One of these calisthenics guys on YT says he was that nerdy guy as a teen that was slim and a little quiet. Now he’s a sexy beast. Literally bigger and more shredded than 95% of men. I love calisthenics and I on the other hand and 36 and just had my 4th child 5 months ago, and basically I need a transformation and my journey has led me to calisthenics and I’m literally just getting started with this video now.

@@nihilist1680 ​ you see results in a couple weeks doing this too. It’s just more difficult to see progress because the progressions aren’t measured with a definitive number and progressing from one exercise to another typically involves a significant load difference (certainly not as simple as adjusting in 5lb increments). So progress appears slow. At the end of the day how quickly you progress depends on how good your routine is and whether you can tailor your routine to reach your goals. Neither method is superior. The only muscle group you really can’t hit effectively without weights is the low back, and legs absolutely benefit from weighted exercise over bodyweight alone. But to say that weights build superior strength is just wrong. Strength is relative. A calisthenics athlete may not be able to win in a deadlifting competition, but the average weightlifter can’t do a muscle up, planche, human flag, or single arm pull-up (not without injuring themselves at least). Its a different kind of strength. Weights tend to build larger muscle groups while calisthenics train the large and small muscle groups (less isolation). I think the perfect exercise routine would include both bodyweight and weighted exercises to get the benefits of both.

Well said. I‘m a 50+ guy and I started moderate exercise - but every day - a couple of years ago. I followed an online program, started small and worked up. One exercise I absolutely hated was the humble pushup… I can do a decent number of pushups now but it took about a year to really get them flowing. I found building chest muscle to be really hard. Most fitness things seem to require that 6-12 month time frame. But once you got them, it‘s so good.

8-9 months to do a push-up?? Girl that makes me feel so much better .. I feel like so many fitness instructors/trainers make it out to be this quick process when in reality for most people it takes time.. of course it also depends on current fitness level, genetics, etc etc and so for others it may be quick and easy but for the rest of us it takes a while .. thanks for being up front about this !!

I feel very discouraged when I try various "beginners" exercise videos and I struggle with the basics like dips and pushups. Like I'm not even strong enough to be a beginner? This is a great true starting point for people looking to gain strength and develop their movements

I'll be honest with you, beginner exercises are brought out to be regular push ups and regular dips when rally "beginner exercises" are always going to be assisted because the exercises have to cater to the people how rarely or never exercise. So all in all font try to push you self to do "Normal" Versions of exercises, Instead make your way up by doing assisted ones. ( PS. there is nothing wrong with doing assisted exercising, if anything it shows devotion )

Finally a real BEGINNER friendly introduction. Thank you very much. Your story is very impressive!

This is great! The idea of calisthenics has been flirting with me for years and I've never really done it, and I was looking for an easy beginners' guide with little/no equipment to start exercising again, thanks!

Im 28 and a guy who had multiple injuries and a broken hand last year. Ive been doing workouts but I always loved calisthenics. This due to the slow and controlled movements which looks like art. But i always found that the excersises are really hard if you are a beginner. This video gives lots of inspiration and alternative excersises. Amazing!

YESSS!!!! Inclined push ups! not knee push ups and thank you for explaining why

I've been looking at callisthenics as a way to keep fit cheaply and around all my other responsibilities. After thinking about starting for weeks I watched this video and did 8 push ups against the kitchen counter while making a cup of tea! I've started my journey! Thanks Lucy!

Really been wanting to start calisthenics but had no idea what to do and have zero strength. This video was so informative and makes me feel like I can start it from stage 0. I also love how you mentioned it can take several months to start seeing results.

Just came across you and have watched a couple of videos - it’s so nice to have someone show beginnings and progression AND say it’s not gonna happen overnight and that’s OK! Makes me feel better about my slow progress! Thank you!

Okay, I've watched a couple of your videos and I've decided that it's time for me to start exercising. I'm not young, I'm overweight and I haven't exercised much in awhile but...you've motivated me. Thank you for these videos. :)

As a inspired wannabe contortionist who never thought was flexible before being inspired I did most of the moderate excersises from the mix up in her other calisthenics video. Just shows that once you try you really can achieve some pretty impressive goals. Thank you for posting this video now I'm also inspired to add the excersises from your KZread channel to my workout.

This series is going to be very helpful for starting to learn calisthenics. Thankyou so much 🙏❤️. I'm gonna do this ❤️❤️

I love the kitchen bench corner. I also use it for leg raises to work out the abs. For those like me who cant afford the gym, its good to know we can turn our home into a gym. Thanks for all the useful tips, lucy.

I found your video just now even though it’s been posted over a year ago, and I love it so much. I’m excited to get into calinthetics, as I want to work on my core and upper body strength with body weight only before I get into weight lifting. Your video was so well done and you outlined the information perfectly, and in a way that was very encouraging and beginner friendly. Thanks so much !

I love the way you make these workouts so that people who are more advanced can do them along with people who have never done a pushup in their life. I love your channel so much and you're such a beautiful person inside and out. Love you 💖💖💖

Just started my cal journey Today! I did ur 15 min beginner loved it. Can’t wait til the summer when I’ve made some gains 💖

Thanks so much for all the progressions, it makes it accessible and also easier to keep track of progress.

No equipment. I like your inventive/creative use of chairs and tables. Subscribed.

Thanks for showing the basics and how you build up. But the best part is using at home items to do the exercises!

Thank you for the Details in proper form. I’ve been doing push-ups wrong for a while. And I never thought to use the door for pull-ups.

I did the same exercises, however I modified it to my own needs. Like doing knuckle push-ups (for Range Of Motion), seated rows/lat pulldown/straight arm pulldown (w/ recycled bike tubes), and hindu push-ups (alt for dips).

Thank you! These are very practical suggestions

Anyways a year later I hurt my knee in the air, & now I’m stuck at home with a bum knee and can’t go to the studio, so I’ve decided to learn a pull up. It’s been the hardest thing ever, & I was looking for this video 2 months ago (when I first hurt my knee). Oh and your right about the pull up bar- I have a portable pull up Bar/I can hang my silks Off of it bar & getting it was the best decision ever. Anyways, Seriously thanks!
