CALISTHENICS
PROGRAM
The word calisthenics comes from the ancient Greek words kallos, which means ¨perfect¨, and sthenos, meaning ¨strength¨.
Calisthenics is inspired by the training technique taught to warriors in ancient Greece and requires full mind and body concentration.
It is a form of exercises that use one’s body weight as resistance, and consists of a variety of simple, often performed rhythmically movements designed to increase physical strength and flexibility. When performed vigorously and with variety, these exercises not only can improve psychomotor skills, such as balance, agility, and coordination, but they can also benefit muscle and cardiovascular health.
Sports teams and military units often perform group Calisthenics, as a form of synchronized physical training, in order to increase group coherence and discipline. Calisthenics is also popular as components of physical education in primary and secondary education internationally.
In addition to the various stretches, some of the more common calisthenic exercises include:
Pull-ups
Push-ups
Squats
ABS
Planks
Dips
Jumps
Burpees
Repeated Calisthenics exercises help develop high levels of body strength and can be used to achieve muscle stimulation.
