The training focuses more on control and static positions that create huge benefits in not just your body shape but your performance as well. You really find out about all your weakest muscles when you use parallettes, which is why the results you achieve probably come so quickly. Early in his career James experienced a lot of benefits with Parallettes and then developed loads of variations to make training with parallettes accessible for everyone to have fun with. They really are a tool everyone can use. Anyone looking to amp up their core training or create some variety in their upper body workouts will get a lot from training with parallettes.
