Chin Up Bar for Doorways

Are you looking for a door chin up bar? Want to enhance your exercise program? The door chin up bar can do it!


The Chin Up is one of the best total body exercises that you can perform. It involves many muscle groups and uses your own body weight for resistance. Chin ups can seem a little daunting when you first start because if you haven’t been exercising you will have quite a challenge completing more than a few repetitions when you first begin.  Don’t give up! Just keep working at it and soon you will be a chin-up machine.

So, you are going to need a good, quality, door chin up bar that will help you be consistent in your form and will give you multiple grip angles to work the most muscles possible.  Overhand grips will allow you to better work your upper back and shoulders. An underhand grip will allow you to work your biceps and upper chest.  Depending on which doorway chin up bar you choose you may be able to vary your grip as well between a wider than shoulder width grip and a narrower grip. Any of these varying grip variations will allow you to work more muscle groups and get more bang for your buck with your workout.  In addition to chin ups or pull ups you can also work your core abdominal area. You would do this by hanging from the bar and then raising your knees up to your chest in a crunch type position. This will work the abdominal area quite well.

One of the biggest advantages to the door chin up bar is the fact that you can take it with you. Going on a road trip? Take your doorway chin up bar with you and use the door in the hotel bathroom and get your workout in. Don’t worry about the door chin up bars damaging your door facing. The bars are padded and designed in a way not to damage the paint or the wood.

So which bar should you use? There are several popular door chin up bars and one of the most popular and least expensive is the Iron Gym Total Body Fitness Kit . This is very easy to assemble and is great for chin ups and push ups. The product box also indicates that the product is good for dips but there is a very limited range of motion and I would not recommend it for dips.

Another popular bar, a little more expensive than the Iron Gym bar, is the P90x Chin-Up Bar by Beachbody. This bar features 12 different grip positions and is made of a heavy gauge steel (as are most of the chin up bars). Many people will have heard of this bar because of the P90x Workout being promoted on television and the internet.



You will need to make a plan when you begin your workout program to stick with it. Using a door chin up bar as a key part of your exercise program will yield excellent results!
