This anime inspired full body calisthenics workout, Base Builder can help warriors adapt, evolve and ascend into a stronger and more powerful warrior by creating a strong fitness base before moving into more advance skills.
Every warrior needs to start their journey somewhere to discover their potential. In Dragon Ball's series, Gohan went through multiple battles, both mentally and physically to discover his powers. As a kid, Gohan braved the storm and went up against Frieza giving Frieza all that he got. Gohan then transformed into a Super Saiyan in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber when training with his father, Goku. Gohan then turned Super Saiyan 2 in the battle with Cell and most recently unleashed his Beast Mode when again, going up against Cell Max. Gohan did not become a mighty warrior over night. It took consistency and drive to become a "beast"! This anime inspired full body calisthenics workout, Base Builder can help you do the same just by starting with the basics to build strength and establish your fitness base through a series of essential calisthenics exercises.
