Unlike gym exercises that require machinery and free weights or traditional Pilates that uses the reformer to create resistance, calisthenics just requires you and your body weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These seemingly easy exercises work with your bodyweight, muscles and joints to not only build muscle strength, but also muscle mass, flexibility and coordination. As unbelievable as this may sound, especially to those who wholeheartedly believe in gym workouts, research has proven that these claims are true.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In one study published in 2017, researchers found that a calisthenics workout routine can help improve posture, strength (using both the push up and pull up tests) and body composition of untrained individuals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/content.iospress.com\/articles\/isokinetics-and-exercise-science\/ies170001\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another study published in 2018 in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, researchers found that calisthenics could even result in more muscle strength than gym weighted workouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the study 23 healthy, moderately trained men were divided in 2 groups &#8211; 14 of them doing calisthenic exercises and 9 of them doing traditional bench press training exercises. All participants did upper body exercises three times a week for 8 weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the study, researchers found that all participants experienced the same improvements in their maximum reps and the improvements in their muscle thickness had no significant difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, they found that when it came to their push-up progression, the participants who did calisthenics workouts had better results than those who participated in traditional bench press training exercises (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29466268\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another recently published study looking at how flexibility and muscle strengthening workouts affect functional limitation, researchers found that general muscle-strengthening, stretching, and calisthenics activities all help with the decreased risk of incident functional limitation in generally healthy, middle-aged and older adults.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2434&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=calisthenics_workout_routine\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30039 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/4-3.png\" alt=\"calisthenics workout routine\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, stretching and calisthenics seemed to work with decreased odds of incident functional limitation, 24% and 38% respectively (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9219252\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Functional limitation refers to the reported level of difficulty in the six core functioning domains namely: seeing, hearing, mobility, communication, cognition, and self-care (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/hus\/topics\/functional-limitation.htm\">7<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This simply means that adopting the practice of doing calisthenics workout at home will help improve your general quality of life and make everyday tasks that much easier to handle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Betterme will keep you laser-focused on your weight loss journey!

Cool downs help push the built up lactic acid from your muscles and help bring your temperature and heart rate slowly back to normal levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3588693\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/343124238_The_Importance_of_Warm_Up_and_Cool_Down_Article\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/fitness\/fitness-basics\/warm-up-cool-down\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/stretching-calisthenics\/\">stretching calisthenics<\/a> include wrist circles, wall angels, finger stretches, cat-cow stretch, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cardio_exercises\"><\/span><b>Cardio exercises\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also known as aerobics or endurance activities, they cover most<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/benefits-of-full-body-workout\/\"> full body workouts<\/a>.

An interesting fact about the core is that it is usually exercised (albeit not directly) when you are doing full body, lower body and even upper body workouts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you want to directly target the muscles under the abdominal fat, adding core specific workouts is a good idea.
