Let’s find out what Pet Therapy is, what its benefits and fields of application are. Sometimes the cure is contact. When elderly people seem to close themselves in their wall of silence, when autistic children are unable to interact with the outside world, when cancer patients lose their smile… getting in touch with an animal, immersing themselves in its vital energy, letting themselves be approached just enough to feel its sweetness can be a revolutionary experience.
The word “calisthenics” comes from the ancient Greek words kalós, which means "beautiful”, and sthenos, meaning "strength". It is the art to control our own body “to defeat the gravity laws” and consists in several bodyweight exercises.
It dates back to the 19th century, when gymnasts brought their movement out from their gyms, but it started spreading in 2010 in America, with Hannibal for King’s YouTube videos. In Italy in 2013, people already practised calisthenics (known as street workout); so many calisthenics were born.
