How to Start Training on RINGS - Tips for Beginners 

Tbh I'm just glad to see an instructor with a top on

Just moved from weights to rings... After 35 years of weights... And holy shit... The changes in my overall strength is amazing... I used to think I was strong, until I started on the rings

I like how you mimic the struggle of the beginner to sympathize with us. Very appreciated :)

0:39 Your CrossFit technique is excellent

Why I watch your videos: 20% for the fitness 80% for nature and scenery

Great video. I'm very encouraged. I just got some rings at age 67.

I bought my first set of rings a few weeks ago as an early birthday present. Turned 63 yesterday. I've watched a few videos but you are the best so far. Thanks for the beginner tips. ❤

cant wait to try this! Looks like it will be along journey, nevertheless a whole lot of fun!

I had 4 babies in 4 years. My arms are so strong! But my core... Haha. All gone. Your ring exercises gave me a boost in confidence to move from my daily walk with the dog. I am now doing rings, walking, skipping and chin ups on our stairs. I think I was scared I could no longer be fit after babies because I had left it. Thank you!!!

I just bought my rings and started to exercise about a month ago, but it already transformed my training. I could say that this was the missing element I was looking for. I find this video very useful, especially the info about the "false grip". For those who are just starting: Do it in small steps, it WILL pay off.

Best beginner rings video hands down. Straight to the point, and all baby steps included. Prefect

VERY GOOD BROTHER !

Me in the park trying to look küL with my new rings: *F* *L* *A* *I* *L* *I* *N* *G*

Just got a pair of rings... it was really helpful to know that they are less stable the lower they are. I couldn't support myself lower - but up higher I can at least hold for 5 seconds. Thanks for the useful video!

you sir are an awesome youtuber!! keep it up

inspirational -starting on rings @ 62 yrs. well done. Thanks very much

Lord of the rings!

Amazing video, I appreciate your content. You fill my knowledge base of useful exercises to do with my rings, thank you!

Great video, I loved the pace and the straight forward supply of streaming facts. Excellent.

I've been watching your videos recently and I really like them. They're concise, precise and extremely helpful. You're doing a great job, thanks a lot!

I've always dreamed of starting this, and this video makes it seem much more possible. Thank you for this! Very inspiring.

my trainer has offered to start including ring training....can hardly wait! Good video. Thanks.

Thanks for the great tips! Just recently got my rings up and starting to learn how to incorporate ring training into my fitness routine. Can't do anything yet, being so outta shape for so many years, so am starting out on just doing holds for time. Am definitely looking forward to learning and progressing with them. Thanks again!

My rings hang outside at home and it's lovely to get fresh air while beginning the rings journey. This video shows I've made a good start after just a few outings - wonderful feeling at 73.

I'm going to make a set of wooden rings immediately. Thanks for a great video. Much respect for your dedication.

Mad strength and skills! Great vid.

I like how you talk about your struggle starting out. Inspires me to not give up and expect a challenge right from the start

Great video- thanks for all the variations of exercise

Got some 1" x 9' long NRS heavy duty tie down straps and rings some years ago. One of the best investments I ever made for strength training. I only very recently got back into using them and am going all the way this time, with regular workouts. Already after several weeks, I went from barely being able to get into the support position at all to doing ring dips with close to full ROM and can hold the support position for at least 25 seconds. The NRS straps are very, very solid and are extremely quick and easy to adjust. Much easier than the straps that came with my rings with the larger buckles. The NRS straps are rated for lashing up to 1,500 pounds so I don't have any concerns about durability. Rings are mentally stimulating and rewarding, which goes even further beyond the strength gains. As your body adapts and can do more and more complex movements, it proves to be really rewarding and satisfying and encourages you to keep going. Same reason I prefer shadowboxing for my cardio workout: I'm practicing old skills and building new skills as I get a workout. The workout at times almost feels like a byproduct of learning a new skill, and at that point it feels more like fun than working out and it can be hard to stop. More and more of my spare time is spent messing around on the rings or doing calisthenics on the floor, simply trying to find if I can move my body in new ways due to increases in strength. So my baseline activity level has also gone up just for the enjoyment of it. The rewards we get from ring training are tremendous. So finally, thanks for sharing this video and all the tips you provided. Very helpful and also very motivating for someone who's just getting back into ring training and is excited to train my body and grow stronger.

Day 1 with rings and I couldn't do a single dip properly and thought may be it's me because parralel bar dips are waaay easier. Feel more confident after this video. Thanks man.

Great video I’ve recently got some rings pretty rubbish at it at the moment but I’m determined to improve, you videos are just the motivation I need to improve and progress. 👍🏻

this is all great advice, I've recently started on rings with the help of some other beginner routines i found here on the toob and it's true - they are great! Cheap as chips and super challenging in a versatile way. Really like your vibe man stay well and thanks for posting

Excellent beginners tutorial. Thank-you...

Just ordered mine!!!! I want to start off with chest, core, dips, and pull ups so I can do muscle ups. Awesome video!!!! 💪

Bought rings a couple months ago, but finally got around to messing with them this weekend. I never thought I'd have so much fun working out.

Very good, and straight to the point.

I just got my rings and wow! I thought I was pretty strong. I can't wait to see how much stronger I will be.

I am amazed to see this video in my feed! I was literally on the rings in my community this morning. Uncanny coincidence? Or does the RU-vid algorithm know me much better than I think? 🧐

Excellent video! Simple and totally motivating! Thank you a lot!

Hey TrainingPal, thanks for the informative and quality content. You’ve obviously worked hard to get to your point. Rings always made me curious; when I tried them back when I went to the gym, I failed horribly. I will watch this later to attempt to conquer rings at some point. Much brotherly love, and may God be with you!

Great vid! My rings are on order! Should be here this coming week. I will be using your guidance to get me started. Wish I had done this years ago! Yours look very easy to adjust to various heights I hope the ones I have ordered are like that. They had good reviews on Amazon! Thank you! Btw, I will be 71 this year. I love Bodyweight training.

great video dude!

this was a great video brother. Amazing job in your progress on rings

Super solid. All the info was nice and compact!

Thanks mate! I live in an apartment and have no calisthenics park nearby... Spent months thinking about buying dips bar and pull ups bar and where to put them (my aparmente is really super small), but I guess I'll buy a couple fo rings now! Even if it's harder than bars, I'm sure I'm gonna make... Just need more time and training harder!!

thanks for your videos, it's exactly how i want to progress :)

Just started using the rings and very helpful and informative.

such a simple and precise video, i love it, is a audiovisual work of art

Subscribed! Just found your channel. Good content. Thanks bro.

great video ! i train now 6 months with rings and i made a great process ! i agree 100% with you :) rings are great ! thx dude

Just got some rings today! Can't wait to start using them.

Thanks for sharing! I had a 2 level back fusion about 9 months ago and started working out at home. I bought some rings a few weeks ago and they are a challenge. Not only am I getting stronger but endurance is getting much better also. A must have for anyone at any stage of working out.

top man! now i know what to do with my rings!

Just subscribed! this video is really good! Thanks :-)

Great video. Thanks a million. It has been really useful

I bought my rings about a week ago. I've done what you've said in this video, and I just did my first ring dip. I'm watching again to see what more I can do, what goals to set, and to say thank you showing me how to make these enjoyable.

Very informative and simple to apply! Big Shout out from U Are The Gym & The Denver Bar Squad

I simply hang of the rings and focus entirely on my breathing. Your body will naturally start seeing what its capable of. Your breath is really where your strength is, I find that as I focus on my breath it becomes deeper and I find more strength and control over my body, naturally holding more difficult positions and the main advantage I find is that when you focus on your breath you don't over exert yourself, I actually feel stronger towards the end of my session and don't feel sore the next day even though I trained for like an hour. I find that this is a much better approach than pushing for reps or forcing yourself into positions your not really ready for.

Thank you for the demonstration. Cheers!

Great, great, great video! I bought rings a few weeks ago to start doing Pec flys, but I haven't been practicing them too much, as they are hard. I've been looking at my rings for the past few days, wondering about how useful of a purchase it had been. Now I got some useful beginner goals to achieve and a great guide for progression. I'll definitely start to incorporate these exercises in my workouts! Thank you! By the way: great channel, love the videos where you share your experience as a traveller and life as a youtuber.

Thank you for the excellent helpful video. I am ordering rings.

fuuuuuuuuuuuckk yeeeeeesssssss. so excited to get ripped and talk with a slick russian accent

This is exactly the level I've been searching for. I have weak upper body so thank you for the guidance!

Thanks very much. This has helped immeasurably.

Thank you so much for this informative and well-produced video. I recently bought a pair of rings and was discouraged because they were so hard to use. But when I saw that you, too had struggled with them at first, I was encouraged to continue. I find that I make slow, but steady progress. I was particularly inspired by what you said at the end: _The hardest thing to do is the first step. But once you get on the path, you'll never look back._ Q: You say that rings work the whole body. Do they really work the legs?

great video man

Awesome video this is exactly that I was looking for, thank you.

Very good instructions. I appreciate the video

5:10 ...and as always have nice day

OMG on 1:18 view is beautiful. Love Fall

thanks! this is great, I started a few weeks ago and am already much more stable, excited to see where it takes me.

LOVE the video most in importantly you give a step by step method

Started off my calisthenics journey late last year by watching your introduction video, after finally losing the weight I wanted to get rid of with cardio. I started with all the basic stuff, push-ups etc. 20 reps, then 40 reps, then 60 reps. I then followed your follow-up video. Yesterday I held a back lever for 10 seconds, several handstands for 10 seconds and L-sits are going good as well. Starting from this week I'll gradually start to work towards the human flag. Might try and go for the front lever as well at some point. Odds are I'll replace the basic excersises with ring variants sometime soon to keep improving. I'll let you know after the summer how I've progressed, haha. Wish me luck! Lastly I'd like to thank you, very much. As you've been of great help and I very much appreciate all your videos. Quite proud how far I've come even though it can be intimidating considering I'm 190cm tall. But you got me there! Keep it up pal! :)

This was an excellent introduction to rings. I could not have imagined a better sequence of exercises, from the ultimate baby basics to the first steps to competence. Sold! I think that rings are the very sort of thing that I've been looking for for years but never thought about.

Very nice guideline! Really well structured and also one of the few that explains calm and doesn't have that rush like they've had 10 extra red bull. 🙌🙌🙌🙌

fantastic video. simple and easy to follow and understand exercises for beginners on rings. I have had my rings for while and needed some simple advice to get started, this video has really helped thank you....

Friend: "Ohhh so what you been watching on youtube?" Me: "Just some dude playing with his ring in the woods!"

Any recommendations as to which rings I should buy? I'm looking for the best quality rings for the lowest price. Thanks!

Excellent video instruction. Thank you Sir

Great video, very informative and inspiring. I have just bought some rings and needed something just like this to encourage me to start. Thank you!😀

I cant wait to get me some rings. Although how would you do legs?

What's the best brand for gymnastics rings and where do you recommend to look for them online?

Someone who understands what 'beginner' means!

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to see to begin my training

what am i doing here, watching the whole video... i cant even do a push up

Couldn't take him seriously. He was wearing a shirt.

Wow the "military press" like exercise in the end was GOLD! Just got mines yesterday and i'm looking for some guidance on this. Thanks a lot mate!

Just bought a set of these and already practiced a bit. Love them. Cant wait to start progressing

Very useful video. I just learned about rings and am buying my first set. Thanks for the helpful tips on how best to start using them.

Thank you for actually have a beginner start! So many videos their beginner starts are already just pulling up into the rings!

You da MAN! Thank you for this thorough explanation. My rings arrive tomorrow! Can't wait now :)

Thanks Pal! Progressing in my calisthenics training, and excited to one day start training on rings. This is very inspiring, and I'm sure I will watch this video multiple times.

Really good Video, I have been watching your Videos now for 2 Months and it is like a drug. You encouraged me to start Calisthenics from the first Video, and I spent my hole pocket money on equipment.

Excellent informative video!

Very helpful video man. Thanks. Just got my set of rings and I can't wait to get started. I've been doing pull ups for a while so hopefully I get the stability part sorted.

Very well done sir. I learned more here in a few minutes than Anywhere else that I've seen so far.
