THE BARSTARZZ STREET CALISTHENICS<br />
APPROACH TO FITNESS<br />
“LEAD, INSPIRE, CHANGE!” –<br />
PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE BARSTARZZ<br />
PHENOMENON<br />
A BURNING PASSION IGNITES WORLDWIDE FOLLOWING!!!<br />
At age 10, Ed Checo found inspiration<br />
by watching and emulating his older<br />
brother, a college-level football player,<br />
doing his calisthenics workout at home.<br />
Concentrating on push-ups, squats and<br />
crunches, Ed added pull-ups to this routine<br />
around age 14 after watching other kids<br />
doing them.<br />
Now the 29-year-old New York City native<br />
and founder of Barstarzz, the wildly<br />
popular street workout program, is the<br />
one everyone else watches. Through a<br />
website (www.Barstarzz.com),<br />
Facebook (over 1,000,000 Likes!),<br />
Instagram, YouTube, an online Forum<br />
and a recently added Barstarzz App,<br />
Checo and his group of about 60<br />
athletes share their dynamic calisthenics<br />
workouts performed primarily on outdoor<br />
playground equipment.<br />
