ANYONE can learn calisthenics & handstands || Real and honest progress!

[@bb_ninja_cat]

I love the transparency and honesty. It's refreshing to know everyone has their own journey and it's not about where you start but where you finish that matters.

[@Sondre_Berg]

That is what I am trying to convey :) I am glad you liked it👍

[@Bodyweightchad]

This channel is so underrated. It will boom one day mark my words

[@Sondre_Berg]

haha, thanks for the support man :)

[@yusufabdulloh]

totally agree

[@yusufabdulloh]

This is so motivating Mr. Berg. I am 33 years old, I started my journey in calisthenics when I was 31, that was July 1st 2019, yes maybe it was late for me. It took about 7 months for me to get my handstand good enough. Now, my latest skill is 90 degree pushup on low parallel bars, also I am working on my planche. What I want to say is, it is still possible to pursue your calisthenics skills although you are in 30's. Thank you for sharing this, this is real and honest progress indeed.

[@victormanuelpolanco922]

At 52 I'm now almost on the verge of unlocking a consistent freestanding handstand. Actually I can freestanding handstand but not with the degree of consistency I'm aiming to. While I've been intent and going after my first handstand since 2015 it's not until the last couple years that I've made the most progress.

[@Asadc1995]

Do you still use the wall?

[@Sondre_Berg]

Keep going Victor 😊

[@6SoulHunter9]

It is refreshing to have a so approch this transparent. This feels like genuine teaching, and not like influencer's marketing. Keep going! I am sure you will achieve your place between top fitness youtubers as you have everything to reach the top.

[@Sondre_Berg]

Appreciate the support 😊 I never considered myself as an influencer anyways 😜

[@the_artist270]

Love from india ❤️.. Telugu... Realy great video... 🥰

[@elmailona3844]

This video is inspiration galore! I was especially encouraged by Trude, who, being roughly my age, helped me to have faith that you don't need to be young to learn new skills. Handstanding is something I always wished I could do - but now I'm done with wishing and busy practising! 😄Thank you all for sharing your journey. 💐💖

[@MagnusMas]

I love the content and diversity of this video. I stopped working out in the gym(over 10 years with physique competition), and started calisthenics in July this year(4months now). I love it, outdoor with nature, less noise, currently stuck in straddle planche for 2 seconds and couldnt do free handstand still. train everyday. and oneday.

[@Sondre_Berg]

Thats very cool man :) Great to hear you are enjoying your calisthenics journey so far! I bet you allready have a great foundation, so I guess progress will come somewhat quicker 👍

[@noneyabiz7509]

I started from scratch a month ago mainly from you videos. It amazing how different some of the other want you to kick and tips are different. But I kept coming back to u. Now 1 month in I can hold 5 or 6 seconds but not consistently. I still need more strength in my wrists I believe and I'm a little older than these peeps starting out. Most of stuff I've done my whole life had been just for body cut and looks now becoming more for athletic functions

[@tonyhedworth4255]

Nice video…. I’m 53 and started my callisthenics journey around the start of the pandemic - It took me 8 months to handstand, 6 months to muscle up…. I made stupid mistakes at the beginning with overuse injuries from no rest, mainly on golfers elbow, and shoulder impingement. I’m currently working on improving shoulder mobility to improve my handstand (I like your thoracic bridge follow along) and am working towards HSPU and planche for 2022.

[@LittlePatter8]

6 months to muscle up 😮 wow, I've been working on it for years

[@bios546]

Finally feels like there's a community now Nice

[@andreafiaschi5904]

Ok from now on wrist and shoulder work every day to avoid these frequent injuries. Epic video as usual!

[@arturoperez2722]

WHAT A VIDEO!! Props to you, mate. I htink this is "The channel" that keeps me motivated, good content, quality, variety, so transparent, Sondre Berg always with a good vibe and these type of videos that makes you realize that calisthenics and fitness in general is an amazing journey and not just goals to post on social media (like skils or certain amount of reps idk). There's much more behind the results, and hearing it from other people really motivates me. Thanks, Sondre Berg!!! You're The man

[@Sondre_Berg]

Thanks for the comment :) It is good to know that the message I am trying to convey is also received and understood how i intend it to 😊That is the most difficult part of content creation I think 😅 I still have a long way to go and lots of things I want to share, but the support I get from people like you is well received and motivates me to keep going

[@jscheidlberger]

Great video! Love the honesty and openness from all the people

[@MoSaleem]

Wow...sharing the wisdom of so many different perspectives. Amazing video

[@stereoscuro]

Thanks for such inspirational video. It made me emotional because of my own struggles in the past and present, and yet I am achieving great things I thought I was never going to achieve only a few years ago.

[@Sondre_Berg]

I am so happy to hear that 😊 Keep going and your progress will continue 🔥

[@mirnabarbosa4951]

Very good to hear the different experiences...most of them so young...but I have not lost hope, the important thing is to keep trying

[@harshrathod5061]

I actually thought I’d get an answer from you how long it would actually take but tbh I really enjoyed this video so much that it legit helps ne a lot It’s been 5 days since I’ve been working on my handstand and today I did my personal best of let’s see 3.5 to 4 second handstand and this video really helps and motivates me Thankyou so much and please keep up the good work ♾

[@Mushroom321-]

Great video & everyone saying their own reasons !! 😲👏👏 i love it !!

[@60SecondCalisthenics]

This was awesome! Love how you broke this down through interviews. And quick clips. This is great calisthenics motivation. ✅ 💯💯💯

[@scottcottiss4577]

Great video, being relatively new to it, it's nice hearing how long other people take rather than just seeing people busting great moves effortlessly. It makes me feel better about my slow but constant progress👍

[@Sondre_Berg]

Slow and constant progress is the way to go👍

[@scottcottiss4577]

@@Sondre_Berg I found your channel about 2 weeks ago, your way of delivering content is spot on! I'm trying to get my free standing handstand, I managed 18 sec today but had many bad ones!! Should I focus on mastering my balance first (not completely straight) or focus on getting it straight and then work on the balance?

[@gustavwenhelseth7681]

@@scottcottiss4577 Getting more time upside down is more beneficial at first. After that, work on the line :)

[@Sondre_Berg]

@@scottcottiss4577 Agree with Gustav here :) Balance is the most important, especially in the beginning! I would however recommend also doing some form training using the wall as well as mobility drills for your shoulder

[@marcusson1983]

Excellent video Sondre

[@lathetics]

That's actually so motivating to hear I really needed this

[@Flamdring]

Amazing video! Really love the background laugh and sounds in the second half of the video. It makes the video sound really alive as if I am there seeing the people myself.

[@jurajkovac9990]

1 tip: Always listen to your body. If your body says it has enough give yourself rest otherwise you risk injuries. On the other hand if some exercise feels like there is no chalange for you or is too easy it is probably time to start with harder more advanced variantions to make better progres. Great video 🙂

[@khoidao_t3LLw4y]

oh my god, this video is awsome, keep it going

[@mericmemis3544]

Content is facinating.

awesome job dude, thanks for sharing your amazing work.

I am happy you enjoy the video :)

[@danielreisenhofer]

Wow, awesome Video. I have learned a lot now from the different characters and how they experience the calisthenics World.

[@TJ-vn4wp]

Great video! Very motivational.

[@bios546]

Sondre, thanks a lot for the transparency. Ideas for future videos anyways could be like... Calisthenics/handbalancer tries xyz kida challenges later on And a few training vlogs and collabs maybe?

[@denisrigoli5854]

i LOVED ! nice,give me motivation tu push more!

[@deeplearnit]

Thank you for this video, very inspiring, this kind of content is motivating for a beginner. Just started one month ago calisthenics, actually focusing on basic movements and mobility and set L-sit as my first goal.

[@mohmca99]

very informative video we need more like that thanks

[@paradedadiego]

Amazing! Congrats

[@flenji]

that was a really cool video to see the journeys of all these different people :) i guess i was really lucky that i started handstand at the age of 13, i feel some skills are easier to learn as kid and so it took only like 1 month to achieve a 15 seconds free standing handstand. Now i am 22 and my goal is to achieve the straight 1 arm handstand on both sides and somewhere in the future i want to be able to do a straddle planche but i think this will take me really long. Anyway thank you for your videos, i really enjoy them. Oh and by the way i achieved the straddle one arm handstand mostly because of your tutorial, less ego lifting was the most important tip for me :D

[@Sondre_Berg]

Great to hear 😊 and congrats on your OAHS 🥳

[@anthonyinhcmc3234]

Really great video.

[@melvinaquino3273]

Great video i’ve been trying to handstand 10 meses, and only done 3 sec, and about 3 days ago 5 sec and havent done it again , strugling with handstand hold , be patien thx 🙏🏻

[@Sondre_Berg]

Yes, just be patient and stay consistent. It is perfectly normal that it goes up and down and depends on the day :) I am sure if you compared you last session with a session 5 meses ago, you have had great progress 😊

[@melvinaquino3273]

Thx 🙏🏻

[@normanquednau]

Very inspiring video! My advice: take a good coach like Sondre and be consistent.

I personally want to be able to move my body however I want artistically like you. Could you make a video on how to get there and how you got there?

[@HakeemSW]

Really cool video 👏

[@ahwanbisht2713]

I did a 10 second handstand in a month but was comfortable with it in mid 2nd or 3rd month. Now my whole youtube recommendation is full of handstand

[@psof332]

Amazing video :)

[@wumperX]

Crazy good video. I was lacking motivation now that winter is coming and its getting dark and cold really fast. Its getting hard going out to a park in these conditions. This video has sparked my motivation again. I am really intrested to see how you train during winter Sondre. Does anything change in your routine at all?

[@Sondre_Berg]

I am happy to hear you enjoyed the video 😊 Winter for me usually means more strength focus and more drilling. During summer I tend to be a lot more playful and also bit more un structured beacuse I love being outside, hiking and enjoying nature as well

[@alejandro-rosas]

What if you start when you are 42. How much time does it take? Going from no training to training 6 days a week 40min in 2 years

Very nice video👌 1 is better than 0 so yes, just start 😊

[@mohamedsoltani6293]

This video is really cool. So nice to hear honest opinions from such a diverse group. No wonder I don't make much progress though, I only have time to train twice a week for 45minutes, where does everyone get the time to train so many hours a week?? I wish we had a calisthenics community in my area, I only train alone, at home, with youtube!
