A beautiful body without a gym is real

What is Calisthenica

The word "kalistenika" comes from the combination of the Greek words kallos - "beauty" and sthenos - "strength."

If you like the dried, muscular body of athletes, try a few workouts and decide if calisthenics is right for you or not.

Where to find a training program

Among other advantages, calisthenics is a fairly economical sport. You do not need to buy a gym membership, it is enough to find horizontal bars on the street in the summer, and in the winter to work out on the horizontal bar and parallel bars at home.

You can also do without a coach, using the variety of information on the Internet. To get started, you can watch videos on YouTube. For example, the same Chris Heria on his channel tells how to start calisthenics classes.

Check out the channel of renowned trainer and calisthenics author Al Kavadlo. Here you will find training plans and exercise progression from the simplest to the most difficult.

Many bodyweight workouts can be found on the Calisthenics & Weight Training YouTube channel. Here's a playlist of calisthenics workouts.

You can find a few more workouts for beginners and some techniques for performing some exercises on the BaristiWorkout channel.

Also, free training programs in Russian can be found on the website workout.su, and if you do not mind buying training in English, you can do it on the websites of Calisthenic Academy, School of Calisthenic or THENX.
