Calisthenics are exercises that don’t rely on anything but body
weight. They allow for the development of strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. A major benefit of calisthenics is that it involves compound exercises. This means it uses multiple muscle groups at once. It requires a high amount of movement, allowing you to burn a lot of calories in a short period of time. The result is lower body fat, which increases muscle definition. The English word pom-pom came about in the 18th century from the French word pompon, which referred to a small decorative ball made of fur, feathers, ribbon, wool or string. One of the most important uses for pompoms in art projects, specifically for younger ages, is enhancing fine motor skills. Pompoms come in various sizes, from as small as a pea to as large as a golf ball. Craft Pom Poms are a great tool for fine motor development while improving dexterity and the motor skills kids need.
