Here’s a story of an injured scientist, but found new strength and a sustainable approach to fitness thanks to calisthenics.
Here’s a story of an injured scientist, but found new strength and a sustainable approach to fitness thanks to calisthenics.
“ However, as I continued to do calisthenics-based workouts, I started to develop a strong liking for it - the amazing skills that people were doing, the feeling of control and freedom of your body - these were all a pull factor for me.”
Now, I've been using the TMA app for over a year, and all I can say is it was worth it. I lost ten and a half kilos and built a lot of strength that I needed for my competitions.
TMA has really kept me up on my game and allowed me to be able to continue to learn new skills and try them out. And I think it's the perfect app for that what I like most about the program.
Beginning with the clanging of weights in high school, K’Lem's fitness narrative took an unexpected turn as he explored the dynamic world of calisthenics.
I still do other things, but I think TMA is helping me achieve my goals as a passionate person about calisthenics, keeping healthy, avoiding injuries, and just being my best version physically and mentally.
I was looking something like TMA for two reasons:
- just be able to follow a coach and routine and no think about how to construct it
- have a well-structured program that can develop new skills useful for my main sports and not a basic home workout trainer.
I think if you’re on The Movement Athlete page, really give it a go. Bodyweight training is life-altering. It's easy to lift weights. Anyone can lift weights, and throw them around, but to be able to control your body in a certain way, it's pretty hard. It's just amazing.
You don't have to stay back, and it's the very small changes that they notice. TMA actually takes you through the process until you have mastered the skill.
Through social media, I came across this calisthenics form of exercise. It was fascinating to see what individuals could achieve with their bodies, whether it was something like a muscle-up or those flag pole bits and pieces.
I think such an app is the minimum requirement for a beginner who wants to start with calisthenics.
“I really like that although the Movement Athlete might end up teaching a complex movement, it starts with basics and step-by-step works me through a progression that makes sense.”
