Hello welcome to my first tutorial about calisthenics, training with own body. All this is wrote by myself, please don't copy without my agree. Let's start.

 

1.Calisthenics - what is this?

Calisthenics is a training with own body, it's based on a smart exercises like a push ups, pull ups, squats. It's often combined with stretching. Calisthenics is healthy for our body. She improves motor coordination, agility and balance. Another name of calisthenics is street workout (from name, training outdoor) but calisthenics can be done in house, street workout outdoor on street workout park. It is used on army trainings and in school.

 

2. Basic exercises in Calisthenics

First basic exercises is push up. He looks that: 

Push ups are good on all muscles in body, because are also 50+ variants of push ups (

)

 

About technics I would write in another topic (Technics in Calisthenics)

Next exercises are dips:

There are good for chest, shoulders and tricep.

Okay, another is pull up! Army pull up!

Like in push ups, there are a lot of variants in pull ups. Chin ups, Shoulder pull ups etc.(

)

But pull ups are good for back and arms.

Time for lower body, Squats, a lot of people who do calisthenics, skip legs and looks like chicken (but in another type of calisthenics, freestyle like a static and dynamic moves, big legs are obstacle).

I'm too don't doing legs because I'm starting in events street workout like a Poland Championship freestyle. When I would train more for body less for static and dynamic moves I would do legs!

 

3.Types of Calisthenics

Time for type of calisthenics, I would smart write about all of types. We have official this types: Training for body, Training for movement, Training for static, Training for dynamic, Training for freestyle, Training with weights, Training all on in.

Let's start for body:

3.1 Training for body.

Training for body, like a name says it's training where we doing basic exercises like I up write. We add to this healthy diet, some exercises for abs and we have nice body. 

3.2 Training for movement

This type is based on basic exercises too but we don't normal reps. We do more explosives, more dynamic reps to reach more movement and endurance. To this we add stretching. This type of training is good for runners, football players, etc.

3.3 Training for static.

It's my the best type of training. Static moves like a handstand, planche, front lever. In this training after reach 20 pull ups, 50 push ups we can start for progression in kind of static moves (more about static in different topic).

Some static moves:

 

 

3.4 Training for dynamic.

It's training based on dynamic moves, like a swing 360, ginger, shrimp flip, 540. It's the hardest type of training because a lot of people are scary about hiting head on the bar etc. But it's hard to hit the bar head because hands help us to protect hesd. Some dynamic moves:

 

 

3.5 Training for freestyle

It's include static and dynamic moves on bar. Like a swing 360 and planche. If you have time watch this video, its a beautiful event with the best athletes in the world.

 

3.6 Training with weights

Some people said: Its not Calisthenics!!!! Yes I know but a lot of people add to exercises like pull ups or dips weights to build more muscles. It's build big mass of muscles. I recommend this to people who hard build muscles.

3.7 Training all on in.

It's my training. In first day I train static and dynamics after this I do some basic exercises. In second day I stretching. And once in month I train with weights. All on In!!

 

Next topic would be trainings and exercises for beginners! If you have question, just ask! 💪✋
