Calisthenics training is a method for building insane functional strength without the use of heavy weights or machines.

Strength is vital for optimal health, and certainly for elite sports performance, however, it's also crucial for longevity and healthy aging.

But many people don’t tolerate the stress heavy weightlifting can have on joints, or the recovery time needed between heavy workouts…especially as they age.

Calisthenics training is a form of strength training that uses the resistance of your body and gravity to build strength and improve coordination, endurance and mobility, without the demands of heavy resistance training.
