Calisthenics Skills Anyone Can Learn - At Home Beginner and Intermediates

I guess I found myself some new quarantine goals.

[@princealbertz]

Masturbation is not a new quarantine goal

[@darkcurlz]

Great video! Here's a safety tip: When I was a kid, my gymnastics coach would tell me to always remember that even though it's called a headstand, remember to put all my weight into my hands and not my head. Saves on neck injuries.

[@dahyunqtii3896]

If you don’t put your weight on your hands or the head, where does the weight go? Sorry I’m just confused on the comment.

[@coolduedrops9848]

Your weight should be equally distributed, especially the core should take the maximum weight, so as to avoid any pain. Your wrist and neck tend to be affected, if you put all the weight on your hands

[@xoloandro4883]

When we were kids all this were like so easier... Now we have to practice 😂

[@clray123]

The difficulty comes mostly from reduced spinal mobility. And if you don't these moves, your spine will stiffen up even more. And then you die.

[@genesis-hd8br]

Xolo Andro I’m 11 😏and I have a lot of time so.....

[@tia4361]

You can learn an L sit in less than a month.

[@xd-qi6ry]

ustes so true but it depends on strength and body fat to muscle ratio even more, also having muscles built up in the legs or quads in particular can make these movement harder because of the extra weight, even more need for strength in the arms

[@tia4361]

@@xd-qi6ry True, true, a teenager or a kid could get this down in a short amount of time, but a sedentary twenty/thirty y/o would probably take a month of two since they probably don't have any experience

[@nadinebinder2905]

I love how you show all these progressions - makes me feel like maybe one day I can master these moves and routines and shows me how to get there step by step. Super amazing!

She makes a pistol squat look so easy. I exercise regularly so I totally was like "I can just do that right now!" No. No I cannot.

[@DiggandDugg]

I think the main thing with a lot of these is that you need a lot of stability and a very strong core similar to many advanced yoga poses so some really fit people struggle with them too!

[@jarate5922]

Do a lot of squats everyday, and you will be able to do pistols in less than 7 days.

[@LoveCarol]

I’ve been looking for a female calisthenics vid! I used to be so good at some of these moves as a kid because it felt so natural.. now I want to get back to that natural strength 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@MaddieFishblob]

2:40 ohhhh I do that on the desks at school all the time 😂 teachers always told me to “stop, it’s dangerous” But it OBVIOUSLY ISNT! ITS JUST FREAKIN FUN! Especially if you swing back and forth 😉

[@xd-qi6ry]

Maddie Fishblob lol same but I do it on the chair.

[@randylosesit6656]

If these are beginner and intermediate moves, i'd hate to see advanced

[@lucylismore]

😅... they are savage!

[@esmee6308]

Been building up for a year now (disabled though, so it's been slower than it'd be for others) and I'm excited to say I can start some of these... and take another year or two to get to intermediate probably. :'') Gotta start somewhere.

[@mchjsosde]

Esmee that's badass! Good for you!

[@xCorvus7x]

Let's see: - L-sit over V-sit to Manna - handstand to handstand presses - pistol squats are about as far as it goes, technically, though you can try to to them explosively or load them with weight, of course - headstand, maybe try to move from the headstand into a handstand (some kind of handstand push-up) - elbow lever to planche, though the planche isn't really a progression of the elbow lever, I think (edit: though, the elbow lever is close to the bottom position of a planche push-up)

[@BUtkarshChatterjee]

@@xCorvus7x I guess you could try quad busters and nordic curls after pistol squats. Also, sissy squats and shrimp squats might work.

[@strongerbetter5550]

Thank you! Some interesting moves here! I'm really enjoying discovering new and interesting moves!

[@rudraneilsaha7026]

it's wonderfull how everyone has different proggression on handstand

[@ayezaabid328]

Yay I just started wanting to train in calisthenics and this came at the perfect time.

[@sparshtyagi8497]

I so dream to do a handstand but I'm a bit overweight. So have to wait to tone down a bit. Lovely set btw.

[@lucylismore]

You will get there!! ❤️

[@matteas1008]

Hey girl! You can totally start working your handstand even if you're carrying some extra weight, I trained in handstands for years and also was a competitive cheerleader and the most important thing is that you work your core strength. If you're not quite ready to actually start trying handstands, static strength exercises like yoga do absolute wonders for the muscles that you use in any balance/strength exercise :)

[@nika5318]

When you train for a handstand you have to built up the muscles from where the weight comes on first. First The wrists then the arms, shoulders and then the core. You can do wrist and arm strengthening exercises already and that’s where most people have the most pain because they don’t train it. There are very good yoga exercises that are effective and gentle. From then on everything will get easier

[@sparshtyagi8497]

@@matteas1008 yes. Have started yoga training to build core muscles. Thanks for the insight!

[@sparshtyagi8497]

@@nika5318 Ok. Will do that. Thanks bud ☺

[@breadbutter4231]

Are there any safety measures that you would recommend for a beginner doing handstands? I always worry I'm going to fall on my neck

[@jmayborn]

On my experience, it's better to do handstands near a wall so that you don't fall on your back. As you get used to it, learn how to fall safely. This is what currently I'm doing. Never do handstands without a wall or a partner if you're a beginner. 4:34. + if you're scared to do that, then learn how to do an elbow stand

[@ericpetersen5926]

This is a great question, and Julia L's response is 100% correct: use a wall or a partner. Another key piece of advice is this: lock your elbows and squeeze your elbows to your ears. Always and constantly. Why? Because if your elbow never bend, and you keep your arms constantly extended over your head, then you can never land on your head! Your arms are always in the way! This is sounds so basic it might come off as dismissive, but most lifetime gymnasts will tell you this was something that was drilled into all of us from earliest childhood.

ustes true but if there too short, the ROM for push-ups and hitting that chest even with planche it’s detrimental I mean average, I have pretty short arms but everything else is above average so I guess average arm length is perfect.

[@HazeLong]

The elbow lever looks extremely dangerous on the chair. The edge is right at your neck. If the hand slips the neck ends up on the edge and it’s a million dollar baby moment. 😱 it’s safer to do it on planche bars

I had no idea what calisthenics were

[@heatherweaver2903]

Just wondering how often do you train calisthenics? Is it every day, every other? Just curious.

[@ericpetersen5926]

Understanding the impact of periodic training is important. If you get the periodization wrong, you are reworking your muscles too soon--before they've recovered and before you have a chance to realize the gains of the previous workout--or you are reworking your muscles too late--after the past-workout advances have peaked and are now starting to decline. Honestly, how often to train is going to vary from person to person and based on factors like which muscle groups were worked out, intensity of workout, and volume of workout. The eventual goal is for you to experiment and learn your body, and learn how to make and apply adjustments. Until then, follow general rules that work for MOST people. Really generalizing things out: in a 7-day week, try to create a schedule that has you doing SOMETHING up to 6 days, so at least 1 full rest day to rest your central nervous system. Within those 6 days, try not to work the same muscle group two consecutive days. Mobility and flexibility can we worked daily (except the full rest day); strength work should be every other day, per muscle group; and skill work like handstands (requires strength but doesn't tear down muscle as aggressively as strength day) no more than 2 days in a row. Lastly, I recommend one Active Recovery day where you do something that is energetic but not intense (a walk, a casual sport activity, etc.) In my case, I do: - Monday is Strength, Mobility - Tuesday is Skill Work, and small Strength routine, Mobility - Wednesday is Strength, Mobility - Thursday is Active Recovery, Mobility - Friday is Skill Work, Mobility - Saturday is my biggest Strength day - Sunday is Full Rest It gets more complicated from there. But your need to start with general rules, then learn more as you go.
