#4 Chin-Ups
Along with targeting the biceps, the chin-ups also tones the triceps, forearms, traps, shoulders and the muscles in the lower back region. Furthermore, it is an ideal exercise for beginners and casual trainers, thanks to its simple yet effective motion.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand straight in front of a pull-up bar with your feet placed shoulder-width apart. Secure the bar with a medium grip such that distance between the palms is approximately equal to the width of the shoulders. Ensure that the palms are facing towards the body throughout the duration of the exercise.
Step 2: With a stationary torso, slowly raise yourself until the chin is just above the bar.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the starting position. Ensure that the feet do not hit the floor throughout the duration of the exercise.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Wear a weighted vest while performing this exercise for added resistance and improved customisability.
