Instructions:
- 1Approach the parallel bars, grip them firmly and lift your body up until your arms are fully extended
- 2Lean your body forward slightly and lower yourself by bending your elbows until your chest is on level with your hands
- 3Push your body back up to the initial position in a controlled manner until your arms are fully extended again
- 4Pause for a second and then repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions
Tips:
- Keep your body as straight as possible during the exercise to avoid swinging
- Ensure not to flare your elbows out to the side as you lower yourself down, keep them close to your body
- Keep your core tightened throughout the exercise to help with balance, especially during the lower part of the movement
- Ensure your breathing is controlled throughout, inhale as you lower yourself and exhale as you push yourself up
