Hybrid Calisthenics — I’ve been following the company's training plan for basic calisthenics for about two weeks. I’m finding that joint mobility is slowly improving and ADL tasks like getting up after crawling about under my desk to sort cables are getting easier.

When I was younger, I used to think calisthenics were lame as I'd always done them in a military context or as warm up rather than for strength training.

Hybrid calisthenics takes its name from the fact that the training program borrows from dance, martial arts, yoga, and other disciplines that do stretching movements or body weight strength training.

Past programs, like Kenneth Cooper’s, assumed you could do the standard US gym class movements.

The hybrid program is graded. Each basic movement has multiple variations graded from beginning to challenging. Each movement has criterial for switching to a more challenging variant in the sequence. #calisthenics #hybridcalisthenics
