Program Description

This program is designed to build overall fitness and lean muscle using calisthenics only (no equipment—just bodyweight, a wall, and a chair). It focuses on improving strength, posture, core stability (lower-back friendly), and muscular endurance through progressive workouts 3 times per week over 18 weeks.
