3.1.3.Calisthenics
Calisthenics are a form of organized exercise consisting of a variety of simple movements–performed without weights or equipment–that are intended to increase body strength and flexibility using the weight of one's own body for resistance. They are usually conducted in concert with stretches.

Groups such as sports teams and military units often perform leader-directed group calisthenics as a form of synchronized physical training (often including a customized "call and response" routine), providing a boost to group cohesion and discipline.
