Hey Ryan, I am a follower of your channel from Srilanka. After starting to follow your channel, I truely got motivated and passionated on physical fitness. I love calisthenics rather to gym workouts. Please explore more about calisthenics and continue teaching us this wonderful art of fitness. Thank you brother !
I finally did my first workout today just a couple minutes ago!! I did it based on the the video of introducing circuits and the 4 movements. I did 2 circuits and god damn I almost want to cry but I feel good about doing it! I had trouble finding a way to do pull ups bc I don’t have any solid doorframes, the chairs I don’t set up and got anxiety to just finish it so I tried the laying down and raising your lower back up for 20 seconds and had to call it after not getting my 20 reps of leg raises, but god damnit I did 2 circuits and felt it!! Thank you dude, I started watching at the end bc of a cool down but honestly ima just drink water on my couch to start, walking is already a warm up to I’ll do what I can. But I’ll watch the rest of it to see what I can change for my next day!
Way to go! I’m glad you’ve gotten started! If the circuits are too intense, you could always pace yourself more (rest between sets within each round of the circuit), or you could do the exercises as straight sets, meaning do one exercise at a time (set, rest, set, rest, etc). It’s difficult to train people via RU-vid because everyone is unique, yet I can’t make a custom program for everyone. Anyway, so glad to hear you got started! Keep it up!
@@MinusTheGym I’m just gonna do them until I can do 4 full circuits with the regressions, and then just keep changing into the next level as I go! Also I was surprised how quickly my body recovered from it with how hard it was, but I’ve been doing stuff all day, and it feels good! I’m gonna have to look into stuff to do on rest days, and idk if it matters too much because just about anything will make me sweat, although being able to bend down easier would be nice! I appreciate the comments from you, and I hope you have a good day!
This is top quality as always. My only problem is that i live on a tiny boat. How tiny? I can't stand upright below decks and i can touch both sides without my arms being at full extension, so I've had to find variations of excersises to fit the space. I do my squats up on deck (weather permitting) and I literally don't have enough floor space anywhere to do a single pushup. I know that sounds absurd on the face of it, but neither above or below decks do I have a single contiguous space which is long enough and wide enough for me to use. As usual though, where there's a will there's a way
11:05 Yup, I had to start with the crab raises, and maybe a week or 2 I was doing the table top. Again that was only a couple weeks, now I'm doing the bridge. Thanks for the video. 👍
Thanks! The workouts in the app play in a sequence. The exercises performed for reps do not have a timer, so you can spend as much time as you want on those, but the stretches, isometric holds and rest periods are all done with timers.
Nice! You won’t need this video for long then :) Stay tuned because I’ll be posting routines designed for BULLBAR coming up soon! Probably in mid February
Failure is my recommendation. If you take each set to failure and train just 3 sets per exercise, 2 or 3x per week, that’s typically a good frequency and intensity for consistent progress until you reach a plateau.
Is it better to switch between exercises so you can skip the 2' rest for a specific exercise or should you complete the 3 sets of an exercise + its rests and then switch to another exercise? Thanks
You can do it either way. Circuit format (doing consecutive sets of all four exercises then resting) is ideal for a tight schedule and really gets the heart rate up, but it won’t optimize your strength for every set. On the other hand, station format (one exercise at a time, set, rest, set, rest, etc) will optimize your strength for every set while taking longer to complete the workout and not challenging your cardio as much as circuit format. So, which one is better honestly depends on your individual goals, preferences and schedule.
Yes. You can do horizontal lat pulls by standing near a doorway. Hold onto the door jamb with both hands, arms fully extended, bend slightly at the knees and rock back onto your heels (toes off the ground), then pull yourself forward and return back to the start position on your heels. I learned this from Mark Lauren’s book You Are Your Own Gym. Some people get under a table and do rows too. I didn’t include any pulling exercises like that because I don’t anyone to use an object not sturdy enough and end up injured.
He man, sorry to trouble you. But I downloaded the app and it says I need to be a member but it also says that I can't join via the app. What's going here? I want to get access to all the routines
No, it won’t kill gains as long as you eat adequate calories. The cardio will help improve blood circulation and enhance your recovery, so it’s a good thing all around.
These are good for beginner level but can be used to advance to intermediate using progressions. I also recommend getting a pull up bar and working on pull ups to enter intermediate level.
Nah, my arms are about 45 degrees from my torso and that’s totally fine. You just don’t want them close to 90 degrees, elbows pointing out to the sides. Don’t worry so much 😉 lol
You can either add a pull up progression as a 5th exercise or replace the reverse plank with pull ups. They work different musculature, but both are posterior exercises so it would make sense to substitute that one with pull ups
I never warm up. My natural movement is my warm up. But if i want a "heart starter" i do 20 jumping jacks and warm up done.... Imagine walking down the street and suddenly a runaway car is heading to you. You're not like, hang on i got to do some stretches and warm up before i run. No, you just go go go. Our body is not so worthless we need to warm up ror every little thing. What is next, sitting down warm up before i get off the chair? Bed warm up before i get up?
@@MisterGames a debate with you is the equivalent of banging your head into a cement wall to try and form a path through. Best just to leave you to your low intellect, you'd be happier. Ignorance is bliss.
Oh jeez, I forgot to include the link 🙄 thanks for pointing that out! It’s this one, and I’ll update the video to include it ASAP: BEST Calisthenics Warm Up Routine For Your Workout ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-esN8GW8bzms.html
