When I first spoke to a friend about callisthenics, I figured there was no way I could do it. All I'd seen about the workout on social media was muscled men and women doing handstands and an almost excessive number of pull-ups. Absolutely not for me.
After talking it through with her, I realised that's an elite level of the workout. Thinking you have to do a handstand to do callisthenics is like thinking you have to lift your own bodyweight above your head to do strength training. There are levels.
