway you can get one of those bars that fit between the door jam of a doorway. Included are two brackets that are screwed into the wood on both sides of the door jam. You place the bar into the brackets, twist the bar and it will tighten into the jam and it’s ready to use.

The second style is designed to make use of the frame at the top of the door. It kind of hooks on and your body weight will hold it in place. This bar will come with more than one hand placement to give you some variety. Some models will even let you make use of it at floor level for sit ups.

The negative with these is if you are tall you have to bend your knees to keep your feet off the floor. I have both types of doorway pull-up bars and use them a lot. The first one above I have used for about 25 years.

Another choice you have is a stand alone portable pull-up bar. They come in sections so it can be disassembled or set them up outside and leave them. It is an outdoor tool and should be made to withstand the weather.

Any of these portable bars are better than not having anything and are worth using. You should be taking advantage of the benefits of doing pull-ups.

Klarfit KS6DG Door Pull-Up Bar Chin-Up Bar Sit-Up Bar $24.9 The Klarfit Pull-up Bar is a smart piece of sports equipment which can be used for a quick and efficient home workout. Mounted in a door frame, the Klarfit acts as a classic pull-up bar. Pull-up exercises can work arm, shoulder, neck and back muscles to form a well-defined upper torso. Different grips can be used to highlight various muscle groups to give you the individual workout you want. Unlike one-dimensional pull-up bars, the Klarfit doesn't just work on the upper body. When placed at ground level in the door frame, the device can be used as a stable support for sit-up exercises to work your abdominal, pelvic and lower back muscles, avoiding an unevenness between upper and lower body muscles. Finally, there is an option to use the unit on the ground for other back exercises, or as a push-up handle.

Sit, Ubu, Sit $9.99 A sports-crazed kid from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, Gary David Goldberg never imagined he’d end up in Hollywood, let alone make it big there. But as a twenty-five-year-old waiter in Greenwich Village he met Diana, the love of his life; followed her out to Northern California; then moved in and never moved out. He also, without realizing it, put himself on track to found UBU Productions (named after his beloved Labrador retriever) and become a successful creator of such family sitcoms as Family Ties , Brooklyn Bridge , and Spin City .* In Sit, Ubu, Sit , award-winning writer/producer Goldberg tells the mostly upbeat, sometimes difficult, and frequently hilarious tale of his improbable career and the people who have filled it. A love story and a rare behind-the-scenes look at the entertainment industry, Sit, Ubu, Sit proves that it is possible to be creative and successful while holding on to your integrity, your family, and your sense of humor. *with Bill Lawrence From the Hardcover edition.
