Blimey - there's a word I haven't heard for a while!

Is it something specific, or just bodyweight exercises with a fancy name?

Mind you, my cousin's been at it for a few years and he looks good on it.

I do some calisthenics exercises. Nothing major, some upper body and leg work.

Yep

Yes more of the body weight exercises. Just interested if anyone followed an online program available to all ?

No, nothing major. 300 pressed ups, opposed chest presses, triceps leans, bodyweight squats, nothing organised.

Calisthenics is very good for mobility and balance. Lots of single arm/leg exercises.

Squats, press ups, glute bridges, triceps dips.

The only limiting factor is body weight. Once you get good at it, the only progress comes from doing lots of reps which can be time consuming.
