Childhood Obesity Prevention That Generates Instant and Delayed Gratification Simultaneously

Teaching kids to immunize themselves against obesity by helping them learn to perform pull ups (obese kids can’t do pull ups) with a height adjustable pull up bar (HAPUB) and leg assisted pull ups (LAPU’s) provides instant and delayed gratification simultaneously. Check out the following strategy.

Height Adjustable Pull Up Bars and Leg Assisted Pull Ups
Using a height adjustable pull up bar allows students to start with their feet planted firmly on the ground in order to perform a leg assisted variety, where they’re encouraged to jump and pull at the same time. The bar is placed low enough that participants can do at least eight leg assisted reps in their first workout, succeeding right away in front of their peers, creating immediate gratification.

Learning to Love Pull Ups
In workout number two they’re allowed to do nine, in workout number three they do ten, in workout number four they do eleven, and in workout number five they do twelve leg assisted pull ups. When they can do twelve LAPU’s, the bar is raised one full inch, and the entire eight to twelve repetition scenario is repeated all over again. Done correctly most participants will improve just a little bit, every time they workout for eight or ten weeks straight, and in the process they lose their fear of the bar and actually learn to look forward to their opportunity to perform successfully, in public.
