"One day, what you're doing today - which feels impossible, will be your warmup" -- best motivational training comment ever!!
💥💯
👏👏
That's what I LOVE about calisthenics/z weightlifting/body weight more than any other sport. Or gymnastics
This is so trueee
It’s true. I couldn’t do two push-ups. Now I do 15 before work everyday to get me pumped.
"Enjoy being a beginner, and learn something new, enjoy the process."
This is harder, than the excercises themselves.
Then instead, let's choose to tell ourselves that it "is" not "harder than the exercises themselves".
Enjoy the Culture my friend
I’m 14 and a girl and I’ve always thought this was cool. I’m also tired of being called weak so this is one thing I wanna try
You got this!!
Yay! Me 2! Personally, im not called weak but i feel weak and everything else (age and interest) is the same. I know you commented a while ago so i hope its going well!
Yeah same but I'm 16 and I've always been wanting to get stronger so let's try our best together!!
Same I've always been called weak and started working out a week ago. I can see a slightly improvement :>
One of these calisthenics guys on YT says he was that nerdy guy as a teen that was slim and a little quiet. Now he’s a sexy beast. Literally bigger and more shredded than 95% of men. I love calisthenics and I on the other hand and 36 and just had my 4th child 5 months ago, and basically I need a transformation and my journey has led me to calisthenics and I’m literally just getting started with this video now.
i'm a carpenter and i don't recommend pulling yourself up one of your interior doors because it puts a lot of strain on the hinges. your front door is the only one that MIGHT be able to tank that. but be aware that your body weighs way more than any door in and around your house in 99% of cases.
If you have a floor, you have a gym.
💯
unless you wanna build glutes, which requires progressive overload with resistance that's hard to do with body weight
@@stonecat676 resistance bands works pretty good for home workout
@@stonecat676 You can isolate glutes. I destroyed my legs today with only my bodyweight.
@@stonecat676 you can just use a bag as weights
I'm a girl and unlike most of my friends I don't want to be slim, I want to build muscle and seeing these women have so much strength in their upper body really inspires me. So hell yeah I'm gonna do this till I have money to go to a gym or get a trainer.
SAMEEE but I live too far from the gym so I just work with what I have at home
As a fit man in my 50s, I usually find a woman with a fit physique instantly hot.
Lacking the testosterone, woman find it harder to make muscle. So when a woman keeps going with fitness training in spite of less returns on investment (of effort), this earns my respect.
@@AnoushkaRoy
Yes, grace and flexibility is harder for men.
Me too, i dont like seeing woman skinny and look undernutrition 😅 i want muscles and some amount of fat in the proper part.
r/notlikeothergirls 💀
The moment she did 1 pull-up, she beat half of the earth's population. Btw crazy strength.
much more tant the half !
Really? Just curious.
@@johannfischerteixeira2968 Yeah, Earth's population means we count all birds, animals, insects etc :D :D
fine ill lose the weight and take care of my body
Feels like the person in your profile spoke to me
@@gomathimathavan9447 BAHAHAHAHA
Loool 😂 what a lovely comment
Hahaha love it
Saaameee!
First video I've seen admitting that it takes a long time to archieve these skills properly. Mostly the instructors give the unrelistic impression to expect fast improvements. Thank you for the good advice to enjoy the long process. That will help significantly to make training a habit of its own.
Well said. I‘m a 50+ guy and I started moderate exercise - but every day - a couple of years ago. I followed an online program, started small and worked up. One exercise I absolutely hated was the humble pushup… I can do a decent number of pushups now but it took about a year to really get them flowing. I found building chest muscle to be really hard. Most fitness things seem to require that 6-12 month time frame. But once you got them, it‘s so good.
8-9 months to do a push-up?? Girl that makes me feel so much better .. I feel like so many fitness instructors/trainers make it out to be this quick process when in reality for most people it takes time.. of course it also depends on current fitness level, genetics, etc etc and so for others it may be quick and easy but for the rest of us it takes a while .. thanks for being up front about this !!
Finally a real BEGINNER friendly introduction. Thank you very much. Your story is very impressive!
8 to 9 months thank you I tend to give up because I don’t notice any change but knowing it can take this long is actually really helpful!
Go lift weights in the gym and you'll have results in just couple weeks. Also you can become much more stronger by lifting weights than doing anything else that is not lifting weights.
@@nihilist1680 wrong, ignorant and wrong, even your gym trainers would say this that your body is your weight, you gym buffs are addicted to crutches.
@@nihilist1680 you see results in a couple weeks doing this too. It’s just more difficult to see progress because the progressions aren’t measured with a definitive number and progressing from one exercise to another typically involves a significant load difference (certainly not as simple as adjusting in 5lb increments). So progress appears slow. At the end of the day how quickly you progress depends on how good your routine is and whether you can tailor your routine to reach your goals. Neither method is superior. The only muscle group you really can’t hit effectively without weights is the low back, and legs absolutely benefit from weighted exercise over bodyweight alone. But to say that weights build superior strength is just wrong. Strength is relative. A calisthenics athlete may not be able to win in a deadlifting competition, but the average weightlifter can’t do a muscle up, planche, human flag, or single arm pull-up (not without injuring themselves at least). Its a different kind of strength. Weights tend to build larger muscle groups while calisthenics train the large and small muscle groups (less isolation). I think the perfect exercise routine would include both bodyweight and weighted exercises to get the benefits of both.
@@nihilist1680not everyone has the time and money to go to the gym. Stop diminishing people's way to stsy active.
@@SuperUsername147who would win in a fight
I feel very discouraged when I try various "beginners" exercise videos and I struggle with the basics like dips and pushups. Like I'm not even strong enough to be a beginner? This is a great true starting point for people looking to gain strength and develop their movements
You cannot do push ups on a wall like in 3:28 ?
If dips such as in 9:36 are too challenging, you can try moving your feet closer to the chair.
I'll be honest with you, beginner exercises are brought out to be regular push ups and regular dips when rally "beginner exercises" are always going to be assisted because the exercises have to cater to the people how rarely or never exercise. So all in all font try to push you self to do "Normal" Versions of exercises, Instead make your way up by doing assisted ones. ( PS. there is nothing wrong with doing assisted exercising, if anything it shows devotion )
This was RECOMMENDED to me!!
What are you trying to tell me CZcams?? I can't even do a plank more than 20 seconds!!!
But will I be doing this!??
Absolutely Yes!!
This is my fourth day doing a version of each of these at night. I used to get discouraged because I couldn't keep up with a ton of cardio. This is a great place to start with some added stretching. Thank you for the beginner video!
"Be patient and enjoy the process". Excellent advice for ALL things!!!
This is great! The idea of calisthenics has been flirting with me for years and I've never really done it, and I was looking for an easy beginners' guide with little/no equipment to start exercising again, thanks!
YESSS!!!! Inclined push ups! not knee push ups and thank you for explaining why
Just wanted to say that this begginer push up technique where you go down but could not get up yet properly so you sort of cheat on getting up really works!!! On 1 of Jan I could do 0 push ups and now about 10-12!!! Of course I do other training as well but wanted to thank you for this great idea.😃😃😃
Yesss way to go!!! 🙌🏻💪🏻🙌🏻💪🏻🙌🏻💪🏻
I've been looking at callisthenics as a way to keep fit cheaply and around all my other responsibilities. After thinking about starting for weeks I watched this video and did 8 push ups against the kitchen counter while making a cup of tea! I've started my journey! Thanks Lucy!
Im 28 and a guy who had multiple injuries and a broken hand last year. Ive been doing workouts but I always loved calisthenics. This due to the slow and controlled movements which looks like art. But i always found that the excersises are really hard if you are a beginner. This video gives lots of inspiration and alternative excersises. Amazing!
Really been wanting to start calisthenics but had no idea what to do and have zero strength. This video was so informative and makes me feel like I can start it from stage 0. I also love how you mentioned it can take several months to start seeing results.
This is exactly what I needed to progress my climbing skills! I'm gonna try this on Wednesday
Just came across you and have watched a couple of videos - it’s so nice to have someone show beginnings and progression AND say it’s not gonna happen overnight and that’s OK! Makes me feel better about my slow progress! Thank you!
OMG I JUST WANTED A COMBINED PUSHUP AND PULLUP VIDEO TO START MY FITNESS JOURNEY!!
*me and you sis are fate*
The part that your cat looks at ya priceless
my character in The Sims when I give him the athletic trait:

I see your authenticity, and I feel your vibe. Love the simple, honest, and transparent approach. Thank you. First time here, subscribed.
I'm 26 weeks pregnant with #4 now and I can't wait to join my husband who recently started bw training after I've recovered from my birth.
As a inspired wannabe contortionist who never thought was flexible before being inspired I did most of the moderate excersises from the mix up in her other calisthenics video. Just shows that once you try you really can achieve some pretty impressive goals. Thank you for posting this video now I'm also inspired to add the excersises from your CZcams channel to my workout.
This series is going to be very helpful for starting to learn calisthenics. Thankyou so much 🙏❤️. I'm gonna do this ❤️❤️
Okay, I've watched a couple of your videos and I've decided that it's time for me to start exercising. I'm not young, I'm overweight and I haven't exercised much in awhile but...you've motivated me. Thank you for these videos. :)
Thank you! This is just what I was looking for/need to get started on my fitness journey.
5 mins a day every morning, no excuses, establishing a routine and building on it!
Thanks so much for all the progressions, it makes it accessible and also easier to keep track of progress.
Thanks for existing Lucy, there are very less calisthenics girl contents here ,I'm tired of seeing Chris heria, I'm glad I found you as a girl
Finally a realistic calisthenics video for beginners !!! You've just gained a new subscriber. Greetings from Germany
This is a very informative video. It is truly for beginners. I appreciate the progression exercises. Will embrace the journey and hope for good progress. We have to start somewhere. Cheers from Toronto Canada...and paws up to your kitty.
Been looking for a video like this that explains the correct form when doing these exercises and how to progress :) Thank you!
I love the way you make these workouts so that people who are more advanced can do them along with people who have never done a pushup in their life. I love your channel so much and you're such a beautiful person inside and out. Love you 💖💖💖
I started your program like 2 months ago now I am able to do push-ups and much more feeling confident.
🤭🧡
I love the kitchen bench corner. I also use it for leg raises to work out the abs. For those like me who cant afford the gym, its good to know we can turn our home into a gym. Thanks for all the useful tips, lucy.
I found your video just now even though it’s been posted over a year ago, and I love it so much. I’m excited to get into calinthetics, as I want to work on my core and upper body strength with body weight only before I get into weight lifting. Your video was so well done and you outlined the information perfectly, and in a way that was very encouraging and beginner friendly. Thanks so much !
Just started my cal journey Today! I did ur 15 min beginner loved it. Can’t wait til the summer when I’ve made some gains 💖
I love how to think outside the box. You are so creative for using existing parts of the home/furniture and turn it into a gym. It's great for people who might feel self-conscious about going to the gym. It's also good now since the pandemic is still ongoing. I love it.
Your body is Amazing! And it's so good to see someone with perfect form on the exercises. Great work
The way you speak,the way you teach is amazing.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm interested in starting calisthenics and the "beginner" videos I've seen weren't very beginner friendly. Thank you so much for this!✌💜
Great words. Enjoy the process and have fun!
I can not tell you how much your videos have helped me and even motivated more to keep pushing thru!! Its little things here and there that you have educated me on that I have not been able to learn from anywhere else.. and that's made a tremendous difference in my workout routines and eating habits! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!!
Thanks Lucy, great video. Best wishes for your continued recovery.
I'm 48 and never been athletic and didn't start working out u til in my 40s. I finally enjoyed working out just last year. It took me a year to do push ups and my next goal is to do pull ups. I'm new to calisthenics and I'm very interested so this video is great to learn from the basics.
It's really helpful the way you have labeled sections for each exercise. Thanks for doing that.
Great advice,Lucy.Lot of people think they can do pull ups without training the correct muscles - Back,shoulder,lats,biceps.
Amazing, essencial video lucy! We really need more videos on how to progress: time/tactics/recovering time.
I love how you explain everything. Thank you for this.
It's really hard to explain how much I love Lucy and her videos! Each vid is so helpful and motivating!
No equipment. I like your inventive/creative use of chairs and tables. Subscribed.
Very informative, thank you, Lucy.
Thanks for showing the basics and how you build up. But the best part is using at home items to do the exercises!
This was such a useful video! Thanks 🙏- found the various options around the home very handy and inspiring
Wow you make it look so easy! I've been dipping in and out of getting fitter post baby🙉 my arms are pathetic, so thanks for tips and motivation 💜
Aww thank you! It definitely doesn’t feel that way and there has been many a time (and still is) where I can’t do things!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@lucylismore Natural beauty-all the best girl!
@@lucylismoreYou master everything nicely. I don't have instagram to message you. Can you please link or name the DVD you used to follow for 3 months? I appreciate it❤
@@lucylismore Or can you please let me know how many of each exercises you introduced we should do?
Very helpful to mention your own steps of progression.
Thanks a lot.
thank you for your amazing beginner advice :) until now i have been very unsure how to start out and you made it doable for me!
I did the same exercises, however I modified it to my own needs. Like doing knuckle push-ups (for Range Of Motion), seated rows/lat pulldown/straight arm pulldown (w/ recycled bike tubes), and hindu push-ups (alt for dips).
This was rather helpful. Before I ever joined the gym, I used to practice tricep and chest dips on the edge of my bathtub. I never knew what they were but always loved the feeling of pumped muscles.
I can’t believe this knowledge is all free , what crazy world we live in
Thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for the Details in proper form. I’ve been doing push-ups wrong for a while. And I never thought to use the door for pull-ups.
Thank you for these! It's great having exercises I can do at home, and at beginner levels. Also, shout out to your adorable kitty coach :)
Hehe good spot!!! Thank you xx
This is the first of your videos I watch, I liked it very much, I'm not actually a beginner but I lost motivation during pandemic, and I'm returning to the basics, so thank you very much 😊
Great instructional video. Thank you 💪🏽
Thank you! These are very practical suggestions
Thanks again for being an awesome inspiration for women in calisthenics!
Thank you, I have been waiting on you to do this video. I started followed you because of you amazing transformations and your knowledge in this area. Thank you!!
Aww thank you so much Latrice! Xx
Hi Lucy, thanks for your video, I found it very motivating, and I think it could help many people to approach this movements with no fear to fail .
Hi Ms. Lucy!! I think you're so amazing! I really love this video and you're a really good teacher. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic! You should be very proud. You're an inspiration. Thank you
this is the most informative video about calisthenics i've ever seen! thank you for suggesting such a great variety of options 💙
You have inspired me to take up calisthenics. I have been working on your workouts (beginner) for the last two weeks. I already feel stronger! Thank you!
Hi Alma! So great to see other beginners here, it gives me strength to get beyond the frustration and get pumped up for everyone else and their progress. Keep up and let us all get stronger together!
Best,
Gigi.
@@gisellesoldati3319 Still going strong Giselle and getting stronger every day. I've even surprised myself!
@@janel4582 that’s great to hear! Yesterday I tried the modified pull-up at our gym that just opened up for 5 people at a time (soo hard to work out in a mask, but so grateful), so I didn’t have to worry about falling under my very unstable kitchen table, lol!
@@gisellesoldati3319 Oh you're so lucky! Here in Paris we are again under strict lockdown as of yesterday :-( no gym for me...
@@janel4582 oh no!! 🤦🏻♀️
Our situation just changed in LA, although I am obviously worried about some of our American freedom lovers who walk mask-less in our building hallways, ugh 🤯
I’m originally from Brazil and my family is back in strict lockdown again... stay well, and nice chatting with you! This video will certainly help us all!
and thnx Lucy Ma'am for sharing your skills along with us.. Means a lot!!
Very inspiring! Thank you!
Thank you so much 🙏
I’m 53 and just started exercising again after a 10 year hiatus 😮! So your video is very inspiring to me and your kitten is absolutely adorable 🥰
wow 53!! keep it up !!
love the dips with chairs.. tq
Negatives are a great way to build up strength! That is the "slowing down the eccentric movement" that you mentioned in the video! This is an amazing video! Great job on the production quality!
I've recently got rid of my weights and have been looking for home work outs. Look forward to trying these out soon.
Lucy you are amazing. Your smile and positive energy make my day. Thanks😊
You are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you.
I watched a video from Squat University where they recommended flexing your shoulders first and then engaging in the pull up. It's a good teaching tool! Still love the tips in this video!
I'm excited to try this once I finish with my body goals currently.
I have such weak upper arm strength. I want to be able to do pushups someday!
I am an athlete and calisthenics is a whole new experience for me. I found out that ramps help a lot in doing push ups. Those high ramps and low ramps you do? The ones where you align your body to be a straight line and put most of the body weight to your arms. They helped me to do push ups. I first started by trying to hold the two ramp positions for long as I can and then I started to slowly bend down and come back up in the two ramp positions. It helped me a lot to do it this way. I would recommend to start with the low ramps. In a low ramp you put your elbows on the ground instead of your palms.
Thanks for the video it helped a lot.
This is the perfect video I gave been looking for. Thank you Lucy. Just subscribed. Will update my progress as I move through my days
You explain each movement so clearly! Will try all these. Thanks :)
I just found out about it. I immediately wanted to try it! So far im still struggling with push ups but its already getting better!
Ooof thank you so much for this ❤️!!!
Simple ways & well demonstrated. Thanks
such great use of common house hold structures!! Never woulda thought of this - massive thanks sis :)!
Only yesterday a friend of mine was showing off about his calisthenics skills and damn could the timing be more perfect that I find this video today
Which proves your phone is actively listening to you
Creepy but true
A lot of those exercise I do for 2 years by now too.
For example: For the pushups I am nearly able to do one handed by now
So from my own experience, I can say these exercises are well explained and great to do.
And you can do them anywhere anytime
thank you so much! great beginner video with so many options on progression!!
AMAZING TUTORIAL. Thanks so much! ❤
Thank-you, oh this beginner level is already enough and promess much fun, I'll stick to it the time required, thank-you very much coach
