Bodyweight exercises
Redirected from "Calisthenics"
Exercises that use only your body weight as resistance don't require any special equipment. This type of workout is a fantastic method to increase strength, improve flexibility, and boost overall fitness.
Calisthenics is a type of bodyweight training that emphasizes using simple, natural movements to engage several muscle groups simultaneously. Push-Ups, Squats, and Pull-Ups are exercises that can be done with a high intensity to increase strength, coordination, and endurance.
Push-Ups are a well-known calisthenics exercise that involves pushing your body up from a prone position, targeting the chest, triceps, and shoulders. You can target particular muscle groups or make the exercise more challenging with different Push-Up variations.
Another essential calisthenics exercise is Squats, which work your glutes, as well as your legs. For this exercise, you sit back as if in a chair, then push back to the starting position.
You do Pull-Ups by hanging from a bar or other stable object and pulling yourself up to the bar. This works your back, arms, and grip strength. You can change the difficulty level of this exercise by altering grip widths or performing Chin-Ups, which use a position where your palms face towards you.
The plank is a bodyweight exercise that focuses on the core, including the back and abdominal muscles. You hold a position similar to a push-up, but without movement, for an extended time to do a plank.
Bodyweight workouts are practical because you can do them almost anywhere. They are also easily adaptable to varying difficulty levels, making them suitable for individuals of all fitness abilities.
