Start Calisthenics At Home For Complete Beginners - Pull Ups, Push Ups, Dips For Any Level 🤸🏻‍♀️

[@ragytag]

So glad you said it took a year to get a push up! I can’t do one yet and I start to think something is wrong with me when people talk about doing 100 per day. Crazy numbers

[@h4rri3th]

*Lucy* - ...so for an inclined push-up you're gonna find something, literally anything, that you can push off... *depressed me* - Yeah... I think I'm gonna start from the wall then 😅 *Lucy 5 secs later* - ...I personally started out on a wall... *me* - 😳OH MY GOD I CAN REALLY DO THIS THEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@lucylismore]

Yessss you TOTALLY have this!!! In this together 💪🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻❤️💫 xx

[@StimParavane]

Great comment!

[@Stew282]

I've just started calisthenics a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it. Other YT channels I've found on the subject don't really seem to cater to the absolute beginner, so this video was exactly what I need. Thanks, Lucy.

[@tomc7606]

Can u help me 😅

[@devdog25]

In a space that’s mostly male dominated, you’re by far the most helpful calisthenics coach out there that I’ve found :)

[@jcam783]

This has to be the most cheerful , and motivating video for calisthenics I have seen , thank you for taking the time to make and post this Lucy !

I lost around 60lb two years ago - maintaining the weight loss has been hard enough, but with it I also lost a considerable amount of muscle due to a series of extended fasts. I’m a lot better now that I’m working on balancing my hormones, and I believe the fasting helped a great deal in helping to regulate my hunger cues and building good habits. Now I’m working on my nutritional habits along with building muscle strength. So thank you so much for your videos. It’s going to be a long process but I’m taking it one day at a time. Kudos for always posting quality content. They’re super helpful, full of clarity and always well intended - without being patronising, which unfortunately seems to be the case with a lot of channels these days. Much appreciated! 👍🏽

[@sjd1964]

Beautifully explained. Clear, consise and comprehensive. Fantastic video, thank you.

[@lucylismore]

Thank you so much for that feedback. It not only means a lot but helps so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 👏🏻❤️

[@andreapinales1371]

I haven’t worked out in months, but my partner is wanting to work out with me and so this was right on time to help me out with my strength again 💕 Thank you!!! It was a really helpful one!!

[@lucylismore]

Yewwww so perfect! I’m so happy it helped and enjoy the journey (it’s the best bit 🫶🏻❤️) xx

[@natileelipe7675]

This is such a great summary. I’ve been rewatching all your videos lately. I love hearing your voice now. It’s soothing and inspiring. ❤️

[@justatallguy]

Amazing video for sure! I still consider myself a beginner and I keep watching these to stay on the path, and learn new things or refresh my memory. Quality over quantity, form over numbers for sure, completely agree! The only thing I'd add to any beginner reading this, especially tall or heavy (I am 6'9"). Just be careful with the first progression dips she showed, the ones she did on the window, and then extending legs to make them harder. That position where your elbows go behind your back leaves your shoulders extremely vulnerable, and you could hurt them. Especially when you start from a cedentary life, you may have very bad shoulder muscle balance. This means the front of your shoulders is usually way stronger than the back and sides (they are less used). So when you do exercises like that it's very easy to lose support, and your shoulder can, even for a second, pop out of place. It took me 6 months to recover, so watch out for dips, save your rotator cuffs :D EDIT: Dips on the bar are way safer, it's just the one on the bench where you sit in the front, that put your shoulder in that weird position with the elbows WAY behind your back while your torso is bending in the opposite direction. When you do the dips on the bar the torso can move forward and help secure a better shoulder angle.

Thank you Lucy, this is just what I need as a complete beginner 💕💪

[@lucylismore]

Yay so exciting!! 🤩🤩 Keep me updated on your progress, you got this 👏🏻❤️

[@praepurr8352]

I’ve been waiting for this!!

[@jofitness9373]

As a student without gym access I‘ve been finding it hard to find equipment to do pull up progression/bw rows on… I have tried chairs and tables but I just don‘t feel confident with those (support/safety/function). Not having a pull up bar/parallel bars available for training also makes it easier for my brain to not work towards a pull up. It‘s annoying me because I feel like I‘m skipping and missing out on pull exercises. I feel like avoiding pull up work is more of a mental thing for me but physically it feels so out of reach as well… (I‘ve been doing bw training for 1.5y now coming from a very unfit/obese starting point.) It’s probably just me not getting started though… Anyone having a similar issue or advice?😊 But thank you for the video, Lucy, it does help!

[@jofitness9373]

*I‘m thinking about just getting a pull up rack for my birthday this year…

[@chRizma]

I've found the pull up bars that you hang over a door on kijiji, if that's an option for you they're usually pretty cheap secondhand and often for sale (in my area at least). Ours is over a door parallel to a railing so I can do incline/horizontal pullups

[@jofitness9373]

@@chRizma Thanks for the recommend! :)

[@chRizma]

[@loispayne1474]

Pull up bar over your door, or even if you have a local park with a bar you can work with. That’s what I used :)

[@rumanakarim9593]

Lucy , you are amazing ! Your weight loss journey is so motivating for all. Loved this video like you I also am introduce with this word Calisthenics for the first time. Well Lucy, I am in my late 50's and have been more on walking and at times did all these exercises. Do you feel I can do all this and go for it. Looking forward to hear from you! All the best

[@nawsnawsstudio6616]

Thank you so much, there is so hard to find thus type of video. It always HIIT, now i can work this excerise out with someone.

Hi Lucy - what trainers (sports shoes) do you wear for Calisthenics?

[@rupinjeremiah9589]

Hi Coach Lucy! I am a man and just saw this video because my grandma does this lesson! I didn't think much of this so she challenged me to an armwrestle. I could not even move her arm even using both my arms together! I feel really weak and unconfident. 😟

[@wiwinization1]

I love thisss

[@0zyris]

You need to allow a half second between cuts when you edit so it doesn't jump.

[@FrozenFireMeltedICe]

Anyone have any tips on wrist pain with push-ups, planks etc.? My wrists are not flexible enough to bend to 90 degrees, so forcing them results on a lot of pain. I'd love to learn how to work around that

[@tybaltmercutio]

I‘m practicing calisthenics for almost two years but I still spend about 10 - 15 min on warming up the wrists before starting any workout. Hence, that would be my first recommendation to you: 1.) Look for a good wrist warmup tutorial tailored for calisthenics and spend about 10 - 20 min warming up until you feel them getting looser and more relaxed. 2.) Try to put as little pressure as possible on your outer hands but instead try to squeezing the hands together to put most of your weight on the inside of the hands (on the thick part underneath your thumb). 3.) Actively engage your wrists by putting the weight not right underneath your wrists but by engaging your inner knuckles instead.

[@FrozenFireMeltedICe]

@@tybaltmercutio thank you so much!

[@bratSebastian]

@@FrozenFireMeltedICe You can buy youself some push-up handles. There are some with rotation that would be the best as that would be the contradicting excercise shown at 7:15. I myself am using chairs to do that. I grip at the far end of the seats. Holding like that will not entirely pull the preasure off your wrists and require those chairs to be properly placed for the stability, therefore I would strongly recommend those handles that are pretty cheap. Actually I've just ordered a pair of them a minute ago.

[@T_Smoke]

Think I just wrecked my spine/shoulder blade trying that “hold bar, move shoulders together” 😂 Maybe I didn’t do it right or I wasn’t ready for it. I won’t be trying that again for a few days 😂

[@siberfit27]

Thanks for helpful video! I like your tutorial! Great workout! 💪😊🌷

Does weight loss help with reducing the stretch marks?

Hi Lucy, what are your fitness qualifications please? Thanks
