What Calisthenics Equipment Do I Need?

What Calisthenics Equipment Do I Need?

Calisthenics is one of the most accessible and effective ways to build strength, flexibility, and endurance. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, you can get started with minimal equipment. However, having the right tools can help elevate your workouts, add variety, and make progress even faster.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the essential calisthenics equipment you need, along with a few optional pieces that can help you reach your fitness goals.

Your Body – The Ultimate Calisthenics Tool

At its core, calisthenics is all about using your bodyweight to perform exercises that enhance strength, mobility, and overall fitness. Push-ups, pull-ups, dips, and planks are just a few examples of the many bodyweight exercises you can do without any equipment at all.

The beauty of calisthenics is that you can begin with nothing but your body and still make impressive gains.

But of course, investing in calisthenics equipment can significantly enhance your results by providing the tools necessary to progress, diversify, and intensify your workouts. While bodyweight exercises are effective, adding equipment like parallettes,  pull up bars, resistance bands, or gymnastic rings introduces new challenges that promote muscle growth, increase strength, and improve stability. With the right equipment, you can target different muscle groups more effectively, perform advanced variations, and track your progress over time, leading to faster and more consistent results. Ultimately, investing in the right tools helps you stay motivated, push past plateaus, and achieve your fitness goals with greater efficiency.

What is Calisthenics?

Calisthenics, often referred to as bodyweight training, involves exercises that rely on your body’s weight to build muscle, strength, and flexibility. Think push-ups, pull-ups, dips, planks, planches - exercises that you can do anywhere, anytime, without any fancy equipment.

Unlike traditional weightlifting, which uses external weights like dumbbells and barbells, calisthenics trains your body to move efficiently and with control. This results in improved functional strength, better posture, and overall body awareness.

The Two Calisthenics Moves You Should Master

We’ve teamed up with the experts at Ramass Fitness to take you through the fundamentals of the V-Sit and L-Sit. Both look impressive and take immense core strength, whilst challenging the upper-body to its limits.

One of the most basic but essential core calisthenics exercises is the L-Sit. The V-Sit is an advanced variation of it that requires the legs to go higher. These exercises are not only great for the core, but also an effective way to train your hip flexors. In order to lift your legs into a 90° position or higher, you must have a midsection strong enough to be able to correctly execute the movement.

These exercises are great for any beginner who wants to learn how to L-Sit!
