What are callisthenics, and why should you do them?
Calisthenics are exercises that rely solely on a person's own body weight for resistance. These exercises are done in a variety of intensities and rhythms. Light portable objects such as rings and wands are sometimes used in these workouts. Strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination are all improved with these activities. Calisthenics originated in ancient Greece and resurfaced in the early nineteenth century. These exercises are now used in the fitness training of athletes, military personnel, law enforcement officers, and others who want to stay in shape to warm up for rigorous activities or to help build up their bodies.
Exercise routine
10 pullups
-Place yourself in front of an exercise bar.
-With your arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, grab the bar from the top.
-Pull yourself up using your shoulder muscles, bringing your head over the bar.
10 Chinups
-Place yourself in front of an exercise bar.
-Grasp the bar with your arms in a tight, slightly closer-than-shoulder-width hold from underneath.
-Pull yourself up using your biceps, lifting your head over the bar.
20 Dips
-Stand within a dip bar and pull yourself off the ground with your arms and shoulders.
-To move up and down, bend your elbows back and use your tricep muscles.
-If you don't have access to a dip bar, you can do dips on an exercise ball or bench with your feet on the ground and knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
25 Jump squats
-Stand with your back to the camera and your feet parallel to the ground, precisely beneath your shoulders.
-Step your feet apart a few inches and point your toes slightly outward.
-Lower yourself into a squat by bending your knees and dropping your hips back and down.
-Maintain an erect posture with your head and face forward.
-Get into as deep a squat as you can and then blast upwards into a jump.
Never extend your knees over your toes since this transfers the squat's strain to your knee joints. Your knee joints may be injured as a result of this.
20 Pushups
-Get down on your knees and position your hands slightly outside, but underneath, your shoulders.
-To get into "plank" position, extend your legs while holding your body up with your arms.
-Make sure your back doesn't slump or your backside sticks up into the air.
-Bend your elbows tight to your torso and lower your body until your chest is practically touching the floor.
-When your upper torso is in the lower pushup position, your upper arms should make a 45-degree angle.
-While in the lower position, take a breath and swiftly push yourself back up to the beginning position.
-Throughout the movement, keep your abdomen, or core, contracted.
