- I say, calisthenics is a very difficult kind of sport. It requires big endurance, hard and regular trainings and good health, of course.
- I absolutely agree with you. You forgot to mention good physical form and flexibility. I guess in calisthenics flexibility is the most important quality.
- Right you are, moreover, this artistic kind of sport is always interesting to watch.
- Yeah, it’s very beautiful and graceful. Besides, it develops not only the body, but the brain.
- That’s right. Coaches say it works out logical thinking, attention, fast reaction. No wonder, calisthenics is a complex-coordinated kind of sport, that’s why it has so many advantages… and difficulties, at the same time.
