Does the idea of heavy lifting sound less attractive than it once did? The stress on the joints, the days of recovery needed between sessions, the lack of needing or wanting to hit PRs.
Heavy resistance training should have a place in your routine, but many people naturally move away from it as they get older.
But how do you get the benefits of heavy weigh training without lifting heavy weight? The strength, the neurological improvements, the building of the connective tissue, the strengthening of bones…all important factors, especially as you age.
What if you could develop those qualities without the clanging and banging?
Calisthenics training is a form of strength training that uses the resistance of your body and gravity to help build strength and improve your coordination, endurance and mobility.
It has a unique ability to develop the skill of creating tension, which strengthens the actual muscles, as well as the connection of the brain to the muscles…all with no or minimal equipment.
