Best No Equipment Calisthenics Exercises for Small Spaces
Don’t have access to a gym? Use these 21 No Equipment Calisthenics Exercises to build muscle and strength in any location.
Someone commented on my YouTube channel that his gym didn’t have enough space to train calisthenics. So I put together a list of the best no-equipment calisthenics exercises while training in the silliest, smallest space I could find…a rock in the river.
I did this to show you that you can train calisthenics with very little space, such as in a hotel room, in a tiny apartment or in a park.
Hey! My name is Summerfunfitness. I’m a self-taught calisthenics athlete with no gymnastics experience.
I’m on a mission to help adults learn how to easily incorporate calisthenics to be fit and mobile regardless of their ability to access a gym.
