4. Repeat until set is complete.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
When doing pulse ups contract your abs and glutes and lift your legs. Pause for a second and then return to the starting position. Keep your abs engaged at all times and lower your hips slowly, to prevent back injuries. Breathe in as you lower your hips and breathe out as you lift them.
