Deep's Fitness Story.....the Calisthenics Journey
Part-I :
Hi, this is Deep , sharing my fitness story in the Open Forum …….
- My name is Deep Tikadar. I’m from Garia, Kolkata. I’m a professional Calisthenics practitioner and personal trainer. I’ve started my journey in fitness domain 5 years from now. At first I was a normal gym hitter with an aim to build a good physique as I was too skinny at that time. I started bodybuilding and hitting the gym regularly but after some months I didn’t get any interest as it was the same thing and no innovation was there to motivate me further. Seeing everyone doing the same exercises(bench press, barbell curls etc), I was loosing interest. I then started exploring different fitness styles on YouTube and came across calisthenics and freeletics which caught my attention.
Part-II :
I’ve never seen something like that before in my life.. Ya some movements was like gymnastics but calisthenics is as a whole a different level. I then started to do research on YouTube and learnt all of the major Skills in Calisthenics/Street Workout with rigorous training. I used to train for 7 days a week. My aim was to do Front lever, handstand, muscle-up like the foreign athletes where they perform these stunts in front of big crowds. During my training I used to post videos in my Instagram/youtube channels. Some interested clients reached me for training and I used to train a batch of mates everyday in Lions safari park, Dhakuria early morning from 6-8am . That period of life was awesome. I had so many wonderful memories there which I have shared in my youtube videos.
Part-III :
I’m looking forward to grow more professionally in this field and introduce calisthenics to everyone as it is the most simple form of fitness where you do not need any equipment. With only your body weight , you can do impossible stunts and gain immense strength than those who hit gym everyday and go for weight training. Calisthenics is growing really very fast in the southern part of India. Many of the celebrities are also adopting this style of workout. Hoping to see more people doing Calisthenics in Kolkata and want everyone to support and bring this sport to much higher level in our fitness industry.
Wishing good luck to everyone,
Stay safe And keep Grinding
