July Fitness Challenge: Flexed Arm Hang

July 2, 2015

It's a staple for the President's Physical Fitness Challenge and now it's the Island Health & Fitness July Fitness Challenge. The Flexed Arm Hang is a pull-up progression exercise that measures upper body strength and endurance by timing how long someone can hang with their chin above a bar.

Watch the demonstration video then ask one of our trainers to take the challenge.
