This upper-body move is NOT impossible!!
, chin-ups are an especially good goal since, to be frank, they are so difficult to achieve. "[Chin-ups are] so mentally intimidating, some participants may be discouraged before they even begin," Murdock tells SELF. "But I strongly believe in order to successfully knock this workout out the box it will take time and focus. Baby steps are key."
For a successful chin-up, you should work on strengthening your biceps and back muscles, says Murdock. Exercises along the way should focus on your lats and biceps to help build up the strength that you'll bring to the bar. "In addition, consistency is key," Murdock says. "Focus on these muscle groups on a regular basis to help you achieve your chin-up even faster."
Many trainers also recommend doing assisted chin-ups to help your body practice the exercise, since as you build up strength you might not be able to perform many reps of the execise unassisted. In Merritt's case, the resistance band modifies the chin-up to make it a bit easier, allowing her to practice the correct movements. Think of it like a big rubber band, helping propel her towards the bar. That's not to say that the resistance band does all the work for her.
For now, Merritt is documenting her journey on Instagram, and we'll be cheering along. A fitness goal is a great thing to work towards, whether it's a chin-up, a perfect plank, or simply getting to the gym a few days a week.
