Your Guide to use Parallettes effectively & how to choose the right ones

Variety and new muscle stimuli are the basis for a successful workout at home or outdoor. To get the most out of your performance, you should add new stimuli to your workout over time. The right parallettes support you in this.

  

Why Parallettes?

For most people, an outdoor or home workout is difficult. The number of exercises that can be performed is limited, the workout quickly becomes one-sided and the results quickly diminish. The muscles are not stimulated enough, and you hardly notice any training progress.  

Important: The training should always feel good and be fun. One-sidedness should be avoided, as it can quickly become boring and ineffective. 

With parallettes there are countless possibilities to make your training more exciting and effective. New exercises can be added to your training routine, as well as new calisthenics exercises such as the L-sit, handstand, or push-up variations. This adds variety and fun to your workout with new stimuli and more effective progress. Your wrists are protected by the optimized grip, and you can train everywhere with the parallettes, where and when you want.

 

How do you find the right Parallettes?

Workout Rings

To complete your workout, you can use Workout Rings. These offer you the possibility to complete your workout with pull ups and countless variations.

So if you need more variety and new stimuli in your workout, the gymnastics rings are perfect for that. In our ring guide, you will find all the important information on the subject.

 Liquid Chalk

Another useful tool in training with parallettes is Liquid Chalk, which provides an additional grip boost and thus supports balance exercises such as handstands. But basics like push ups and L-sits also benefit from a non-slip grip on the bars. The application of the chalk is very easy and can be easily washed off with water after training.

If you need a better grip during training, the Liquid Chalk is the right equipment for you.
