Calisthenics Video In Delhi Metro: A New Way To Exercise Or A Public Nuisance?

Calisthenics is a type of exercise where you use your own weight to do resistance training. Calisthenics has become popular in recent times (as you can see) owing to the numerous benefits and the way it makes you look cool doing it!

Why should you consider trying out calisthenics?

1. Strength and muscle development: Calisthenics exercises, such as push-ups, pull-ups, and squats, target multiple muscle groups simultaneously, leading to increased strength and muscle development. And the best part is, these exercises can be modified to suit different fitness levels [1].

2. Improved flexibility: Calisthenics incorporates movements that promote flexibility, such as lunges, planks etc. Regular practice of these exercises can increase joint mobility and your range of motion, reducing the risk of injuries during physical activities [2].

3. Enhances functional fitness: Calisthenics focuses on movements that mimic everyday activities, making it a practical and functional form of exercise. By training the body to perform tasks like pushing, pulling, and lifting, individuals can improve their overall fitness and perform daily tasks with greater ease [3].

4. No equipment required: The best part about calisthenics is that you don't need to buy any exercise equipment. It can be performed anywhere, any time, without the need for expensive equipment or a gym membership.

5. Improves cardiovascular health: One of the primary benefits of calisthenics is that it helps boost your cardiovascular health and even your lungs [4].

Should you try calisthenics in public?

There is a saying - "there is a time and (a) place for everything," and this applies for calisthenics too. While this innovative approach to exercise offers unique opportunities for promoting health and fitness, it also raises concerns about public disturbance and safety.

Even though making all types of videos inside the Delhi Metro is prohibited within the premises, people tend to tease the rules. Be a responsible citizen and pick a suitable place to exercise, something that is not a metro compartment, hopefully.
