Pull-ups and chin-ups challenge your upper body and can develop muscles in your biceps, back, shoulders, and forearms. Some of the benefits of incorporating pull-ups into your fitness routine include the following:

·     Improve overall body strength

·     Improve grip strength in hands

·     Enhance cardiovascular health

·     Reduce resting blood pressure

·     Reduce weight and fat

·     Improve mental health

To complete a pull-up, start by gripping the pull-up bar with your palms facing away from your body. From hanging by the bar, pull yourself up until your chin passes above the bar’s level. To do a chin-up, simply switch your hand position so your palms are facing you. 

Instructors and fitness enthusiasts consider pull-ups a more advanced exercise over chin-ups. There are several exercise variances you can do with a doorway pull-up bar.

If you cannot complete a pull-up or chin-up, you can start your strength training by simply hanging from the bar. Place the pull up bar indoor on one of the doorways you pass through frequently. Practice hanging from the bar a few times a day as you walk under it until you can work up to a pull-up.

Having your home exercise equipment out and in a location that you pass by regularly can increase the frequency and likelihood of working out. For example, you can do pull-ups while watching your favorite shows by placing the bar in your living room doorway. 

You can pick up a pull up bar for home use for less than $100, most less than $50. Some of the best pull up bars for doorways are less than $50.

Strength training at home is a great way to stay in shape. If you want a workout for the whole body, you may want to invest in kettlebell weights.
