gymnastic exercise to achieve bodily fitness and grace of movement
This definition should be have "gymnastic" replaced with "chin-up" and "bodily' replaced with climbing and you would get:
climb-ing calis-then-ics
chin up exercises to achieve climbing fitness and grace of movement.
What is Calisthenics
A simple calisthenics exercise would consist of jumping jacks and push ups. These body weight only exercises are great for climbing fitness. I personally don't do a lot of weight routines and I rely on my 4x4 routines to gain anaerobic power. With a short chin up routine I can overload my Power sessions.
Now that's a view!

Powering Up and Progressive Overload
If you've gone a little deeper with these vids on youtube.com, you probably saw Dominic Sky zdoing some other exercises. These exercises will get you strong!!! I've seen some people at the gym accelerate their climbing with these types of routines.
If you're already doing chin ups during your sessions then its a great way to power up. But watch your form and its important to keep your shoulders back when doing the exercise. There are tons of sample routines on line and they explain in a very similar manner that I use in my routines.
