I’m a father of two and I work for a Swedish agency. Working with my body is an integrated part of my life and has been since I was very young. I´ve been involved in martial arts, Muay Thai specifically for many years and switched to lifting weights. Two years ago I discovered Calisthenics as a training-regime and haven’t lifted weights since. As a father of two I really appreciate the simplicity of this form of training and I rarely have a day off.
