Best way to start off with calisthenic training

 Many times we skip the gym and let the gilt crucify us to sleep. A lot of people that work out usually do so in the morning before work or in the evening after work. However a late wake up or long day can sometimes derail those plans. In comes Calisthenics, the can do anywhere, anytime fitness. A quick push-up pyramid(incline or flat) or dip pyramid (which can be done on a chair or table) would definitely kill any anxiety from a long day or  late morning causing you to miss a workout. These simple and intense routines allow for one to get that fat burning furnace going and those muscles growing. Calisthenics requires simple natural body movements that engage multiple muscles allowing for one to do a complete workout in under 15 minutes a day and see results. As I stated in my last post its about gradual progression. The goal is to improve your conditioning as you get older.
Start where you are at in your fitness level...and remember there's level to this. No one can jump into calisthenics doing 100 push-ups 50 dips etc...
Push up holds - These will allow your arms and core to get use to handling your body-weight.

Week 1: 
  • simply perform a high plank (push-up position) make sure your core (glutes, abs, lubar) is tight and head is aligned with your spine. For those unable to hold the position with just their hands and toes touching the floor, the knees can come down (however make sure the your form is still in tact). Hold for as long as possible. 
  • wait 1 minute then do as many push-ups as you can.
  • DO this for one week
week 2:
  • simply start with doing as many pushups as you can 
  • next hold for as long as you can in the pushup position
You will feel this in your core, arms and quads as well as your chest.

Form is everything: Make sure your body is completely align and your core is tight with your fingers facing forward.
Lower your body so that your elbows bend below the 90 degree angle and your chest almost touches the floor.
