【Tips for body shaping】:

The "reverse parallel bars" exercise mainly trains the back of the arms. During the exercise, you should avoid compressing your shoulders and wrists. It is important to keep your head straight and your body stable during the movement. Pay attention to the stability of the core muscles, maintain normal breathing and do not hold your breath to prevent compression of the lumbar spine.

Do 4 sets of reverse parallel bar exercises, 15 times each time, with a rest period of 1 minute.
