Pullups challenge almost every major upper\u2011body muscle while building grip strength, a marker closely linked with biological age and overall health. Deficit pushups deepen the range of motion, increasing muscle activation in the chest, triceps and shoulders while allowing the shoulder blades to move naturally. Bulgarian split squats, meanwhile, build single\u2011leg strength and balance, exposing and correcting side\u2011to\u2011side imbalances that can contribute to lower\u2011back pain. Together, these scalable exercises form a minimalist program aimed at functional strength and longevity. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/articles\/best-calisthenics-exercises-improve-longevity-190921000.html\">Read the full article, originally published by Men\u2019s Journal and syndicated on AOL, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exercise scientist highlighted three simple movements that deliver outsized benefits: pullups, deficit pushups and Bulgarian split squats.
