Jump rope
The various methods of jumping rope serve as a way of strengthening your cardiovascular system and improving your overall endurance.
Muscles engaged in jumping rope are the calves, forearms, shoulders, and even your core.
You can find jump rope exercises within some of the new Freeletics signature God workouts located in the Explore section of the App.
Pullup bar
Using a Pullup bar is a great way to use your bodyweight to strengthen your back and core in various ways. Beginners can use resistance bands to progress their way to more complex movements. Advanced Free Athletes can use the addition of a weight belt or any of the various Pullup variations to constantly push yourself to the limit.
By incorporating the Pullup bar into your training you can add exercises that target your back, biceps, and core.
You can find Pullup bar exercises in many of our signature God workouts as well as the Single Exercise section of the Explore tab.
