Agility Training: Aside from gymnastic strength work, the parallettes can be repurposed as small hurdles for footwork and agility drills.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe down the 1.5" handles with a damp cloth after sweaty workouts or to remove excess chalk. This preserves the grip and lifespan of the textured powder coat.
Storage: To prevent potential oxidation (rusting) of the steel frame, it is highly recommended to store the parallettes indoors in a dry, climate-controlled environment.
End Caps: Ensure the protective plastic end caps remain securely in place to prevent dirt, debris, or moisture from entering the tubular steel.
