Is This Old Lady Workout Making A Comeback?

Hands up if you absolutely detest jostling around with the crowd at the gym, waiting for a machine to free up so you can swoop down on it. We feel your pain. Thankfully, we’ve found an alternative to gym classes and cardio machines in calisthenics, an old form of exercise that’s experiencing a resurgence.

In a nutshell, calisthenics refers to body weight exercises – think crunches, push-ups and burpees. While some calisthenic workouts like chin-ups and dips require equipment, most do not, so you won’t even have to leave home to get an effective workout.

That said, you may need a bit of guidance at the beginning. Muhammad Firdaus, an instructor at TripleFit, explains: “People need someone there like a mentor or coach to give that assurance of safety, and also to look out for technical cues and postures.” After all, you want to be doing it right, right?
