A calisthenics diet. Are you concerned about the right diet for building muscle and staying healthy, even living longer? This book has you covered, with great selections of the most nutritious, delicious meal plans.
No equipment to buy, no gyms to join. Building muscles and gaining strength requires resistance exercises, practiced correctly and regularly. While most people may think of weightlifting as the way to build big muscles, many of the finest athletes, with the most impressive physiques, use calisthenics and rely on their own bodyweight for resistance.
An Olympic gymnast’s build. Well-defined, lean muscles are achieved through calisthenics, not weightlifting. You can be confident that your investment of time and effort in calisthenics will reward you with greater strength and fitness. You can expect additional benefits from a steady calisthenics routine, including improved balance, stamina, and flexibility.
The safer, better way. Calisthenics avoid most muscle and joint injuries that can be caused by lifting heavy weights and by working out with complicated machines. People from all age groups 15+ can do these exercises, which give you control over your body, while safely and effectively making you stronger, healthier, and more physically fit.
Get started now. You can practice calisthenics at home or anywhere, and you can get started today: this book provides everything you need to know. It provides the exercise routines with full instructions and links to demo videos. Follow the training plans and see for yourself what bodyweight calisthenics can do for you.
