How to use it

Use

For simple use of the parallel bars, stand facing the bars and grasp them at the corner. Gently move your feet forward to align your body parallel to the bottom of the bars. Keep your body straight and use your arms to raise and lower your upper body. For a more advanced exercise, stand over the bars, arms straight, and hold the bars horizontally. You can then perform dips to work the triceps, or raise the legs to target the abdominal muscles. Choose the exercise that suits your level for a complete workout.
