How I Got Abs... With Calisthenics

[@arthurjames9807]

2 years ago I went through one of those “I got get in shape” phase and ultimately ended hurting myself, later I started seriously playing tennis and I’ve seen such improvement over 2 years, it taught me that you just gotta be patient coz the results will come later. And then your channel came along and your chill approach to this stuff has really inspired me

[@11ccch]

cool. tennis.

[@MarufSajjad]

Tennis ftw

[@jadiellima8922]

Ty for sharing, it's hard believing by my own that my body isn't wrong and focusing on exercising as a health habit. Aesthetics have been shouting really louder everywhere and the irony is that doing it right is all about autoaceptance

[@Chacho131]

Tennis, boxing and swimming have been some of the better sports I've done to get in shape.

[@GeorgeNiklaus]

absolutely nothing to do with calisthenics

[@ozarkrunner]

I think not being embarrassed by the failures is important. I decided at 49 I wanted to do handstands, so I told myself to try five a day, and be happy with the result, even if all five were comical failures. And there were a lot of laughs. The first six months were tough but by the end of the year I could do a full set of eight unassisted handstand pushups. At 57 I still do handstands at least four times a week, including the pushup variety.

[@goora1866]

That's extremely impressive. I'm 17 and have no idea how to hold a handstand

Routine: 1. L sit: 0:33, 3 sets, 3 times a week. Do V sits once you get better. No rep mentioned, make your own. 2. Dragonfly: 1:51, start this first b4 the dragon fly, then do 1:40, 10 perfect reps, 3 sets, 3 times a week. 3. Front Lever: (do after doing dragonflies right) , If just beginning start with tuck lever 2:17, then poke a leg out 2:29, then straddle lever 2:35, then once you can finally do it, do the front lever 2:37. 3 sets, 5 reps, 3 days a week, 7 - 15 seconds hold. 4. Human flag: if just beginning start with side planks 3:19, add a decline 3:26, add leg raise: 3:31, after all that do 45 degree flags 3:36, hold for 10 - 15 seconds and increase angle overtime. Final move would be 4:00, make own sets and reps. 5. Handstand: first do frogpose 4:10, then headstand 4:17, move to wall 4:24, finally take away the wall and do 4:40, make own sets and reps. All these are great exercises if you already have good core but if you don't, do deez: - Leg raises: 5:30 - Decline situps: 6:28 - Other core workouts: 6:38 - Side planks: 6:48 - Russian twists: 6:51 - Knee raises: 7:04 - Tuck plank variations: 7:20 note: All excerises kinda useless without good diet

What's good diet?

[@jezaki817]

You don't rep the holds (L/V-sits, handstands, etc.). The whole set itself is how long you hold.

[@ahhtism3386]

@@Quasintus quite literally a normal diet.

Great video. Just going to let everyone know AB EXERCISES DON'T MAKE YOUR ABS MORE VISIBLE!!! if you want to have visible abs make sure your a healthy weight first (or slightly over) and eat in a slight caloric deficit to decrease your body fat slowly (and safely) overtime so you can see those beautiful muscles. This means you will lose weight and a bit of muscle mass so you might want to consider training to limit the decrease of muscle mass as opposed to body fat. And what's sexier than abs is being healthy so DO NOT try to get abs at the cost of your health. Love you all.

[@ohhhSmooth]

I love how much trust you have in your furniture.

[@colinmurrayYT]

[@CaspianT]

Thanks for this! I'm 18 and raised in a rural area so gyms are non-existent, as well as not having the spare funds or storage space for a lot of equipment, so I don't have much muscle other than "farmer muscle". This video really helps a lot for getting into bodyweight exercises! I think I'll be doing these exercises along with the horse stance and possibly pull-ups (likely on trees or sturdy grape trellises, but I'd need to get enough muscle to do them in the first place) for the foreseeable future.

[@jt.8144]

Gyms are overrated. Save your money . YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT.

[@Kumoiwa]

Bro the average farmer is way stronger than the average gym guy, don't underestimate yourself!

@@Kumoiwa Well you must be right, or I gain muscle very fast if not, as I did my first pull-up just a few days after posting my comment! Then two rep sets a few days after that, and I'm able to do three rep sets now, which is humongous for me.

Update?

​@@Waddlejpg I've got abs! They're not super pronounced as I've taken a break from working out due to heat, but I'll start again soon. I was amazed how quickly I started to notice abs; I noticed I had a tighter abdomen and even a faint six pack only after two weeks of the exercises. Granted as mentioned, I have some farmer muscle so I might have an easier time building aesthetic muscle thanks to that.

[@UnofficiallyMang0]

As somebody who is getting serious about weight training, these kinds of videos are always helpful. Since I've finally started making time to exercise, I have noticed that my core muscles are significantly weaker than before. For example, I did planks for 20 seconds, 10 pushups, and 10 russian twists tonight. My stomach muscles were sore after those few workouts, of course its because I have not been stretching that part of my body very often lately. I have gained a few pounds during the pandemic and I am committing myself to not only burning off all my stored bodyfat, but also to working on my martial arts and music skills. I am thinking about using my spare time to sit outside and practice drawing again, since that is a hobby I kind of gave up on around summer of 2020.

It is insane how effective and fun these exercises are - I think the fact that it's not as boring as regular gym workouts is what keeps me consistent. I spend about 10-20 minutes per day, with about 2 days of 30 min sessions per week.

I just audibly sighed when you said you're 6'3. As a 6'1 gal, I am alwaaaaaays searching for more fitness gurus who are also friendly giants. Our long limbs need a little extra sauce and time when it comes to building strength. Thank you Colin, these videos are so helpful!

6'3 guy here, I endorse this comment.

Colin .. two things hit me while watching this video.. first is you have developed the most beautiful body I have ever seen on anyone.. you are absolutely beautiful and an inspiration to every guy watching this., Second is the section where you came down directly on your head.. ouch!, really felt that myself I did.. did you get a concussion from that? That flag maneuver is poetry in motion., and all of these attempts you show as well as your successes., cannot get more inspirational than that! You are way, way past amazing., you are phenomenal. And so beautiful to see.. sure I am that most guys watch this to learn how.. Me? I appreciate everything beautiful.. flowers., sunrises and sunsets.. scenery.. incredible works of art.. lovely paintings... listening to awesome music.. stars in the night sky.. watching you put your wonderful body through your workouts is a symphony in motion.. so you are.. and so strong! Yes.. that is why I watch,, and sure I am there are many others who appreciate you for these reasons also.. Btw Colin.. your use of we, us, our etc makes the viewer feel included.. as if they are your friends.. workout buddies.. and so forth.. you have a magical way of communicating my friend.. keep it going so! 🤗🤗🤗 God Bless you Colin.. makes my day just watching and listening to you! Jen999💙

Thank you🙏 yeah it hurt but I think I’m fine lol. However I’m glad you enjoy how I put the vids together. I’ll try to keep making them in that way!

[@Jen999]

@@colinmurrayYT Glad to hear you’re ok.. know guys hate it when women say please be careful and take care of yourself .. but it just goes with the territory.. That said.. truly love your videos.. so.. please be careful and take care of yourself. :) Only fussing a bit cause I worked in a PT/Sports Medicine clinic and dealt every day with athletes who hurt themselves trying to get in shape or stay in shape so… Keep up the good work my friend because you and your well-being matter to me :)

Best calisthenics vid I've seen for beginners so far. Thanks man!

[@user-ij5oo5jt1x]

Everytime I watch a video of yours, I think it is my new favourite.

[@JunJunMusume]

Great tips on progressions. I decided to start doing calisthenics recently and although hard, it's been fun.

I guess it’s a guilty pleasure to watch smaller, newer channels for fitness than ones that got popular. I watched so many who were like this, they got popular, production went up but the videos were less informative and my interest in watching them went out the window. The same thing will probably happen with this channel but I’ll stick around for awhile

[@j_uice]

legit great video, every step and video for each was super helpful. Definitely gonna get calisthenics integrated after this!

[@ssaygun598]

[@ssaygun598]

What can you recommend for back workouts?

[@colinmurrayYT]

pull-ups or a easier variation to build up to them!
