Pull Up Program

Get started today!

Start your journey to unlock the elusive bodyweight skill - the pull up! Using this program you can start working towards building the strength to perform both a pull up and chin up (see below for the difference between these two). Return to this program as much as you would like as you master your bodyweight on the bar. In this program we will work on both chin ups and pull ups. A chin up is performed with a supinated grip (fingers wrap under the bar towards you) and while using many of the same muscle groups, putting the bicep in a more favourable position in comparison to a pull up. Due to being a regularly used and larger muscle it often feels more natural and slightly easier to train. For this reason many people find chin ups easier to learn as compared to pull ups which require a pronated grip (fingers over the bar away from you) which recruits the triceps and upper back muscles slightly more. The key concept I want to stress for this program is that these things take a time... sometimes a long time and that is expected and ok! Please don't discredit small incremental progress as this is what we expect to see and keep chipping away at it! Record your progress on video so you can reflect back and see these changes... You got this! PS. There is some equipment required for this workout which can be found below!

Loved it! I really want to learn handstands but have zero strength, so this program is brilliant!

About Lucy Lismore

Personal Trainer & Coach

I specialise in helping women lose fat and develop strength, while using their body functionally and most importantly having fun with their training! To me health is not only working towards your goals, but also creating a relationship with your training that means you look forward to movement and living a healthy lifestyle every day, however that looks to you! I'm not your traditional personal trainer. 5 years ago I was 30kgs overweight, had never dared set foot in a gym and couldn't run 100 metres. I know the challenges that face beginners in the world of health and fitness and therefore strive not only be your trainer, but your motivator, biggest cheerleader and friend, so together we will achieve your goals and have fun along the way!

Frequently asked questions

I'm a beginner, is Playbook for me?
Absolutely! I have designed my programs with absolute beginners in mind so no matter what your experience and fitness level there will be something for you. You can use the programs to develop your strength and fitness and take part in the more advanced programs when you are ready.

I have lots of programs that require no equipment at all (or items you will have around your home)! Additionally, there are programs that require small items of equipment (dumbbells and a step etc) which are always listed in the description!
Is there a minimum sign up period?
No, the great thing about the workout app is that is a rolling subscription. This means that you pay monthly and can cancel at anytime!
