Workout for functional strength

January 5, 2014 by No Comments

Hi, first off I’d like to say that I’m 16 (in a few days at least) and have been doing Karate for over 10 years including competing at national competitions so I’m quite strong and very fit already.

I’ve always been fascinated by impressive calisthenics/bodyweight exercises such as handstands, the human flag, planche press ups etc. and would love to be able to do them. So I’ve researched that bodyweight exercise is much better for these types of gymnastic style exercises, however I don’t really know where to start and what sort of workout to be doing.

So I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of workout programmes or the type of things I should be doing to achieve these goals. I don’t really want to spend much money however I would be willing to spend a bit if something looks promising.

Thanks to anyone who offers any help and if you want me to give any more info just ask.
