Chin Up Bar Exercises
What exercise can I do instead of a chin up?
I am doing an online training programme. One of the exercises are chin ups but I don’t have access to a bar (nor am I willing to install one in my house – my mother might kill me). What other exercises can I do that work similar muscles?
Thank you
Chin ups work your biceps by the action of pulling your arms into a folded position. Doing bicep curls with hand-weights will mimic the exercise but at a much less intensity.
The benefit of doing chin-ups is that you also work your back, shoulders, abs and chest.
Doing a variety of exercises that work these muscles will benefit.
Try push-ups or plank position for some effective arm and chest work. To work a variety of muscles in one exercise, try incorporating balance into it. For example, try using a fit ball with your exercises. The requirement of balancing on the ball will strengthen your abs and back at the same time as whatever muscle you’re focusing on.
Google is your best friend when it comes to defining specific exercises.
