Unleash Your Inner Strength: Calisthenics for an Active Women's Lifestyle

Getting Started with Calisthenics:

• Start Slowly and Gradually Increase Intensity: Begin with beginner-level exercises and gradually increase the difficulty as your strength and endurance improve. Focus on proper form before increasing reps or sets.

• Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to your body's signals. Rest when you need to, and don't push yourself too hard, especially when starting out.

• Find a Qualified Instructor (Optional): While many resources are available online, consider working with a certified calisthenics instructor, especially when beginning. They can guide you on proper form, create a personalized workout plan, and ensure you’re progressing safely.

• Warm-up and Cool-down: Always warm up before starting your calisthenics routine with light cardio and dynamic stretches. Cool down afterwards with static stretches to promote muscle recovery and flexibility.

• Here is a Sample Calisthenics Routine for Beginners:

  (Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new workout routine.)

  Warm-up (5 minutes): Jumping jacks, high knees, arm circles, leg swings. This goes back to something we all should have learned in school at some point.

  Workout (30 minutes):

  • Squats: 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions.

  • Push-ups (on knees or against a wall if needed): 3 sets of as many repetitions as possible (AMRAP).

  • Lunges: 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions per leg.

  • Plank: Hold for 30-60 seconds, 3 sets.

  • Glute Bridges: 3 sets of 15-20 repetitions.

  • Superman: 3 sets of 15-20 repetitions.

  Cool-down (5 minutes): Static stretches holding each for 30 seconds, focusing on major muscle groups worked (quadriceps, hamstrings, chest, shoulders, back).
