Full Body Workout
This great full body workout will target the majority of your major muscle groups. The workout combines calisthenics with resistance training.
What is Calisthenics?
Calisthenics is the practice of training with your own body weight.
The Workout Contains 4 Exercises
- Burpees to muscle-ups
- Pull ups
- Wall Balls
- Slep Pull (plank position)
Burpees to muscle -ups – Start with a burpee. Jump up then lie flat on the ground, next do a push-up then jump into the muscle-up. To initiate the muscle-up start with a pull up then transition into a dip inorder to push yourself over the bar.
Pull ups – Start in the hollow position hanging from the bar. Pull through a full range of motion until the chin is over the bar. Lower the body back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Wall Balls – Holding onto a medicine ball, perform a squat. When coming back up launch the ball over head at the wall. Next, catch the ball and lower back into the squat.
Sled Pull – Get into a plank position, with a wide feet stance for balance. Keeping you core engaged continously pull the rope into your body bringing the sled in.
Do 3-4 sets of each exercise.

Benefits of Calisthenics
1. Do not need a gym. A lot of calisthenic movements like pushups, pull ups and dips can be done almost anywhere. A great workout can be done without needing a new gym expense
2. Calisthenics is great for building muscle endurance. A lot of exercises and workout are generaly done in higher rep ranges or holding positions for extended periods of time.
3. Build muscle and strength (to a limit) without needing weights.
I like to get the best of both world by incorporating calisthenics and resistance training .
