Calisthenics is a form of exercise that involves using bodyweight movements and minimal equipment to develop strength, flexibility, endurance, and overall physical fitness. It is a type of workout that primarily relies on the resistance and weight of the body itself to provide the necessary challenge and stimulus.
The word “calisthenics” is derived from the Greek words “kalos” (meaning beautiful) and “sthenos” (meaning strength). The practice of calisthenics dates back thousands of years and has been used in various cultures and physical training systems.
Calisthenics exercises can include a wide range of movements such as push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, planks, jumping jacks, burpees, dips, and many others. These exercises can target different muscle groups and can be modified or progressed to accommodate various fitness levels.
