It’s rare to find an exercise that has so many benefits and is also fun. Chloe Hodson wrote in her Instagram Reels: Chloe Pilates Hanging from a bar is “the best exercise you can do for your shoulder health,” she says, “relieving pressure on your joints, increasing mobility, strengthening your muscles, and improving your posture,” and she shares some surprising benefits, too.
Hanging from a bar is an ideal exercise for anyone with shoulder or back problems. “By releasing pressure in the shoulder joint and improving mobility and strength, hanging can help reduce shoulder pain, especially if you have conditions like impingement syndrome or frozen shoulder,” Hodson explains. It’s also good for your back: “Hanging releases pressure in the spine, reducing back pain and improving overall spinal health,” Hodson writes.
