Paul Vidmar - CALISTHENICS FOR BEGINNERS: The Ultimate Step-By-Step Calisthenics Workout Guide with 100+ Bodyweight Exercises to Strengthen and Increase Your Body Flexibility (With Photos Demonstrations)

Calisthenics is an exercise that involves moving the body freely with different levels of rhythm and energy. The training covers such activities as jumping, stretching, swinging, bending, twisting, and kicking together with such movements as push-ups, chin-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups. Calisthenics uplifts endurance, muscle strength, flexibility, coordination, and general body well-being, through regular and controlled pressures on the cardiovascular system. There are eight working principles I have penned down to help those who wish to develop specific skills in calisthenics and are: 1. Start with the basics, 2. You are working on your previous progression, 3. Have a good rest, 4. Reduce reps and increase sets; 5. Film yourself as you go on training, 6. Get a training partner, 7. Always exercise patients, and finally, 8. Be consistent.

Calisthenics is primarily considered a vital activity, especially for beginners who are not yet ready for heavyweights. A standard view of these two concepts is that weight training is for muscular strength, while bodyweight training is for muscular endurance, or for preparing towards more tasking sports such as boxing or martial arts. It is a widespread view, especially for those hoping to engage in calisthenics exercise as beginners to compare it with other forms of activities they are already familiar with.
