His Journey in his Words
My journey of calisthenics started with a curiosity to learn the Muscle-up. I wasn't aware that the skill was a part of calisthenics movement. After learning the muscle up I came across many videos on YouTube, where I saw people doing handstands, human flags, planche etc. and that boosted me up because that's what I wanted to do...challenge my body to learn new moves and master them.
Calisthenics can change the way our is body made & it can go beyond our limits if we work on it. So never stop hustling and grinding on your self.
All the best to the new bee!
