happy new year bro ❤ Iam 16 years old I also want to start calisthenics at home but i don't have any idea or workout program can you help me

You might have heard it already, but start with basics first, as they build the foundational strength for everything no matter what your goal is in calisthenics, even if you trained in the gym before. Start by doing these exercises ( pushups, dips, pullups, Australian pull-ups (pullups on a low bar), planks, leg raises). If you want to train legs from home, then do bodyweight squats, jump squats, assisted and unassisted pistol squats, lunges. It’s hard to give you an exact plan, because I don’t know you, but for example you can train like this: Monday/ sets of pushups, planks, leg raises Tuesday/ pullups, Australian pullups, (if you can’t do a pullup progress to one with negatives and banded pullups), leg exersices if you want Wednesday/ rest Thursday/ rest Friday/ the workout from Monday, try to progress Saturday/ the workout from Tuesday, try to progress Sunday/ rest It’s useful to move on rest days to recover better from training, such as to walk or run, but not too much. Master pushups (like 40 reps) and pullups (like 15 reps) with clean form. When training normal pullups also do the Australian pullups and when you have mastered pushups, start with dips and master them. The basics are important, but for everyone it is different because for example if you are short and light you might achieve a muscle up when you can do only 10 clean pullups. Try skills like Handstand and Muscle up after you’ve mastered the basics. If your basic strength is not enough then combine skill training with weighted basics, but it’s for later. For now just focus on the basic exersices with your own bodyweight and keep in mind that you need them for the future.

What exercises should i have to do i can do 30 pushups in row and 10 pullups

[@dimacalix]

It’s difficult to say. What is your goal and also how tall are you and how much do you weigh? You could start training the handstand with your strength and the muscle up for example, but then you also need explosive pulling strength which is difficult to have with 10 pullups. You need to try things out.
