Calisthenics upper body workouts are typically divided into pushing and pulling movements. Muscles involved in pushing movements include the pectoralis (chest) muscles, the anterior deltoid (front shoulder) muscles and triceps (back of arm) muscles.
Our class typically starts with a stretching and warm up to get the muscles loose and ready. Then we move into a series of exercises that uses your bodyweight for pushing resistance.
