Callisthenics are kind of a general term for full-body exercises that don't use weights. For example, running in place, jogging in place, high knees, jumping jacks, big arm circles; different things like that, leg lifts while you're lying on the ground doing different activities. It's an older term. Now it could be incorporated in some yoga programs, some pilates programs, some strength programs, some exercise ball programs, ans the suchlike. Really, callisthenics are non-machine, full-body, general movement exercises. That's under the umbrella of callisthenics.
