This is an article about Bodyweight Training that really good for men and women. Some people call Bodyweight training as Calisthenics training or vice versa.

Testimony: I have tried this training by my own self and the result is quite amazing. :) I just can say Wow! lol It will improve your stamina, agility, and so on. :)



Here is the video about the guy who inspires me to do the bodyweight / Calisthenics training:


WHAT IS CALISTHENICS?
Calisthenics is an unofficial sport of bodyweight exercises. This sport is unique because it requires little to no training apparatus or equipment. Calisthenics is accessible anywhere and everywhere, imagination is the only limitation. There are many advantages to bodyweight training.

ADVANTAGES
It is beneficial in all ways physically. Whereas heavy weight lifting may have an impact on your joints, impacting the growth of children and teens, calisthenics has no dangers of the sort. In fact, the stretching out of the skeleton during exercises such as pull ups can improve your posture and often help prevent or cure back problems.

1. Calisthenics is absolutely free, requiring no equipment. The only limitation is the imagination. Tree branches, the floor, curbes, benches can all be used for this sport.
2. Bodyweight exercises have been shown to benefit not just the young, but the elderly also.
3. Improves overall stamina, strength, energy, agility, coordination, balance, and promotes overall fitness for your health.
4. Can improve mental health just as it does psycho-motor skills like balance and coordination. It can boost your self-esteem.
5. Calisthenics is available for everyone with any type of genetics. It is a common misconception to think that people with thicker bones aren’t suited for this sport. That is not true.
