In calisthenics, you use your body’s resistance and gravity to strengthen your muscles. Exercises such as squats, lunges, crutches, and push-ups fall under this category. The best part about calisthenics is that it is excellent for beginners, and you can do them anywhere and at any time, as it does not require any equipment. It improves balance, endurance, coordination, and flexibility.
Once you become more used to such workouts, you can change your routine to challenge yourself – all it requires is body awareness, creativity, practice, and consistency. You can even try the many variations of these exercises. For instance, if you have mastered push-ups on your toes, you can try the advanced versions in the forms of spider push-ups, decline push-ups, or planche push-ups.
Simple equipment can take your fitness levels up a notch. For example, you can use a resistance band to facilitate gains in strength and power. You can also use a pull-up bar for exercises, including pull-ups, hanging knee raises, chin-ups, and muscle-ups.
