One way to ensure you are able to get a workout just about anywhere is either to workout without equipment or have equipment that is highly portable. While chin ups are one of the best basic workout moves you can do, there are not a lot of easy options when it comes to doing them on the road. There are portable chin up bars, but many of them border on unsafe and there is another option that provides nearly the same quality workout with major portability.

Resistance bands are highly effective and highly underrated. They can be used in a wide range or exercise moves and are the ultimate in portable fitness equipment. In a pinch they can take the place of hand weights, numerous gym machines, and even portable chin up bars.

When used with a cardio belt, they can even give you a great source of resistance for indoor cardio training. When paired with a door attachment, resistance bands become a variety of workout tools including a perfect replacement for a portable chin up bar. They can be shoved in a desk drawer, suitcase, or briefcase and be used in a hotel room or even your office on a break.

The vast majority of people looking to purchase a portable chin up bar will consider a tension mounted bar. While these can serve their purpose, a quick look at consumer reviews online will show that they also pose more than their share of issues. Some tension mounted pull up bars are known to crack door frames when tightened too much and fall, potentially causing injury, when not tightened enough.

When you spend time on the road or away from your home chin up bar, you want an alternative that is safe, effective, and easy to pack away. Resistance bands are the best option when it comes to offering the same benefits of a portable chin up bar and more.
