Calisthenics Fundamental focuses on building strength in the most natural form. This class helps you kick-start your Calisthenics journey even if you are a complete beginner.
Do not mistake "Fundamental" as easy. It simply means that the movement patterns you will be learning are not overly complex. You will be working with functional strength movements like push, pull, squat and hinge patterns, and so on.
What you will learn
You will learn progressions to become stronger, and be able to incorporate the knowledge for self practice.
- Push patterns such as push ups on a higher surface, working towards the ground, other complex forms of push-ups and dip variations.
- Pull patterns starting from ring rows working towards assisted pull-ups to a full pull-up unassisted. More advance practitioners will even work towards muscle ups combining both pull and push.
- Squat patterns such as box squats, horse stances, lunges, working towards single-leg biased patterns like Cossack squat, split squat, step-ups and pistols.
- Hinge patterns starting such as standing hinge, seated hinge, single leg hinge etc.
Why Calisthenics?
Calisthenics is definitely something everyone should learn and experience.
It builds functional strength - Calisthenics training improves our strength, flexibility, sense of balance, decreases our fall risk and prevents injuries. We may also experience less pain, if any, as we get stronger. Harder progressions and additional weights may be introduced as we become stronger and feel lighter.
It improves our daily living - Calisthenics builds strength more naturally. Learning how to carry our bodyweight improves our motor skills, sense of balance, coordination and body awareness. Daily movement may feel more efficient simply because we introduced different movement patterns into our life.
It is super accessible - With little to no equipment, you can do a full body routine with just your body weight alone. Having the knowledge and the right guidance will allow you to bring your Calisthenics practice with you wherever you go.
