Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. A comprehensive guide to calisthenics, this book covers every aspect from fundamental techniques to complex combinational movements. It is part of a series of drill books by the author meant to aid the reader in achieving and maintaining peak physical fitness. The book begins with a brief introduction to the history of calisthenics, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece, then discusses the importance of proper breathing techniques and vocal exercises when performing calisthenic exercises. The book then breaks down calisthenics into its component parts: the four main divisions of chest, shoulder, elbow, arm, and hand exercises; head and neck; trunk and waist; knee, leg, and foot; and combined exercises. Each movement is described in detail, paying careful attention to the starting position of the body, the muscles engaged in executing the movement, and the benefits of the exercise. Interspersed throughout the book are helpful hints and modifications for each exercise that can be used to increase or decrease the difficulty, depending on the experience level of the reader. The final section of the book outlines several sample exercise routines for the reader to follow, and discusses how the reader can develop a personalized, balanced workout plan that addresses their individual goals. The book concludes with a brief discussion of the mental and spiritual benefits of calisthenics, and how these exercises can contribute to an individual's overall well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
