What is Calisthenics?

Why should you train Calisthenics?

Many of you might have heard the work "Calisthenics" but must be wondering what exactly it is , so your wait is over today I will guide you step by step, and by the end of this blog you will understand what is Calisthenics and why should you train Calisthenics?

So, let's start

The best definition of calisthenics?

• Calisthenics is a form of strength training consisting of a variety of movements that exercise large muscle groups (gross motor movements), such as running, standing, grasping, pushing, etc.
• It derives its name from two Greek words kálos which means beauty and sthénos

  which means strength. Calisthenics is a discipline in which you train your whole body using only bodyweight

  exercises. You have probably seen people doing gravity-defying gymnastic figures such as Front Lever and

  Planche or dynamic acrobatic skills on the bars such as Muscle Up. This is the sole idea of Calisthenics – to

  perform workouts with nothing else but your own body.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRAIN CALISTHENICS?

I could write down dozens of benefits of training Calisthenics, but I will stick to the

most

crucial ones. So is Calisthenics for you? Even though I do not know you, I can almost

surely say – YES.

NO EQUIPMENT NEEDED

If for whatever reasons you are not able to go to the gym on a regular basis there is

nothing wrong with that. Calisthenics exercises allow you to train wherever you like.

You only need a bit of floor space and a pull-up bar (you can get one from Amazon

for a few dollars).

DIFFERENT LEVEL OF EXERCISES

There are hundreds of variations of bodyweight exercises. That being said, it does not

matter if you are new to Calisthenics or have been actively training in various sports for

years. You will always and an exercise that challenges you. For example, a beginner

might stick to knee-assisted push-ups whereas an advanced athlete could go for one

arm push-ups. This holds true for any other movements so you will always and

something for yourself.

WEIGHT LOSS OR MUSCLE MASS GAIN

With Calisthenics you can lose weight as well as gain muscle mass. This only

depends on how you structure your workouts.

Remember that nutrition and caloric intake is crucial here as well.

DEVELOP NATURAL BODY STRENGTH

The beauty of Calisthenics is that you train using natural movements of your body.

Having said that, you develop natural body strength. You also involve all minor parts

of your muscles as well as strengthen your tendons and put in a good motion your

joints.

ADVANCED SKILLS

Do not get discouraged when you see all of these advanced movements. Out of

thousands of people training Calisthenics only a part of most devoted athletes decide

to go for the hardest skills like these written before. But if you are reading this we

assume that you are one of them. And we will teach you and show you how to do

Muscle Ups, Front Lever, Human Flag, Planche, and others.
