While pumping out my daily “morning” set of handstand pushups, NOSE TO THE FLOOR! Style – and in MY style, which is far harder and more beneficial than most other ways out there, I thought of this.

It came to me, as that heart BE a pounding.

That being, leading by example.

Many moons ago, I installed a chining bar at home for my daughter.

It was the same one which couldn’t take yours truly’s weight all those years ago when he was overweight.

No problemo. Yours truly headed to the park, and still does! Can’t replicate thick bar workouts by ANYTHING else …

But home “doorway” chinning bars can give you a hell of a workout too, and can be used by ALL ages, but unfortunately isn’t.

I had one growing up, but my Dad never actually “did the thing” (mostly because he couldn’t himself), and so after the initial novelty, the damn thing just “stayed there” until YEARS later when yours truly came from a brief hiatus from China and had some of the best ADVANCED pull-up workouts of his LIFE on it.

Anyway, what do I remember?

When doing handstand pushups, I didnt “ask my daughter” to do ‘em with me. She was 3 at the time, but she thought it was great fun, and jumped in with her little hands and feet trying to do ‘em!

I merely passed on the “how” of how to do these to her.

Which for kids the form is DIFFERENT.

But, the point begets.

That being that she did ‘em, and without any coaxing from my end.

And still does ‘em!

I passed on the tip of “workouts done throughout the day” to her in a whispered “conspiratoral” no-one else knows “whisper to the ear”.

Thats how you do it with kids!

Pretty soon, she was pumping ‘em out while doing her daily dose of dumbphone videos …

And hence Kiddie Fitness, hehe.

And lest you think this works for kids alone, think again.

I was giving my wife some basic safety techniques on the doorway chinning bar a while back (because it collapsed once with my weight – but to be honest, that was YEARS ago) …

“I know you won’t do ‘em”, I began hurriedly.

After all, everything Rahul does is stupid, hehe. Why would she.

The answer stunned me, to be honest.

“Of course I will! If you can be a monkey, so can I!”

I must confess I was left GAPING.

My wife doing pull-ups??

“Sure, you CAN and you SHOULD!” I went. “But I had no idea that I ….”

I left off, grinning.

But you get the point.

And therein lies the point of LEADING – by EXAMPLE.

Do the right thing – and do it yourself first.

DO the exercises first – and do’em yourself first!

And watch the rest of the world JUMP in.

Could be what I described above, or the crowds that chant “Da Xing Xing” and try to join in China.

Inspiration never goes “unnoticed”!

Best,

PS #2 – And doorway chinning bars can be a POWERFUL tool even for those of you used to more advanced stuff. Believe me, that thang stares you in the face and dares you to do MORE every time you walk past it!

PPS – I’ve always maintained, and have backed this up with PICTURES (on social media back when I used it) that women can, and SHOULD do pull-ups – as well as many styles of push-ups – and definitely hanstand pushups. NO, you won;t become a behemoth by doing ‘em – but you’ll get TONED and muscular – which is what y’all want anyway. Get on the train NOW, ladies. You have NO excuses either, hehe.

(Give y’all a nice Gorilla Grip for them hecklers, hehe)
