Hi everyone! So excited to be finally here!
It's time to bring some joy here on steemit.
I want to share with you my progress in training especially the skills of calisthenics.
For those who do not know it:
The term calistenia (or rather callistenia) comes from the words kalòs (καλός) which means beautiful, and sthénos (σθένος) which means strength. Calisthenics can be understood as a sport or as a fitness discipline (to improve your body). Sport involves the attainment of skill or strength free balance. The athlete must be able to master the bases (traction, folds on the arms, dips and various core exercises) to reach the toughest skills such as front lever, back lever, planche, muscle up, oap, ted, and so on. To achieve these skills you need months of training (sometimes years) through various pre-requisites. Calisthenics is often used as a synonym for functional training, as it not only gives a toned and thin physical but also a total improvement in physical performance.
In Italy the calisthenics came late so I, like many other Italian athletes, have not been able to reach high levels like in the rest of the world, but we are recovering, in fact we have already been able to recognize at European level in the competitions.
I've been practicing this sport for 2 years, at first I was skeptical because I always thought that gym workout was much more profitable in terms of muscle mass and strength gained over time, but knowing the guys at the park near my home I changed my mind.
I do not want to go too far in this post, I have a lot to share with you for now it's all here.
