Full Body Calisthenics Workout: Beginners Essentials


Goku from Dragon Ball


This anime inspired full body calisthenics workout, Beginners Essentials can help warriors jump start their journey to becoming stronger, faster and more powerful.


Warriors aren't built over night. Even some of our favorite anime hero's were required to go through the basics before becoming masters in their warrior craft. Goku started off training as a young child plowing dirt with his hands under Master Roshi's guidance and Saitama had a dream to become a superhero and started his own training regimen with simple push ups, squats, sit ups and running. Both of these heroe's honed in on these basics, advanced in their training and achieved greatness. This anime inspired full body calisthenics workout, Beginner's Essentials, can help warriors jump start their journey to unlocking hidden potential.
