If it is not possible to visit the gym often, and there is a desire to maintain muscle tone, then a homemade horizontal bar will come to the rescue. It can be done at home, the main thing is to prepare all the necessary materials in advance.
It is necessary
A jigsaw, a piece of board or thick plywood, a crossbar, three screws, a drill, a tape measure, paint
Instructions
Step 1
The horizontal bar is a wooden or metal bar. The most important feature of the bar is its strength. It must support the weight of a person while doing repeated pull-ups.
Step 2
Determine where to hang the horizontal bar. The best place in the apartment is the doorway. Measure the distance of the doorway with a tape measure. The crossbar should be the same length. It is more correct to measure the height of the horizontal bar fastening so that the opening structures are exactly parallel.
Step 3
Select the crossbar material. You can buy a profile pipe with a diameter of 30 mm and a length of a little over a meter in a building materials store. But you can also make a crossbar from improvised means, such as taking a wooden handle from a shovel. You can also find a strong stick on the street or buy a bar and trim it to the desired crossbar diameter.
Step 4
Prepare a piece of board or thick plywood. Plywood or a piece of board must be cut out according to the diameter of the jambs and along the height of about 10 cm. Thus, a kind of loop circles will be obtained. Install horizontal bar cuttings on them. Using a jigsaw, make a semicircle with the radius of the bar, i.e. if the diameter of the horizontal bar is 30 mm, then the radius will be 15 mm.
Step 5
Drill three holes below the semicircle for fasteners, screws. Make these holes 1 mm smaller in diameter.
Step 6
Drill the same three holes at the attachment point of the doorway.
Step 7
So that the horizontal bar does not catch the eye, but serves as an additional detail of the interior, paint the crossbar and wooden hinges in the color of the door.
Step 8
Once the structure is dry, screw it back in place. Insert the crossbar into the slot-loops.
Step 9
The horizontal bar is ready. The crossbar turned out to be removable, which allows it to be used for other purposes. For example, you can roll it with your feet, thereby massaging the feet, or use it to develop the muscles of the shoulder and forearm.
