* Put your fingers to the bar more than the palm of your hand to reduce formation of calluses.
* Breathe at the bottom, just before you start your next pull up.
* Keep your chest in the front and the shoulders at the back.
* Don’t look down. Always look up when you do pull ups.
* Bending your legs and crossing your feet as you go up gives strength and so don’t let your leg hang.
