3 Things To Know BEFORE Starting CALISTHENICS 

My Calisthenics Programs: 👉 fitnessfaqs.com

1- Quality over Quantity 2- work on streeching 3- be patient, result will come by time & thanks a lot Daniel, you are truly give us great informations

1. Be short 2. Be light 3. Be Russian

When he popped up for that intro I thought he was gonna say: "HEY VSAUCE Michael here..."

1. Keep it simple. 2. Do not overthink it. 3. Do what you can sustain over time.

1. Always warm up. 2. Start slow after being ill. 3. Don't give 120% for your ego, you'll get hurt. 4. Start with (shoulder) mobility NOW and make it a habit.

Take your time and practice the perfect form before moving to harder progressions or weight even it means that you will lose half of your reps in that exercise. Own the exercise, don't let it own you.

Basics, Basics, Basics! dont rush into skills when your just getting started. build a strong foundation.

Be consistent. One and only advice

The biggest piece of advice I give people when they see me do stuff like that is to watch your vids man. Also I look up to you, you're the perfect person for me because I'm 6 foot 1 and 98kg's. and yet im here banging out muscle ups and front levers like its nothing. And i learned it all here man, thanks :).

Work on quality not quantity

Advice: Treat mobility training with the same respect you give to strength training. If you don’t, you’re going to hit a brick wall where you physically can’t progress to more advanced movements.

Don't underestimate the importance of shoulder stability and mobility and its ability to improuve significantly especially for older guys like me who work hard labor jobs and decided to get in shape later on in their life .

4- Do not skip legs day

good vid Daniel, salute for keeping up still and giving out quality stuff. Good luck

My tip would be this : buy resistance bands! I learned the muscle-up thanks to bands and now I'm learning the levers with them. It's the best way to learn skills.

If i was able to go back in time, i'd tell myself to buy a shitload of bitcoin

First - great video. Thanks for putting the time and effort into it. My advice: 1. Stay healthy. Personally, there have been times when my diet was not right. I used to have back pain which turned out to be a muscle issue in leg pulling on my spine. Some health issues will prevent gains and may lead to injuries. 2. Be patient. Everyone gets results at different rates. If you have plateaued for a while it may be worth it to get some help from someone with more experience. 3. Enjoy what you do, even the training. If you are not enjoying the exercise then either get some coaching or change up your routine. Life is too short to be spent on things that are not enjoyable.

You and my mate Rob are truly inspirational...thank you 🙏

You are so honest, so real. Man, thank you, you are an inspiration.

Always warm up properly before every work out! Be patient and progressive.

Thank you my friend for this video. I appreciate you. I like how you talk about bulking vs getting your moves down. No stress, muscle comes as bodyweight skills progress!

Nice advices !! Love the video!!

real useful and realistic advices. thanks a lot !

I've lost 25lbs through exclusively HIIT workouts over 3 months and now that i have my base slate to build muscle through calisthenics, this video has shown me what other videos haven't. Easily a favorited video.

I think being mindful in every moment and every aspect of your training so as to avoid injuries is paramount.

Really good video thank you! I’m only two week in and I’ve found calisthenics to be a really mentally positive approach to exercise. In the gym I found myself exercising 100% focused on shaping my body, but with calisthenics it’s so refreshing to focus on strength and progression, with body results being an added bonus. Every time I look in the mirror I think “that’s fine because I’ll look better in a few month” and I MEVER gave myself that much time to grow when doing general gym. Changing my lifestyle and I like it!

Thanks bro! Just starting out, as in this is my first week of Calisthenics. Doing the Cali Move Body Transformation program, and watching you and several other youtubers. This video right here - very inspirational.

ive only been doing calisthenics for about a year and half but the main thing that has made a difference in my training that shot me from slow progress to much much faster gains in strength and skills was consistency and the second thing was form the 3rd and i feel just as important was mind set without a clear goal you will go no where. one must start to finish. one must know where you are to know where you want to go. how you get there is up to you .

Thank you, I'm loving your contribution! Sober and sane!

came across your channel this week, what a gem. Cheers

one really helpful advice: don't waste your time with social medias, tv, computer games and all that stuff, instead don't let your dreams be dreams and let them be real

I cried when I watch your video. Even if I've been doing calisthenics for several years, I still feel really moved by what you said because we have the same passion for it. Thank you very much for the video!

Very wise man definitely worth a subscription. 💯

Thanks for the great advice. Stoked to see you're a drummer as well!

My advise to all people, muscles is not everything! Health is gold, just keep working & moving

Number one piece of advice... Don’t neglect the basics. - Your pal Luke

I get asked a lot of fitness questions on Quora and you are one of about three guys I always reference. You have the education and expertise along with your profession to pass on a lot of good advice.

Very good advice. Practical and Honest. Thanks!

Love this video, especially when you talked about how a generalist calisthenics athlete will need to be patient :) My advice to beginners would to be stop searching for different kinds of method, the perfect workout program or the best tutorial on something. Just do a simple research on a topic you want to know (this channel is a good one!), get a decent amount of information and go from there. Many people find themselves watching many RU-vid videos and over analyze what they need to do. They don’t actually put in the work and LEARN from their mistakes. Calisthenics is a journey. We will learn and adapt if we actually put in the work. Plus that is what makes it fun :)

Thanks for the sharing, Daniel! Started calisthenics in 2012, not as good as you. Managed only back lever and tucked front, still working on muscle up now. If I were to give 3 points, 1. "Be patience. Stay focused. You'll get there" Kudos to the beginner advantage point. It can be demoralizing but it's natural, happens to everyone, hang in there. I resonate with your social media point, and I think this applies to life in general. Stay in your own lane. If you have the time to be sour and/or bitter watching others, you are not focused enough. 2. "Strength first, technique follows" This is somewhere along the line with your generalization vs specialization point. Foundation, foundation, foundation. 3. Not necessarily "calisthenics only" Do whatever it keeps the journey fun, fresh, and move towards your goal. Weightlift, weighted calisthenics moves. Be open-minded to the spices. Now, if I may add on 1 more, 4. "Know when to take a break" Overtrain in term of volume or progression. This might come with experience, and it's a fine line, but it's crucial. Irreversible injured condition is killing. Try not to go there. Cheers!!

Love the practical advice you provide. This really helps me set realistic goals for my body type and skill level without feeling like a failure. Thanks you!

Words of wisdom! thank u

Advice I would give is to simply leave the ego at the door and be patient. Results will come if you let them.

My advice is simple. I would tell myself "You're gifted, your strength is incredible. Do not get discouraged by day to day things... never stop training"

Just starting in calisthenics, great advices! Thank you!

love your honesty and humility thank you for the wisdom and guidance, Great Job!

pleasee do more advanced videos.. how to periodize, how many times a week to train certain movements, best accesory movements for skill and basics and so so onn .. otherwise great!

I am a female just turned 40. I am quite fit (I bike, stretch and do vinyasa several times a week). A while ago I got really excited about building strong and lean muscles. I am realistic as to what I can expect but I would like to follow a plan. Would any of yours work for women? Could you recommend any? Thank you 😊

Awesome video right here Daniel👍

Another awesome video. Thank you.

Always consult a real physical therapist/licensed coach to make sure you are working even the basics (squats, push ups, pull ups etc.) with correct form, correct posture and activating the right muscle groups. This comes from someone who trained with the wrong technique for years and wasted alot of time on it.

1.have a plan no plan is a plan to fail 2.slow progress 3.cut calories

Loved the video!

I watch ur videos to get motivated, not just in fitness training, but in life.. I listen to u very attentively all ur words, learn what passion is all about, the role of sincerity to get the job done.!! thanku Daniel.

My advice is to put in the work especially the days that you are not feeling it.

Deamn when u enter a gym and see those 10 yo kids doing handstand on the rings and you asking what ur doing with ur life

Thanks for sharing! Will put this on my sport blog to let others know about it!

I have been following your channel for about two or more years now Daniel, and I have got to say THANK YOU for all these precious and so valuable information, tibs and advices. THANKS a lot for that and also for all the Inspiaration and Motivation. It is really an Eye pleasure to watch you performing all these advanced bodyweight skills in a controlled and consistent fashion. Hope for you all the Best and Success. Never stop doing all these great videos. Thanks again :)

Something I say for years.. You're not invincible ALWAYS properly warm up!

Excellent advice. Thanks 👍

Thanks for the pieces of advice. Very valuable!

Best and most simpel advice I can give to beginners: 1.Skip the Kip 2.Always use full range of motion on all movements 3.Always progress on your exercises

Don't quit. Rome wasn't build in a day!

Thanks for the heads up! I'm starting now with exercises in the gym and I want to start to do calisthenics. Trying to change my lifestyle and my mindset to understand that muscle will come in time and with persistence.

This is awesome 🙌🏽👊🏽

Where are all the summary and time-stamp commenting guys when you need one?

Don't neglect self-care! In fact, integrate it into your plan/exercise/workouts! (Especially dealing with the wrists and joints that don't heal/repair as quickly as other soft-tissue)

luv these vids. Thanks for the effort mate

Thanks for the advices Daniel. I have 8 years training now. And I growth a lot since o start to follow you. Big thanks brother I'm very stronger now. Salutes from Mexico.

I'm gonna give 2 pieces of advice: 1) train NEAR failure 2) NUTRITION!!!

1. Mind-muscle connection

I like the life that you are adding to the videos now!

I’m so glad I found this channel. Super knowledgeable trainer who seems like a genuinely decent human being.

Give time to recover

Dat planche at the end 😏

Excellent advice from a Knowledgeable Expert. Thanks Daniel

I really needed the part about being happy with incremental progress. Thanks man!

in my opinion,for thee beginner,there is another advice...make it simple. make things simple is going to give you long term results without stress too much. i say this,because when i was beginner i follow a workout plan very unpleasant made by myself. why? because i couldn't understand that skill training is not regular. One day you can destroy yourself by doing basic,another day you can do also the most difficult form for your body. Make things simple also mean add variety to your training program. It also mean listen to your body and give yourself rest,do what you can do. don't you agree?? thanks fitness faq's for all the true informations you give us. really,thanks. goodbye

To every one, Please make sure you warm up warm up warm up ! good luck :)

GREAAAAAAAT video bro, you really answered two of the most frustrating questions that I always had

Great video bro !!

Similar stats? But how do I find out my HP, STR, END, DEF, etc?

0:01 Hey guys! Vsauce here!

Thank you for the advice. This is a great channel.

Thanks keep pushing 💪

Great Advice... I would always watch instagrams of 5'5" 60kg guys doing planches and thought "why not me?" haha I'm 6'1" 108kg

One advice I would givee my older self would be to stop doing easier exercises like pushups for high reps and expecting progress

Just discovered your videos and as a (complete) amateur practitioner of calisthenics I gotta say your advice is welcome! Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

You are awesome.. love the tone you made the video .. quiet calm and humble

how can you train skills and basics in the same week? plz answer me i'm lost

Doo stretching!!!!!!!!

Your home and you are very organized. You have willpower. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hey Daniel! I'm new to a lot of this type of training. Ive decided to take my body fitness much more serious than in the past but I do realize that I don't really know what to do to achieve my goals. Luckily, I stumbled across your channel and I was hooked since the first video. Have been watching daily and learning so much from this channel. The exercises make so much more sense to me now and I am putting it into practice. I'm very grateful for your teachings. Thank you so much. Best wishes ❤

Do you think it is important to be flexible if you are doing calisthenics?

well, to be honest with myself i do not have any real program that i follow, but i don't know how to build one, my goals are to get better at pull ups mainly, i can do 8 pull ups, can someone please help me build a program i'm lost :(

Nice video! Also, you have a very calming voice. I appreciate it a lot. :)

You always give sage advice, thanks Daniel!
