Calisthenics is a form of exercise that uses bodyweight to build strength, endurance and coordination, with a focus on natural body movements. The basic calisthenics movements are Push-ups, Pull-ups, Squats, Planks, Dips and Burpees. At Basic-Fit, a lot of our app workouts include bodyweight exercises. We also have Live Group Classes like Functional, Grit, HIIT, BodyPump, and Strength Development that incorporate these principles, all led by expert instructors. If you’re new to calisthenics or want to give it a try, check out this beginner-friendly Plank challenge.

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) is all about short intervals of intense exercise with quick rest breaks. It’s the ultimate calorie-burning, strength-building workout and it’s fast!

The best part? It’s super dynamic and could be short. Sprint, squat, burpee, or mix it up with jumping jacks - no equipment needed. With the Basic-Fit app or Basic-Fit YouTube channel, you can follow quick, guided sessions from anywhere, anytime.

Running is one of the most accessible forms of exercise, requiring nothing more than a pair of good shoes and the willingness to take the first step. It’s a full-body, cardio workout that strengthens your heart, builds endurance and burns calories. It also offers so much more than just physical benefits. It’s a kind of meditation that helps to clear the mind. Every run feels like an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. With every step, you’re building discipline, increasing stamina and boosting your mood. In the Basic-Fit app you can find an 8-week running plan for Beginner and Intermediate fitness levels.
