Step 1
Develop a calisthenics routine. You can do calisthenics anywhere without the need for weights or special equipment. You only need a small space to perform calisthenics.
-
Step 2
Concentrate on calisthenics that focus on muscle strength and flexibility. The U.S. Army uses different calisthenic exercises that improve performance in these areas.
-
Step 3
Match your workout to your level of endurance and strength. Your muscle strength and flexibility increase over time, so you must increase the intensity of your exercise, for continued results.
-
Step 4
Learn to do the basic exercises, which do not require special equipment or weights. Sit-ups, push-ups, squats and lunges can be performed in your living room. Learn to do them correctly to avoid any injuries.
-
Step 5
Know when your body has done enough. Calisthenics is about building strength and flexibility. Pushing yourself to do one more push-up helps you get stronger, but knowing the difference between muscle fatigue and muscle burnout is important.
-
Step 6
Perform cool down stretches when you are finished your calisthenics. As in any exercise, you must stretch out the muscles and cool them down after a good workout. This can be an enjoyable part of the workout.
