Bodyweight exercises and calisthenics are similar, but they are not the same. Calisthenics is a little bit different and often, but not always, a better choice for more experienced athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bodyweight exercises exclusively use your body. Pushups, pullups, situps, and squats (without weights) are all bodyweight exercises. There are also even more difficult bodyweight exercises<\/a> done by elite athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Calisthenics is similar to bodyweight exercises but can include weights as well. For example, weighted pullups are a calisthenic exercise but not a bodyweight exercise. You can also do pushups with weighted plates on your back and many other weighted variations on bodyweight exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both calisthenics and bodyweight exercises can help you build a powerful physique. You do not have to lift weights. There are ways of making bodyweight exercises harder as your strength increases, so there is no limit on how strong you can get with this kind of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can do impressive athletic stunts if you practice calisthenics<\/p>\n\n\n\n
