Quite a few things!

I really enjoy the long term journey of learning and mastering calisthenics and the sheer variety of skills you can learn. Many of the more impressive skills like the handstand, handstand push-up and muscle-up can take a long time to achieve, so you have to be willing to put the time and effort in! Even after 4 years of doing calisthenics, I'm still always looking to learn new skills that challenge me, because in calisthenics there's always something new for you to work towards. The rich variety also means it's completely up to you what skills you want to learn, there's no one path for everyone!

Calisthenics is a very satisfying form of training to progress in. There's always a detailed path that comes with learning a new skill, and that feeling of building your way up to each progression as you get closer and closer to your main goal until you finally achieve it is very rewarding.
Looking back on where I was when I started to where I am now, it's really gratifying to see how far I've come, and it makes me appreciate the work and passion I've put towards achieving each one of my goals. The goal I'm most proud of was being able to master the handstand push-up, which was one of the main skills that drew me into calisthenics in the first place, and now I can do it :) !













Another great thing about calisthenics is, since it requires little to no equipment, you can do it anywhere at anytime! You can train at home, outside in the park, on holiday, anywhere! For a lot of the exercises all you need is the floor and you're good to go!
 
Calisthenics also gave me a much better understanding and connection with my body when I'm exercising. Performing exercises with just your bodyweight helps you to understand how to properly engage each muscle to get the most out of the movement, and highlights the importance of having good form and how essential it is to making progress.


And lastly, it's very fun to do! Can't argue with that ;)
