5 REASONS TO START CALISTHENICS IN 2023
Calisthenics is a form of training that uses body weight resistance to build strength, improve fitness and build a beautiful physique. There are many benefits to incorporating calisthenics into your workout routine, including:
- Skill training:
In our experience, having a skill goal is incredibly motivating. It gives you purpose in your training to continuously improve towards your chosen skill. Common skill goals at Dalecki Strength are handstand balance, handstand push up, ring muscle up, lever, one arm chin up, middle splits, back bridge and bar muscle up.
2. Improved strength:
Calisthenics exercises such as push ups, pull ups, leg raises and squats, target multiple muscle groups and lead to increased strength, toned physique and overall competence with movement. At Dalecki Strength studio, all the classes are structured and planned with progressive overload, to ensure our students are building strength over time.
3. Increased flexibility and balance:
Calisthenics skills requires a great deal of control and coordination, which can help to improve your balance and flexibility over time. Some movements we work on for balance include, single leg deadlifts, pistol squats, shrimp squats, handstands as well as single leg balances on parallettes and handstands. Coordination exercises include, pull ups, muscle ups, skin the cats, hurdles, round offs and pull overs.
4. Fun and creativity:
Calisthenics offers a wide range of movements and variations, allowing for creativity and variety in your workouts, making them more enjoyable and less repetitive.
5. Cost effective:
When starting your body weight training journey, it is very important to invest and hire a skilled coach so that you can learn every movement with proper form. This will help to prevent learning bad habits and poor form. When you learn correctly from day one, you will save yourself time and money in the future
