Calisthenics uses bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, and dips to build functional strength and muscular endurance. This training method requires minimal equipment and can be performed anywhere. Calisthenics develops relative strength (strength-to-bodyweight ratio), body control, and coordination. As you progress, advanced movements like muscle-ups, handstands, and planches provide continuous challenge and progression without ever needing a gym membership.
