INTRODUCTION
Wondering what Calisthenics is? I know most of you have no idea about this form of training. As people move towards discovering more and more opportunities to keep themselves fit and healthy, the need for the evolution of different forms of exercise is tremendously increasing.
You might have come across men who look completely ripped out and follow a specific training that you cannot even imagine doing. Say, for example, a guy doing pull-ups that don’t look similar to what you do. He might have pushed his upper body above the rod while doing the pull-ups. This is nothing but calisthenics. Now, let’s get to know everything from this blog.
WHAT IS CALISTHENICS
The term calisthenics is derived from the Greek words “Kallos” which means beauty and “sthenos” which means strength. This is nothing but building strength and endurance using your body weight instead of additional weighted equipment. Instead of specific muscle groups, calisthenics focuses on activating multiple muscle groups in your body.
Are you wondering how it is possible? Then you need to follow along with the blog.
THE EVOLUTION OF CALISTHENICS IN SINGAPORE
Calisthenics is gaining a lot more attention among the people in Singapore. The major reason that hinders your fitness journey is the convenience and availability. This form of training does not require equipment making it accessible to everyone irrespective of fitness goals. People in Singapore are trying to incorporate calisthenics into their daily fitness routine because it is easier to perform anywhere.
BENEFITS OF CALISTHENICS
Calisthenics has a lot of benefits in improving your overall health and fitness levels.
Improves functional strength: It helps to improve the functional strength of the body, which is nothing but enhancing your daily movements. As already mentioned, Calisthenics training activates multiple muscle groups in your body rather than specific muscle groups. For example, when you do pull-ups your lat muscles, muscles at the back and your biceps function together.
Builds Flexibility and Mobility: As a beginner in your fitness journey, it is more common to face issues with your body’s flexibility and mobility. But, when you practise calisthenics training, there are fewer chances of muscle tightening.
No need for equipment: Unlike traditional training methods, this type of training does not require any equipment or weights. You can practice anywhere. Just find a place and start doing it.
Suitable for all: You need not worry about your fitness levels. Even if you are a beginner and have no idea of how to perform, you can ace this form of training. All you need is the guidance of an expert personal trainer.
Enhances Body Balance: When you do any form of exercise, in the beginning, the chances of getting injured are higher. This is because you haven’t worked on enhancing your body balance levels. Calisthenics improves your overall body balance thereby avoiding injuries during your training. It is important to work on your core strength. Practice exercises like plank, headstands and single-leg movement training.
