Consider buying door anchors for a quick indoor workout. For more advanced exercises you'll need a horizontal bar or beam to fling the straps over. If you don't have one at home, head down to your nearest playground or outdoor gym and look for parallel bars, a set of monkey bars or even a swing frame work well too.

You can even hang from solid tree branches if you live in a leafy area. Just make sure you give the rings a good tug before use to check the beam will hold your weight.

Your new gymnastic rings are light and portable and are designed to be used outside.

However, in order to maintain their grip, the wood is natural and untreated which means it is not waterproof. Leaving your rings out in the rain will cause the wood to deteriorate and crack.

The solution is simple, just unclip the rings when you finish your workout and store them inside where it's dry.

Like anything worth having, it takes time. Patience and consistency are your best friends when working out with gymnastic rings, so don’t be too hard on yourself if you struggle to see the results right away.

However, if you stay patient and consistently complete exercises 3-4 times per week, you should feel noticeably stronger after as little as 4 weeks and see muscle definition changes after 6-8 weeks.
