Frequently asked questions about Calisthenics and Street Workout

 What is Calisthenics? 

It is one of the oldest recognised, organised forms of exercise. The armies of Alexander the Great and the Spartans practised it. It is a form of exercise that involves activating large muscle groups by running, standing, pushing, and pulling and using your bodyweight or counterbalance.   

Is callisthenics good for fitness? 

The benefits of callisthenics depend on your fitness level. However, this style of fitness training helps build muscle and strength and challenges Australians to increase their repetition and endurance over time. Research indicates results can be achieved within a short period. Outdoor callisthenics training is also a cost-effective solution for public parks, schools, or urban areas as you require minimum equipment and little space as each piece of KOMPAN's range is compact and supports hundreds of exercises.  

What is Street Workout exercise equipment?  

Street Workout products consist of various combinations stations that offer a complete street workout and callisthenics experience. KOMPAN's street workout stations provide a variety of exercises in a compact footprint and for a small investment. 

Is Street Workout better than a gym workout?

How do you use outdoor Street Workout and Callisthenics gym equipment?

What is the most useful piece of street workout equipment?

Difficult question since a proper workout requires variety to be fulfilled. However, pull up and parallel bars are not something that is easily replicated in the real world. 

Is Street Workout all-weather?

Pretty well so, the surface is termed all-weather, and the equipment might only be unusable in extreme conditions. 

What is the best surface?

You need to include a surfacing type that reduces movement upon landing. Rubber surfacing provides a flat and smooth performance base that drains quickly.
