Instructions

Secure a resistance band around the pull-up bar and pull it down to create a loop at the bottom.

Stand beneath the pull-up bar, reach up, and grab the bar with a grip slightly wider than shoulder width. Use an overhand grip (palms facing away from you).

Place one foot in the loop of the band and straighten the other leg beneath you. The band will help to support some of your body weight during the exercise.

Start with your arms fully extended and your body hanging from the bar. Ensure your shoulders are pulled down and back.

Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you begin to pull yourself up towards the bar, focusing on engaging your lats.

Continue to pull upward until your chin is above the bar. Ensure that your core is engaged and avoid swinging your body for momentum.

Pause at the top of the movement briefly.

Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position, maintaining control and keeping the movement smooth.

Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring you maintain good form throughout the exercise.

Remember to select a resistance band that provides adequate support to perform the exercise correctly without compromising form. As your strength increases, you can use a lighter band or progress to unassisted pull-ups.
