Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How ancient Greeks trained for war
Calisthenics is a form of bodyweight exercises such as muscle-ups, push-ups and pull-ups, squats, handstands, and leg raises. It uses body weight for resistance and improves muscular and aerobic conditioning and balancing and coordination skills. Unlike Yoga, Calisthenics emphasizes strength and demands high levels of flexibility and body coordination. Of course. It was a regular part of workout exercises in a city-state, Sparta, which was the predominant military power in ancient Greece in 650 BCE till 400 BCE. Now, it is widely used in sports teams and military units as synchronized physical training by a group to strengthen unity and discipline. It is also widely performed as part of physical education in schools.
Enjoy watching the video of the incredible muscle control and the ability to pose in gravity-defying positions.
