Calisthenics

An Australian, team-based competitive performing art, featuring elements of rhythmic gymnastics, musical and dramatic theatricality, costume, dance, musical interpretation, and more.
The word itself comes from the Greek words for 'beauty' and 'strength'.

At the most elite level, Calisthenics competitors are required to have a high level of flexibility, strength, balance and control, precision, technique, and execution.

Not as well-known as it deserves to be. Also, the hardest sport to explain to a person who hasn't heard of it.
"I do Calisthenics."
"What's that?"
"Oh God, here we go again..."

Calisthenics is the best!

Calista

Noun. A beautiful, agile girl who you'll never catch with a frown on her face. Red hair and freckles. She'll laugh with you at anything. She's creatively talented and musical. If you come across a Calista, don't let her go because Calista is a hard name to find and it would be of your great loss. She's a girl that understands more about people then the world gives credit. You can trust her with your deepest secrets.
