What is calisthenics??
Calisthenics contains any form of strength training where you mainly use your own bodyweight and is often referred to “bodyweight training”.The main goal with calisthenics is to control your own body. However, we do not see calisthenics just as beautiful power, but as a great personal adventure in which you can discover yourself. It is so much more than just strength training like gym exercises. Calisthenics challenge you both mentally and physically to get the best out of yourself.
Basics
With the basics we mean the exercises as push ups, pull ups, dips and squats. Before you start with calisthenics, it is essential that you get the basics well under control. Even if you have more experience with calisthenics, the basics always remain an important element of your training.
Develop Real Functional Strength
With calisthenics you build real power. Why are we talking about real power? This is because with calisthenics you will learn to control your own bodyweight first before you start training with extra weights. In comparison with the gym, it’s the complete opposite. In the gym you often you see big/muscular guys pushing a lot of weights but if you ask them to make a muscle up or do an exercise with their own bodyweight, they often have troubles doing that. Note that we don’t have anything against this, in fact, that is how we started as well. But when we noticed the difference, it seemed more logical to us: first bodyweight, then extra weight.
In addition to this, with calisthenics you stimulate every small muscle fibers with all the compound bodyweight exercises, such as a handstand push up. As a result, your muscles will not become stiff due to isolated exercises, but they get super functional.
