Calisthenics Training

Calisthenics is arguably the oldest form of exercise and it’s something that the vast majority of the world’s population has informally tried at some point.

That’s because in its most stripped down sense, calisthenics can be defined as using one’s own body to exercise. This means that even a simple daily activity like walking can technically fall under the calisthenics umbrella.

However, when most people think of calisthenics training, they are referring to using the primary bodyweight movements like pullups, pushups, dips, bodyweight squats, and situps to train.

Those are the foundational calisthenics movements, but in addition to those, there is a whole other advanced realm that slides in the direction of gymnastics, which is in itself a form of highly advanced calisthenics.

If you landed on this page and you’d like to get started with calisthenics training, the good news is that you have an entire library of resources available to you for free. Below you will find tutorials ranging from the most beginner level progressions to achieve your first pushup, to more advanced movements like muscleups and handstands.

So regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of ability, there is something here for you. Check it out:
