| Fila pull up bar |
While using up a cash back coupon at Kohls I picked up a Fila pull up bar. I like to do push ups as part of my exercise routine but was finding it difficult to fit in pull ups without going to a local playground.
This pull up bar fits in the doorway. Doorways are designed to be overbuilt with several pieces of wood above the door underneath sheetrock or paneling. This allows the pull up bar to be stabilized. I admit to some nerves as I used the pull up bar the first time. After carefully putting the bar in place it held my 160 pound plus body with no problems. Please carefully test this out with your weight at home to prevent injury.
The pull up bar allows for multiple grip positions. I am starting out slow doing a few reps every other day to get into condition. I like simplicity of the design and the ease of removal. It took approximately 15 minutes to assemble with tools in the package.
The bar can also be placed on the floor and used as a push up bar. There are several manufacturers who make similar pull up bars with costs ranging from $30 to $100 dollars US.
