What is Calisthenics?
Calisthenics is bodyweight training that builds strength, flexibility, and fitness through exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and squats. It’s versatile, scalable, and can be done anywhere.
Calisthenics has roots in ancient Greece, where it was used to train soldiers and athletes, deriving from the Greek words kallos (beauty) and sthenos (strength). It gained popularity in 19th-century Europe as part of physical education programs, promoting functional fitness through bodyweight exercises.
In recent decades, calisthenics has evolved into a global movement, blending traditional exercises with dynamic skills and freestyle performances, making it a popular sport and fitness discipline today.
