This is a parallettes workout for basic strength and flexibility. All you need is a decent set of parallettes and you can use the push routine outlined in this video to get started. The workout includes a detailed warm-up, strength sets (main workout) plus a bonus HIIT cardio superset you can use to burn fat if that's one of your goals.
Although parallettes are more used in gymnastics, you'll also see them used by fitness enthusiasts for calisthenics, CrossFit and more. I recommend buying parallettes that meet your needs. If you're looking for something affordable, versatile and easy to travel with that allows you to learn all the basics, the StrongBlocks are the way to go (see link above). If you're looking for something bigger but sturdier that you can learn inversions with in the future, something larger like these Ultimate Body Press parallettes are a good option but cost a bit more: amzn.to/32JlMfD
This is the outline of the parallettes workout in the video...
Warm-up:
• Cat Cow (1 min)
• Toe Touches (1 min)
• Hamstring stretch (2-3 min)
• Core Compression (1 or 2 sets)
• Straight-arm plank
• Reverse plank
Strength Sets with 3 min rest between:
• current L-Sit Progression (5 sets)
• Pendulum Swing (5 sets)
• Deep Push-Ups (5 sets)
HIIT Cardio (optional):
• Toe Taps (1 min)
• Mountain Climbers (1 min)
(perform both 1-min intervals back-to-back, then rest 60 sec and repeat. Aim for 4-5 cycles or more)
I hope this workout is challenging for you. Stay tuned for an intermediate level parallettes routine where we'll learn bent-arm handstand and tucked planche!

Its not hard. Watch your words, you want to be more confident than that if you want to change your body. Start with holds, get strong in negitave movements and micro manage works wonders too ...Do your max set when ever you get time during your day to bust some out then wait awhile (1-2) hours and repeat max set. Do this all day long. I wrote all this because it hurts my heart to see someone saying parallets are too difficult. They are more like a adrenaline rush once u get started. U dont have to be great to get started ... You have to get started to be great! 💪🔥👍

Just found your channel and watch some videos. I like the way you explain. As a beginner I see many channels provide videos that are too advanced (clickbait?). But here you explain how to build strength, flexibility, and wrist strength slowly. Otherwise you'll just get injured or will not last in calisthenics. Greetings from Indonesia!

I’ve just ordered myself some parralettes to start this kind of practice. However, I already know from my dance and yoga practice, my arms are a bit short in ratio to my torso. When I sit in an ‘L’ and put my hands flat on the floor by my pelvis, my arms are as straight as they can go, there is no access to a bend at my elbow to be able to lift my body in that position like most people do. Is this meaning I’ll have to adapt exercises or do it still work for anatomy like mine? I know it means I can’t really do certain asanas hence why I ask

What paralleled do you recommend for a beginner intending to grow and do advanced workouts? The small ones look like you can outgrow them
@MinusTheGym 4 жыл бұрын
The bigger sturdier ones if you plan on learning inversions. The small ones are great for traveling so you can do L-sits, planche work and have push up grips on the road, but I'd never recommend inversions of any kind on the small collapsible ones.

Hi there. I recommend first working through the shoulder issues before working out hard so you avoid making the problem worse. You might want to check out my video on shoulder impingement. If your rotator cuff is getting pinched, this video will help. If it’s something else then I recommended getting checked by a physical therapist: Shoulder Impingement Fix For Rounded Shoulders kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbeemK2Dns2tnX0.html

cinetici I count reps rather than timing. Also, on the pendulums it's good to focus on slowing it down and gaining control as you make progress.

cinetici you don't have to, but if the sets are very intense (reaching muscular failure) then longer rests are good so you're as fresh as possible for each set. In a nutshell, if your primary objective is gaining strength, long rests for optimal sets is best. Short rests are good for working on endurance and fat burn.

ICheeekyI hey there. Currently I'm training hard to solidify my freestanding HSPUs (on the floor - not parallettes). I can get 1 or 2 reps in a set, but I'm arching badly. I'm trying to get those straight, solid and more consistent. I've also started training human flag but it feels like that will be a long journey :) Physique-wise I honestly haven't had any goals lately, but I plan to drop body fat soon, aiming for 8% or less, so I can make a video about how to lean out.

3 or 4 times per week is good. Allow at least one day’s rest between sessions. If you try to do this on two consecutive days you’ll most likely not be fully recovered.
