Body weight training exercises may be trained progressively by adjusting leverage, range o motion, and

positioning. !ith these in mind, body mechanics, and movement, one may use progressive calisthenics to

achieve very high levels o unctional, ull body strength and coordination. "his is primarily because

calisthenics use natural movements that act on multiple joints, and orce many stabili#er muscles to be

used. $astly, calisthenics help to improve posture, as well as build supple strength and tension in the

tendons, ligaments, and joints.
