Milind, 60, shared a snippet of his recent 30-seconds-up, 30-seconds-down training on Instagram, saying, “I try to do pull-ups as often as possible.” Occasionally, I switch it up with 30 seconds up and 30 seconds down—it’s a fantastic variation, give it a shot! DISCLAIMER: This article draws from publicly available information and/or insights from the experts we consulted. Consult your health practitioner before beginning any routine. Milind’s ’30 seconds up, 30 seconds down’ pull-up method emphasizes a technique called slow or tempo training, according to consultant dietitian and fitness expert Garima Goyal. Rather than executing the movement rapidly, the exercise is intentionally slowed to extend the duration muscles are under tension. “This approach can make bodyweight exercises much more challenging and effective,” added Goyal. Pullups mainly target the latissimus dorsi, upper back, shoulders, and biceps, while also engaging the core for stability.
