How to Hang P90X Bands From a Ceiling

P90X is a popular fitness program that combines several different types of strength training with cardiovascular exercises to build muscle and burn more fat at the same time. P90X has a variety of equipment that is used with the program, including resistance bands, which are used in place of free weights. These bands can be used in several exercises, and attaching them to the ceiling allows you to use them for overhead exercises like pull downs and pullups.

      Use a stud finder to locate the wooden frame on the ceiling. Attaching the hooks without driving them into the wooden frame would lead to the drywall ripping and being unable to support your weight.

      Attach the hooks to the ceiling by using drywall screws to drive through the ceiling and attach to the wooden frame. Make sure to place the hooks about 2 to 3 inches apart, and attach both parallel to one another to the wooden frame.

      Drape the P90X resistance bands across the two hooks so both ends hang down in front of you equally. By using two hooks, there is more support and it makes it less likely that you could pull the hooks out of the ceiling.
