I most certainly appreciate the words of caution! The destabilizing of the rings works many muscles at once. I am starting very slowly. Push ups, pull ups, dips (all assisted in one form or another). I did my first work out on them last night. (That was the whole purpose of cleaning out the attic in the first place--which started this thread.) I used to climb a lot. Trying to get back into shape. Maybe I should start a Kirkham gym thread
