Dubai Street Workout & Calisthenics Details
Dubai Street Workout and Calisthenics is a semi-professional sports team founded in 2015 by a group of 8 athletes affiliated with SkyDive Dubai, one of the world's premier skydiving locations. 'Calisthenics' is a term that refers to exercises consisting of a variety of gross motor movements — running, standing, grasping, pushing, etc. — often performed rhythmically and with minimal equipment, which in essence are bodyweight exercises. They are intended to increase body strength, body fitness, and flexibility, through movements such as pulling or pushing oneself up, bending, jumping, or swinging, using only one's body weight for resistance; usually conducted in concert with stretches. When performed consistently and with variety, calisthenics can provide the benefits of muscular and aerobic conditioning, in addition to improving psychomotor skills such as balance, agility and coordination. The purpose of this team is to promote physical fitness through body-weight exercises with minimal use of equipment. To this end, the team has conducted public seminars on a weekly-basis that focused on increasing physical strength, flexibility, and coordination using fundamental, intermediate, and advanced training regimen. The team was active between 2015-2016. Since then, some members have gone off to become certified personal trainers in their own right, while others went on to compete in local and international events hosted by the World Calisthenics Organization (WCO).
