Calisthenics = Beautiful Strength Have you always wanted to do a pull up? Now is your opportunity to learn how to build strength safely using your own bodyweight. Calisthenics is all about having fun and building friendships and community. Calisthenics is a form of exercise using pull, push and holding static positions working on full body strength. Increasing or decreasing how much you use your limbs and levers to change the level and resistance level of the particular exercise. Take a push up for example and learn about many ways to increase or decrease the resistance. Here are just a few to show how scaleable using bodyweight is from beginner to advanced: • Wall push ups • Incline push ups (hands higher) • Kneeling push ups • Full push ups • Decline push ups (feet higher) • Pike push ups (in a v shape) • Ring push ups (using gym rings) • Straight bar push ups • Archer push ups (wide up and over) • Typewriter push ups (sliding side to side) • Narrow / wide / diamond / sudo / planch (different hand positions) • Clapping pushups • Weighted or banded pushups (adding weight) All exercises are scaleable and using resistance bands to assist you, changing the angle of the exercise or adding weight to increase how much strength is involved. With the right guidance, learning about form, posture and positioning you can increase your strength safely while conditioning your whole body.
