The history of Calisthenics and general physical training and fitness is separate from that of contemporary Street Workout . Bodyweight-style physical training far precedes the history of Street Workout . Some attribute the modern popular movement to having its roots and ultimately emerging from American Prisons. This theory comes from the idea that the removal of weights from some to many American Prisons perhaps as early as the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s and 1990s forced and ultimately led inmates to practice calisthenics as a means of survival, general health, and rehabilitation. The theory continues that once these former inmates were released, they continued practicing calisthenics and brought calisthenics back to their neighborhoods to promote working out, living a healthy lifestyle and as an alternative to street-related activities that led them to jail or prison. It is for this reason that in the United States, especially in urban communities the coinage of the term street workout in place of calisthenics is often considered as a slight and offensive. The history of Street Workout can essentially be broken into three periods of history: Pre-YouTube (1980s-2005), Golden Era (2008-2012) and Identity Crisis Era (2013–Present). New York City Calisthenics or Street Workout Groups are largely accepted and considered to have pioneered and popularized the modern movement. Different groups and crews developed their own style of working out by combining classical calisthenics with exercises from gymnastics, breakdance, hip hop, and freerunning, or developed new movements themselves. These groups presented videos of the novel form of calisthenics on the internet and thus triggered a regular boom across the World, especially in East Europe. Identity Crisis Era (2013-Present) Similar to the present state of Hip-Hop and being influenced by Hip-Hop which also originated in New York City, Calisthenics is in the midst of an Identity Crisis. During the formation, early stages and Golden Era of Calisthenics, it was very clear what the movement was. Calisthenics and Street Workout were by all means interchangeable. Anyone who trained outside for free with bodyweight exercises was part of the community. Training focus and capabilities were not necessarily important aspects of inclusion for the wider community. Presently, this division and rift is the utmost important question moving forward for the community and its overall growth. Interestingly enough, the terms have now flip-flopped or shifted. Those who once or who still consider themselves to be Calisthenics practitioners now would fall into the Street Workout category despite having issues with the term and those who once or still consider themselves to be Street Workout practitioners now fall into the Calisthenics category. Street Workout Focus on straight arm statics, dynamics, power, strength, competition and emphasize no to minimal swinging, acrobatics, gymnastic-like or herky-jerky movements such as CrossFit pull-ups.
