    I got a pullup bar and do a lap around the office if I get bored. Lost 65 pounds with minimal effort after being off medication. Other people notice before you do and its a bit of a surprise.

      I had a pullup bar too when I was young, I got my back to ridiculous shape by doing a few pullups every now and then. Like people were surprised - I do pushups like a geriatric paraplegic, then go to a pullup bar and do a set of 20 with perfect form.

      And yeah, people went “oh you lost a bunch of weight!” When I said “naaah I eat the same live the same”. Then I stepped on the scale and wow.

        I went from not able to lift my fat ass to 10 pull ups in less than a year and only crank out a few if I walk past and got energy to burn.
