7. Jump rope for endurance and coordination

An often underestimated but extremely effective tool for your calisthenics training is the jump rope. It's perfect for improving your fitness, endurance, and coordination.

Another important accessory for your calisthenics training is wraps. They provide additional protection and stability for joints, especially during exercises that place high stress on the wrists, knees, or elbows. FitnessKIT offers high-quality wraps that are very useful for both bodyweight exercises and advanced movements like muscle-ups or handstands. They ensure that you protect your joints without restricting your range of motion.

Bandages are especially recommended for athletes who perform intensive calisthenics exercises or focus on advanced movements. They protect your joints from overload and help you train longer and more safely.
