Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between calisthenics and strength training?
Calisthenics uses your own body weight – you train movements, not just muscles. It's more functional, complex, and often more demanding in terms of coordination.
What equipment do I really need?
That depends on your level. Bands & chalk for beginners, weight vest & dip belt for advanced users.
Is calisthenics also suitable for building muscle?
Yes – especially with progression (skills + additional weight), you can effectively build muscle.
How often should I work out?
3-5 times per week, depending on intensity. Consistency is more important than duration.
