Calisthenics: Total Body Fitness
Exercise to Get Fit and Boost Health
Calisthenics workouts help to raise general fitness levels by exercising and strengthening a variety of muscle-types throughout the body, including both the cardiac and skeletal muscles. By raising heart-beat rate, they contribute to improved heart health and lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Calisthenics: Muscles Worked
Calisthenics workouts are also useful for muscle-development, as they strengthen and develop the upper and lower body muscles including the hip flexor muscles; the quads (vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis and rectus femoris); the hamstrings (biceps femoris, vastus latoralis and semimembranous); and strengthen the deltoids shoulder muscles (anterior deltoid, medial deltoid and posterior deltoid).
