Benefits from doing pullups

Позвоночник вытягивается в двух положениях: в горизонтальном и во время виса. Недаром человек утром, после сна, несколько выше ростом, чем в конце дня. Подобным образом мы вырастаем и после продолжительного висения на турнике. К сожалению, невозможно находиться в висячем положении так же долго, как например в бассейне или кровати. Тем не менее в Ваших силах сделать упражнения на турнике регулярными. Ведь прямая, стройная спина делает Вас выше, а красивая осанка — подтянутым.

Вот хорошее и очень простое упражнение для снятия напряжения в позвоночнике — вис на турнике с одновременным плавным вращением вокруг своей оси по и против часовой стрелки. В дальнейшем есть смысл перейти к подтягиваниям на турнике. Однако не стоит форсировать события и делать максимальное количество повторений в первом же подходе. Увеличивать число подтягиваний нужно постепенно.
