Chris: Here we are at the Health Beat Pull Up and Dip station. So, first we’re going to start with the pull up. There are two different versions we can do of the pull up. First, we can do an overhand grip if you could please demonstrate.

[video: Chris points to the bar so the man turns around to grab it.]

Chris: So, we want to grab the bar with our palms facing up and pull yourself up. This going to engage the back muscles and also engage the arms as well.
