Strength and flex pull ups

[Nannie_Anne]

I am looking after my mother and confined to the house. I have room to walk and do most of the strength and flex exercises but no bars are available. Are there other exercises that I could replace the pull ups with. I have light weights and an elasticated band.

PS I've experimented lying under the table and I can pull up bending from my waist. Would that work?

If you go to the Strength and Flex forum, which is run mainly by runners, they will have a whole range of options for you, I am sure.

Thank you for your very prompt reply. I am new to healthunlocked. Is the strength and flex forum part of this site? How do I find it please?

If you click on the My Hub icon (9 white dots) at the top of the page you can search all the available HealthUnlocked communities.

You can get a pull up bar which fixes between a door frame and is demountable. As long as you’re not much over six feet tall.
