The Benefits of Using Parallettes in Your Training (2025)

Parallettes are one of the most versatile tools for bodyweight training, offering a wide range of benefits for athletes of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner working on foundational strength or an advanced athlete mastering handstands, parallettes are essential for improving strength, stability, and mobility. Peregrine Performance offers parallettes in three sizes—small, medium, and long—each with unique benefits tailored to different training goals. Here’s why parallettes deserve a spot in your workout routine:

✅ 1. Improved Wrist Health and Reduced Strain
Traditional floor exercises can place a lot of stress on your wrists. Parallettes provide a neutral grip, reducing strain and making exercises like push-ups, dips, and L-sits more comfortable. This ergonomic design is particularly beneficial for anyone recovering from wrist issues or aiming to prevent them.

✅ 2. Strength and Muscle Development
Parallettes challenge your muscles in new ways by increasing the range of motion for exercises like push-ups and dips. This extended range helps to engage more muscle fibers, leading to better strength and muscle development. The different sizes allow you to target various aspects of your training:

🥇 Peregrine Trail bars: Perfect for compact movements like push-ups, tuck planches, and L-sits. Their low height makes them easy to use at home or on the go.
🥈 Peregrine Ridge Bars: Great for exercises requiring slightly more elevation, such as tricep dips and deeper push-ups. They provide a balance between versatility and portability.
🥉 Peregrine Summit Bars: Ideal for dynamic exercises like handstand push-ups or elevated rows, offering added stability and a broader range of motion.

✅ 3. Core Stability and Balance
Training with parallettes demands core engagement to maintain stability, especially during balance-intensive exercises like handstands, planches, or tucks. The elevated platform also helps beginners safely practice these skills while gradually building strength and confidence.

✅ 4. Versatility for All Skill Levels
Parallettes are adaptable to every fitness level. Beginners can use them for modified push-ups and core holds, while advanced athletes can explore skills like handstand presses and planche progressions. Having all three sizes lets you scale your training as you progress.

✅ 5. Portable and Durable Training Tool
Unlike bulky gym equipment, parallettes are lightweight and easy to store or transport. This portability makes them perfect for home gyms, outdoor workouts, or traveling. Peregrine Performance parallettes are designed with sturdy construction and comfortable foam grips, ensuring durability and comfort no matter where you train.
