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: https://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!
