Body Weight Exercise – Pull Ups
The Pull Up and Chin Up are essential bodyweight exercises. They both fall into the category of what are called compound exercises. This simply means that they target and strengthen multiple joints and muscles.
They also fall into the category of what are called “Functional Exercises”. Exercises that are functional tend to be more realistic in nature and require the body to work together and move in a more natural and coordinated way.
You can find out more about the importance of performing functional exercises when you sign up and request the free bodyweight workout book I have near the upper right hand corner of this website.

The pull up and chin up work the latissimus dorsi, the biceps, parts of the rotator cuff, and other muscles. It’s an excellent indicator of upper body strength also contributes to good posture. I recommend that lat work is emphasized approx. 2:1 when it comes to push ups and bench pressing in order to maintain healthy shoulders and good posture. And, when learning how to do pull ups go slow and modify your technique to allow for the full range of motion.
