The very notion of “Workout” means an outdoor workout, all the exercises of which can be performed without any special equipment. An ordinary sports ground with a horizontal bar, bars, ladders and benches is enough. Moreover, in most exercises there are no dumbbells or barbells – only your own body weight.

In general, street activity is not a novelty, fans of a healthy lifestyle came out in the yard to stretch long before vorkout became a popular sports movement around the world. Its basic exercises: pulling up on the crossbar or pushups from the floor was performed by any of us in gym class. Today a walkout is not just a young and developing sport, it is a movement, the main value of which is harmonious physical development. And more and more often you can find young and fit people in stylish sports outfit on outdoor exercise machines.

In the 90s in America, black teenagers began to actively work on the development of their bodies by exercising on ordinary sports fields in the street. They were making their bodies more muscular by doing pull-ups, push-ups, and other exercises. At a time when the Internet was publicly available, videos of these workouts began to appear and circulate on the web. It is unknown who was the first to call the videos “street workout”, but the name stuck later in other countries.

It is noteworthy that walkout is not clearly divided into styles, however, this street sport has a historically established classification:

• Street Workout. Classical style, which involves performing various elements in their own weight and inventing new exercises.
• Ghetto Workout. This style kept the preferences of poor teenagers, who founded this direction. The emphasis is on the performance of complex elements and bright power exercises, such as isometric. Some elements are reflected in oriental martial arts, such as: push-ups on fingers.
• Handstand. This style is a strength direction of Ghetto Workout, where power outputs on the bar alternate with push-ups, etc.
• Gimbarr. A unique “Cuban” style, involving a risk to life. Requires the development of dexterity and good coordination. It is not recommended to perform the elements without a safety net.
