With all the variety of trendy fitness forms such as Tabata, fly
yoga, Zumba, Crossfit, and so on, calisthenics seems an old-school term that is long forgotten. In fact, you probably already do calisthenics without actually realizing it! What’s your immediate response when you decide you need that 6-pack? Crunches. What does every girl pray on to get a bigger butt? Squats. What are those guys doing in the park? Pull-ups and “around the world.” And these are all calisthenic exercises.
