EasyEffort Chin up & Dip Bars

Beginner Workout Examples

Hi! I am Crystal and I will take you through 8 of my favorite exercises with the EasyChin & EasyDip bars! First I will show you the three grips you can use on any exercise.

 

Wide grip 1) The wide grip here has comfortable foam grips and is angled down.

2) The medium grip is between the wide and narrow foam covered grips on the black powder coated bar. Place your forefinger on the horizontal part of the bar with your three remaining fingers on the angle portion of the bar. This is both a comfortable and secure grip!

Medium grip
Narrow grip 3) Last is the narrow grip. This grip as you see has my palms facing toward me, unlike the other two grips that have my palms facing forward.

4) For partner assisted chinups you need a friend to help. Grab the bar with your selected grip and hang your weight on the bar by lifting your feet back at a right angle.

6) No one available to help? Then find a stool or chair and place it about 3 feet in front of your door-way. Hang from the bar with your selected grip and bend your knees so that your toes rest on the stool.

Check adjustments
Lie on your back in the doorway 11) Lie down on your back in the doorway with your chest under the bar. Select a grip then hang with your arms fully extended, body horizontal from shoulders to knees (Oops, I let my bottom drop!) Your knees should be bent with your feet on the floor (You can also put your feet on a stool)

12) Pull up, with your chest coming as close to the bar as possible. Keep your feet on the floor or on the stool.

Remember to squeeze your chest at the bottom
Calf Raises 17) The EasyDip Bar is great for balance when doing a leg work out. One leg calve raises are made simple with two hands for balance.

18) Stand on one leg then raise up on your toes and squeeze your calves. Slowly lower. To make calve raises more effective place your toes on a block of wood. Balance here is important as your heel will have further to travel up and a greater stretch down. You can also do calve raises from the floor or on a block with both legs.

Calf Raises
Squats with EasyDip Bar 19) Squats are safer and more effective with the EasyDip bar. You can keep your balance and move slowly up and down with your squats.

20) Find a comfortable stance for your squats moving slowly up and down, use your arms for balance only. Experiment with your stance width and feet supports (e.g. heels on a block, flat footed, on your toes) With balance and speed not being an issue you can concentrate on feeling your thigh muscles work.

Use arms to balance
One leg squats 21) This one's hard! One leg squats. Stand on one leg with your other leg bent at the knees. Hold the EasyDip Bar for balance.

22) Lower your weight by bending your other knee. Stop at the level that is comfortable to you and push up with one leg. Keep your back as straight as possible. If you cannot make it up use both legs to get back up and start over again. Just slowly lowering your weight on one leg is an excellent thigh builder!
