What is calisthenics?
Calisthenics
A Training Method with Unlimited Possibilities
The term "calisthenics" comes from the Greek words "calos," meaning beautiful, and "sthenos," meaning strength, referring to the aesthetic value of building strength, body control, and body awareness. Though the concept is new to many, calisthenics training has roots that stretch back to ancient Greece and has been practiced by Shaolin monks for centuries.
Historically, this form of training is celebrated for its effectiveness, as it allows you to build strength, mobility, and body control using only your own body weight as resistance.
In calisthenics, you work with exercises such as pull-ups, push-ups, squats, and planks, which can form the foundation for advanced moves like handstands, muscle-ups, planches, front levers, and back levers.
Calisthenics is a versatile training method, as all exercises can be adapted to an individual's level. This creates a community where everyone is challenged at their own pace, making training a focal point for personal development. Whether training to build foundational strength, stay strong throughout life, engage in low-risk strength training, or master advanced calisthenics skills, calisthenics serves all training ambitions.
Benefits of Calisthenics
- In calisthenics, it's not just about training your body – it's a journey toward increased body awareness and control.
- When you master new movements, you not only stimulate your muscles but also enhance your brain's ability to adapt and improve in response to training.
- When you regularly perform new movements or exercises, it creates new neural connections and strengthens existing ones, enhancing your motor control, body awareness, performance, and learning ability.
- This type of training not only offers physical strength and mobility but also improved body control and a deeper understanding of your own balance and movement.
