About GIGA-Calisthenics
GIGA-Calisthenics are fun, free, short workouts. These workout are designed so you do not need any fancy equipment. You only need a small space and maybe a yoga mat if your on a hard surface.
GIGA-Calisthenics was created by me, Jessica Hoeffner. I am an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer with a BS in Exercise Science and I am passionate about health and fitness. I simply wanted to put together free workouts that people can do anywhere.
A Little Bit About Me:
I have been involved in sports for as long as I can remember and love how exercise has shaped my mindset about my body and being healthy. While I was in college, I had a blast participating on Ithaca's track and volleyball team. I am currently living in Southern California going to graduate school. I also love playing beach volleyball, and I go train as much as possible. I am passionate about helping people and I want to help people to get healthy and feel good about themselves.
All in all I love fitness, and I am very excited that you looked up GIGA-Calisthenics.
Good luck on your fitness journey!

Why is it named GIGA-Calisthenics?
The name GIGA-Calisthenics was created by blending the prefix, giga- with calisthenics. Calisthenics are simply bodyweight exercise, such as jumping jacks, push ups, sit-ups. I used giga-, which means a billion to describe how much fun these workouts will be.
I choose GIGAC to be a little acronym from 2 Chronicles 30:9 " If you return to the Lord, then your fellow Israelites and your children will be shown compassion by their captors and will return to this land, for the Lord your God Is Gracious And Compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him." (NIV Emphasis added) I really like this verse because it is a reminder that if we steer off we can always go back to God, no matter what happened.
