Introduction
Everyone starts as beginners with exercise before they achieve anything. This is true in any form of training associated with fitness. Yet many people feel inadequate to join a gym or even take on a training regime in the comfort of their own home.
Unless you possess knowledge on how to train to reach your goals, it can become very frustrating to persist to the point where you reach your physical goals. Your lack of knowledge results in frustration because you dont know how to achieve real results. This is especially true for anyone who wants to lose weight. Losing weight is the wrong phrase. It should be replaced with losing fat because thats the sustainable way to shed pounds permanently. Regardless of the average persons goals, whatever it may be, there are a lot of people who specifically want to trim down and lose a couple of pant sizes. When I refer to a lot, its more than you can imagine. The obesity rate in the U.S. was as high as 40% in 2019, with a slight increase of 2% in 2020. Thats almost half of the countrys population, and that percentage is only increasing over time (Galvin G, 2020).
If losing weight isnt a goal yet, it should be because of the health implications excess fat holds for a person in the long-term, and believe me, there are a lot of health problems that accompany excess visceral fat around the waist that negatively affect the bodys organs. As you can imagine, any excess fat you have in your stomach area piles up on your organs, which places pressure on them, and requires them to function at a more difficult and strenuous rate. The more weight you carry around your waist, the unhealthier you are. Many people know this, which makes the fact that so many people eat bad things and dont workout. all the worse.
Perhaps one of the worst side effects of the repetitive cycle of trying to lose weight and quitting again and again is that many people lose hope. They eventually give up because theyre tired of trying or believe they dont have the facilities, or whatever it takes to get in shape. While giving up wont get you anywhere, there is something that absolutely can. Its calisthenics training, which is the perfect option for at-home exercise because it only involves using your own body weight. As a result of its simplicity, you can skip the gymwhich most people seem to dread nowadays. Since you wont have to go to a gym, you can save money on the hefty membership that you did or didnt use, have fun getting fit and, finally, reach the aesthetic goals youve always wanted to achieve.
Today, there are countless information sources available on the internet about different types of exercise methodsincluding calisthenicsyet people still choose to go backwards with their health instead of discovering what works for them.
The fitness industry has changed over time. For the past century, fitness with the right health-based approach barely existed up until the 2000s. Weight loss trends changed practically every decade depending on what was considered healthy or unhealthy. With the boom of the fitness industry, people were drawn to gyms. If they didnt have access to a gym, there would be excuses not to exercise at all, resulting in many people avoiding it altogether. However, in the past decade, people have gone from not working out at all or working out primarily at the gym, to making an effort at home. That option is much more convenient for the majority of individuals who work jobs or have to be at home with their kids, or meet other daily responsibilities.
Given the rushed life our generation lives, calisthenics has become one of the most popular training methods implemented by people at home due to its effective and myriad results. However, many people are still so uninformed that they dont even know what the word calisthenics means, even if theyve been performing exercises of this sort at home. This is evident with online workouts that incorporate different types of training methods. Since there are so many people who are yet to embark on an effective fitness journey, theres a lot to learn, like understanding why it is important to maintain a mobile, healthy, and fit body.
