Fitness mats: for increased comfort 

Have a exercise mat at home will enable you to perform countless exercises to vary your workouts.

Whether for pilates, burpees, bodyweight training or muscle recovery, it's a real asset to have close at hand.

Take the plank, for example, which will tone your whole body, improve your posture and your abdominal muscles.

Ventral gainage involves lying face down on the floor, legs straight and arms bent, so that you're resting solely on your forearms. The aim is to contract the abdominals and glutes to the maximum, so as to support the weight of the body on the forearms and tiptoes.

Strive to maintain the perfect movement for as long as possible, and observe the results as you progress...

Parallettes: for safe practice

First of all, thespecific warm-up for doing push-ups on this equipment.

The only real sticking point here is probably the wrists. Don't hesitate to warm them up sufficiently beforehand, for example with a few mobility movements on the floor. Afterwards, a few reels orshoulder rotations will never hurt.

Place the push-up handles at the same level as the width of your shoulders. Then, very importantly, the shoulders in which you don't want to fall, on the contrary, you're going to want to push them forward as much as possible, then down.

The rest of the body is just as important. Specifically, it needs to be straight and contracted from the shoulders to the heels. All that's left are your legs, which you'll tighten, stretch and contract, while standing firmly on tiptoe.

And there you are, in a solid sheathing position, with almost every muscle in your body engaged, ready to chain your push-ups together and succeed.

Dips bars: become an AS of dips

For this position with dips barsplace your hands facing each other, with your thumbs around the bar. Get into the dips position, with your wrists just above the bar.

Stretch your arms 99%, without hyperextension, so that your muscles support the weight, not the joints. Turn your elbows inward.

Contract your abs, buttocks and legs, squeezing them together. Bend your elbows and lower to 90 degrees, then raise. On each repetition, stop briefly at the bottom to avoid bouncing, and keep your elbows close to your body.

Calisthenics bars: for maximum versatility
