Tutorial

  1. 1
    Stand in front of a door and grasp the door handle with your left hand so that your palm is facing the ceiling. Lean back with your upper body so that your arm is stretched out. This is your starting position.
  2. 2
    Use your back muscles to pull yourself towards the door until your upper body is against the door leaf. Your elbow is now next to your body. Breathe out as you do so.
  3. 3
    Slowly lower yourself backwards until your arm is stretched and you are back in the starting position. Breathe in as you do so.
  4. 4
    One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions and then change the page.
Tip
Maintain body tension throughout the exercise. Make sure that you pull yourself up with the strength of your back and bring your elbows back towards your body.
TIP: To make the exercise harder, you can lean further back and/or add weight to a backpack and strap it on.
