How to Start Calisthenics for Beginners (Weekly Workout Guide, Tips, and How to Progress)

[@STRIQfit]

I accidentally deleted someone’s comment when I was trying to edit my response: However the question was..What should I do if I have not achieved the pre requisites? Here is a sample workout routine for anyone that has not yet gotten to the proper level: You’re going to start with your scapular awareness joint prep, move into your wrist stretching, warm up and then do this workout: Day 1: Push Day Plank Walks: 3 sets of 30 seconds Wall Push-ups: 3 sets of 8-12 reps Knee Push-ups: 3 sets of 8-12 reps Hollow Body Hold: 3 sets max hold Day 2: Pull Day Negative Straight Leg Rows: 3 sets of 3-5 reps Bodyweight Rows 3 sets of 8-12 reps Scapular Pull-ups: 3 sets of 8-10 reps Day 3: Leg Day Chair Squats: 3 sets of 12-15 reps Glute Bridges: 3 sets of 5-8 reps Calf Raises: 3 sets of 10 reps each Day 4: Cardio Day Exercise Bike: 1 set 20 minute ride Day 5: Full Body Wall Push-ups: 3 sets of 8-12 reps Negative Straight Leg Rows: 3 sets of 3-5 reps Bodyweight Squats: 3 sets of 12-15 reps Hollow Body Hold: 3 sets max hold Day 6: Rest Day Day 7: Rest Day 90 seconds of rest in between sets. Do this until you reach the proper level and as you gain strength try to change out some of the preliminary exercises for the progressions.

Are there any substitutions for doing the workouts on pull day without any equipment or just using an at home pull up bar?

i have been thinking about getting into calisthenics for a while now and did not know where to start, this has really helped me start and im positive it has helped others too. keep up the great work!

@@STRIQfit You are welcome. I am totally obsessed with Calisthenics. So, I wrote this for reference. ❤ I have some questions. So, If you read this, plz reply. So, I am using an app called " Calisteniapp Workout " (It's both on Play Store and App Store). They have many programs, exercises, and much more. I am currently following a beginner level program called " Fullbody muscle building ". It's 29 weeks long (It's almost 7 months). It consists of 10 phases starting from basics to advance exercises. I am currently in phase 5. I am getting stronger. I can notice changes in my physique. Should I continue following my program or should I start this workout plan that you shared in this video. And if I should follow this one then as you said we should do this for 3 months. So, after 3 months can I start learning skills (ofc starting with beginner skills), and using gymnastic rings, using weights etc or I need to follow this plan for much longer before progressing to skills etc. I know I have made a lot of mess in here but it's just that I am really obsessed with Calisthenics. So, I want to be on a right path. I don't want to waste time. Any help/guidence will be really appreciated. Thank you. ❤

the bad news: God gave us the moral law. it consists of 10 commandments & that is our standard.. a standard that we cannot live up to. we all fall short & have sinned against God. if you have ever lied, stolen, used God's name in vain, or even looked with lust. you're guilty.) God is a judge, & we are all criminals against Him. crimes obviously deserve punishment, because only a corrupt judge would let crimes go unpunished. the punishment for sin is death. sin must be removed or paid for. so, how did God react? the good news: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." God was manifest in the flesh in the form of Jesus of Nazareth & He lived a perfect sinless life. Then He took the punishment that WE deserve. Jesus died on the cross so that our sins can be forgiven. Afterwards He was buried & then He resurrected three days later. because of Him, our death sentence can be lifted off of us & we can inherit eternal life as a free gift. here is what you have to do in response to the gospel: I. believe - believe in the gospel. accept Jesus as your Lord & Savior & trust in Him alone for your salvation, because we clearly can't save ourselves since we have all sinned Il. repent - forsake your sins. i cannot say i am a Christian & continue to lie, steal, murder, etc. i would just be a hypocrite. although Christians will still sin from time to time, it's something we turn away from. it grieves us. & that’s all. after that you just get baptized when you’re able & continue to grow spiritually. read your Bible daily & obey what you read in it

This wrist prep advice is essential. When I began calisthenics I ended up devoloping a wrist injury, and if you wrists hurts, push exercises is off the table and your progress will stall. Even now, more than two years later, I'm still struggling with my wrists and can't progress as quickly as I would like. I personally do the wrist warm-up from GMB Fitness and Tom Merrick every day and it is helping a lot.

The exact topic I wanted to learn about and it's high quality. I was curious because I saw your back muscles in the first/second year of callisthenics videos. It seems I need to "activate" those, but I don't understand how. I have been stuck trying to improve pullups for decades. My arms and shoulders always give up before I ever feel my back working. Let's hope I learn something in this video, let's watch. 😊 EDIT: I am already doing most of this every day of the week, resting when my body tells me to. Well, let's see if I make progress on the scapula awareness thing.

Yes I do! I do Weightlifting Primarily on my leg days. So if you want a quick way to make it work. You should try to do your calisthenics after warming up. That’s when you’re going to be at your highest potential to complete skills. Finish up with weights at the end to toast your muscles and reach failure.

This video came at the perfect time for me! I’ve got bored of standard weight training after 8 years and so I am committing to doing calisthenics regularly. I wasn’t sure which routine to go with but this video helped out a ton. Appreciate it!

[@STRIQfit]

Thank you for trying it out and leaving a comment family 💪🏾🔥

[@MaksimBorzik]

Great video! Also, I would Love to see same concept, but for intermediate and advanced athletes) Thanks a lot 👍

[@STRIQfit]

Noted! You can look forward to them in the future. I do have an intermediate routine though for calisthenics. It’s a little on the upper intermediate side though.

Loved the video man- best guide I have seen. Quick question though. I have done/do strength training so do weighted squats- when switching to this plan should I continue with the weighted squats etc. or just stick to body weight? Thanks

[@STRIQfit]

Yes, absolutely do weighted squats especially if you have the equipment.

[@jonaskurscheid9503]

Hey great video and workout plan🔥I will for sure give this one a shot. But I have one question. I do not really feel comfortable about the "Front Lever Raise" and the "Skin The Cat" on Pull Day. Do have any suggestions on other variations to try instead or work my way up to them. I feel like I could work my way up the the "Front Lever Raise" but the other move looks too hard and kinda scary for me 😅Are there any Substitution exercises? Thanks 💪😁

[@Becx-j9y]

Hello thank you for all these great tips.Just a quick question can I start with chapter 3 while practicing push-ups and pull ups or should I wait till I can do them easily to move on to the next chapter?

[@MaksimBorzik]

Cool, I'm following thus)

[@STRIQfit]

Let’s get it! 💪🏾🔥

[@delarosapatraygabriels9789]

Thank you man such a great guide. By the way Just wanted to ask if you have alternative for the wall handstand, FL pull up and the skin the cat for overweight people?

[@STRIQfit]

Wall Handstand - Pike Holds or Elevated Pike holds. So basically holding the starting portion of a pike push-up. That should get you more comfortable. Make the pike sharper or move your legs closer to your body as you get more comfortable in that inverted position. FL Raise- Try using a resistance band, tie that around a bench or bar over head. Lay on your back and replicate the FL raise position by keeping your arms shoulder length and locked out with your Core activated. Make sure there’s no slack in the resistance band and pull it down to around your hip level as your laying on your back keeping everything activated. That should help Skin the Cats - Use a Towel or stretch Bar, lay on your stomach. Grab the bar or towel and make sure there’s no slack. Keep the bar overhead and bring it behind your back until you feel a good stretch in your shoulders. It’s important to not over do it. Widen the grip of your hands if needed. I hope this helps! 🔥💪🏾

[@delarosapatraygabriels9789]

@@STRIQfit maaannn this would definitely help thank you so much for the response

[@matthewbergstedt4598]

Great video. Thanks! Question on rest times. When you say rest at least 90 seconds - is that in between each set or just in between different exercises?

[@STRIQfit]

In between each set. Rest is always for each set. So 4 pushups rest, 4 pushups, rest, 4 pushups, rest, next exercise etc.

[@thesouthernoutliner3562]

Man this is amazing. I want to start this routine right away. But I have a question. So the first, would I be performing Chapter Zero thru Chapter 2 the first week then the following week do the rest of the chapters? Or is Chater Zero thru 2 the warm up?

[@STRIQfit]

Chapter 0 is just introducing you to the scapula. It’s a good idea to warm up your scapula and wrist along with your warm up. If you can do the base number of required exercises then you’re good to go with starting the workout. Thank you for the support family 😭🔥💪🏾

[@bui7755]

lol okay? 👌🏾

[@ashleyscott7762]

Great content to help with calisthenics and using minimal equipment. What would be a regression for the wall handstand?, I currently do bridges and shoulder stands. Thanks 💪

[@STRIQfit]

Hi fam! It would be an elevated Pike hold. Even further just a pike hold or frog stand. Pike holds are when you set up for a pike push-up position but you only hold the top portion and lean into your hands. Elevated means placing your feet on a higher elevation like a bench or something

[@ashleyscott7762]

[@russelltv8702]

I really want to get started my only thing is I don’t have a pull up bar, I’m wondering what other ideas you have for alternative methods?

[@STRIQfit]

Without a pull-up bar it is difficult to get some serious back development in the future. In the Beginning however you can use some alternative methods that will start you off nicely. One of them is using like a table for Bodyweight Rows, or using a tree or wall is the next best bet. Id suggest seeing if there is a park nearby you that you can visit for your pull-days only. Use your environment and be creative! Thank you so much for the support!

[@crisbominable9249]

Bro, really good video, appreciate it a lot. Btw, is it normal for my wrists to hurt during the push workout? I did the wrist exercises before warming up, and they still hurt during the workout (not excessively or anything, but they did bother me a bit). P.S.: It's been about an hour since I finished the workout, and I only feel a slight discomfort, but it's almost nothing.

[@STRIQfit]

Wrist will feel some tension but they should not hurt. Spend some more time stretching your wrist during the warm up and make sure you are turning your hands slightly outwards when possible. This should alleviate the stress in your pushing movements.

[@Mr.SungJinWoo27]

Well great video to be honest, il l def subscribe but. I have question, if i decided to go to train for skills after mastering the movemenrs you said in the video, Should i keep doing the workouts while also learning skills? Or focus only on skills

[@STRIQfit]

Keep doing the workouts whilst training skills. You would train skills after your warm up before proceeding towards your regular workout! Thank you for the support and kind words!

[@CaseOfEmergency]

Ive been doing your weekly workout and all seems to be going fine. But wow front lever raises are difficult, I can do 4 and be completly done for the entire workout let alone skin the cats. Any regressions that can work up to it better?

[@mchsvaso5754]

Same problem can do every exercise except those 2

[@lionheartdeception62]

I decided tp try this for 3 months today and see how i progress. I got all the way to the handstands and was already scared to do these, buuuut i tried anyways The handstands themselves were not too bad, but then... i dismounted and was too scared to walk my hands out due to tiredness, so i dropped my legs to the side and when they hit the ground, i guess i had relaxed my core already and my mid back felt like i got hit with a hammer! I was still moving okay and shook it off enough during rest that i attempted the second handstand. It also wasnt too bad besides the cat gettimg freaked out and walking right under me to check out what i was doing and making me nervous i would fall on her. I got through the 15 seconds, but again was too nervous to walk out of the handstand and i dismounted the same way.. 😢 Felt like a sledgehammer hit my mid-back... 🎉 Idk if i am gonna have to postpone further workouts for a week or if im overreacting. It still feels like i got kicked in the nuts really hard. I can tell its gonna be inflamed.

[@lionheartdeception62]

Requested to be seen at a sports medicine clinic in my town. Hopefully they can get me in tomorrow

[@lionheartdeception62]

I did enjoy the workout until the injury occurred though. I recommend if you never have or don't feel comfortable with the handstand in the first place, get a spotter if possible so they can support your dismount.

[@tenSowaXXL]

Hey, about the milestones. By 20 push-ups do you mean in one set or let’s say 8 pushups in 3 sets with 20s between the sets?

[@STRIQfit]

20 pushups in one set is the goal you want to aim for family

[@tenSowaXXL]

@@STRIQfitthanks for your rapid response! Will aim to do so!

[@FluffyCry]

Question regarding session structure : is there any difference between working those exercise as a circuit or each of them separately ? thanks !

[@STRIQfit]

The main difference is the goal. Circuit training usually entails improving cardiovascular fitness and having minimal rest in between workouts. Having the sets and reps approach of performing each exercise and then moving to the next is typically used for strength building. It provides a good structure for progressive overloading. So I would do the sets and reps of an exercise before moving to the next.

[@FluffyCry]

@@STRIQfit thanks a lot for your reply !

[@vp2796]

Hi, do you have a cooldown routine for each day?

[@t.m.6881]

Why ia the weekly plan in the descriptions different than in your video? 😊

[@STRIQfit]

I just added a preliminary plan for people who can’t do a decent number of pushups, pull-ups, squats, and dips. So that’s one you can follow until you reach a proper level then you can do the next progression weekly workout in the video.

[@t.m.6881]

Thanks for explaining! And for the video, it’s very helpful ❤

[@Rio_Grande224]

Are there any regressions for skin the cat? The movement itself wasn't too difficult for me but I had a hard time getting my toes past the bar. I think it's the lack of flexibility of how close I can get my knees to my chest is the issue. Kicking my shoes off barely gave me enough room to pass through.

[@STRIQfit]

That is how it is when you start. If you have gymnastic rings that would be solid because you could keep them lower to the ground so you could have room for your legs to pass through whilst also building strength for the movement. I would suggest placing some boxes or bench below you when you perform the skin the cat so you do not have to worry about sinking to far into the movement. Always kick your shoes off when you perform it because otherwise it just doesnt work as smoothly lol! Thank you so much for the support!
