In this video I explain 3 beginner calisthenics skills that everyone should pursue as soon as they start. Calisthenics skill training is when you branch out beyond the basic calisthenics exercises (push ups, pull ups, dips, squats, lunges) and start learning unique movements that require frequent practice.
The 3 skills I recommend in this video are the frog stand, tucked front lever and L-sit. These skill are great for beginner training. If you've been following my channel and seen my beginner calisthenics workout routine, you know I recommend having "active rest days" on the days you don't do the circuits. Well, these skills are perfect to practice on those active rest days.

Parallettes: amzn.to/2LPtTRg
Pull-Up Bar: amzn.to/2COAnN8
Fitness Bands: amzn.to/2RvUVSS
Also note that each of the 3 skills work different scapular movements: frogstand - protraction, tucked front lever - retraction, L-sit - depression. Since these are all using different movements of the shoulder girdle, you can work them all in the same routine without one affecting the progress of another too much. See? There's a method to my madness :)

I'm learning calisthenics because I want to get stronger by improving my control over my body. For whatever primal reason, I find handstand pushups and muscles ups a bajillion times more impressive than lifting heavy metal.
Majin Emsi same here 😁 They're WAY more impressive. The instant you see someone do a handstand push up or human flag, you know they trained *hard* for it. There's no "fake it til you make it" with these skills.
@@MinusTheGym Agreed!
I totally agree, it Definately takes some skills to do all the different exercises id's pretty much unlimited because we move all the time. Mastering body weight is way more badass than pushing metal
I'm learning calisthenics bc I want to fuck like Johnny Sins
@@MinusTheGym there's no "fake it til you make it" on a 600lb deadlift either
This guy is such a legend
He’s not only a:
Doctor
Massage dude
Astronaut
Personal trainer
Gardener
Therapist
He is also a calisthenics athlete wow!
And Johnny Sins
But not calisthenics athlete
Dude is also a very "gifted" adult performer..... Ask yer mom.
Johnny Sins does calisthenics?!?!
Holyyyy 2.3k since last year! haha I love it thanks guys !
Novi K 😂 best part is? Johnny Sins really does do calisthenics. I saw it on his vlog.
😂😂😂😂😂
While watching the video I was like "man, bet someone is gonna comment saying that he looks like Johnny Sins" and here we are 😂😂
@@MinusTheGym are you sure it was a vlog? Maybe it was a roleplay as fitness mentor(!)?
i scroll down to type this exact same comment and Novi K beat me to it. We are all truly one
Thank you Johnny Sins

My philosophy is that your muscles should be able to handle your body weight in different positions (including the difficult ones) effortlessly. That's their ultimate goal.
maltese on ring, like van gelder... thats the ultimate goal. ✊✊✊
Wow you came up with that all by yourself?
Technically.. having muscle is bad, because your body has to work more to maintain them, so if you want to talk about the most efficient people and how they would look like, in my opinion it would be long distance runners because not only do they have little muscle for their body to support, they have an extremely strong cardiovascular system that will carry into senior years
@@haroldhaynes4002 you need to workout and develop muscles so they dont bresk down as you age.. things like grip strength and core strength will last a lifetime and prevent many issues that come with old age. It is not difficult to maintain muscles body builders loose mass because they dont eat crazy amounts but there muscles still exist as long as they continue to stay active you dont have to lift weight even bar work like calethnics is fine and enough stimulus to maintain muscles besides eating a balanced nutrition
Exactly my opinion , expect that it is Impossible to do most holds with any part of the body
U really look like that astronaut guy from brazzer
😂
Really Man😂
Someone has spent to much time on pornhub...
And plumber guy
And the broker
And the banker
And the neighbourhood
And many many more things that u can't become
@Destro If you know the names of the male actors in porn... I got some bad news for you :)
0:02 seconds into the video and I ran straight to the comment section 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lo and behold I got what I expected, Johnny sins comments
Same man 😂😂😂
I am your 69 th like yeet
Lamao same dude 🤣🤣
Same here...😂😂
lmaoo same 😂😂😂😂
Isn't this guy a doctor or astronaut or smthn? looks familiar
U mean like Jonny sinns.. ;)
he is all of them. He is a genius. I heard because of that all women are attracted to him
Nope dude he is a mechanic, doctor, astrounaught, cop, firefighter, nurse, and a teacher, he served for his home and I thank him for his service🙏💯
Yh also a cop , step dad and teacher😂
He is the brother from ur brother
1)Frogstand
2) tucked front lever
3) L sit
👍Hit like for this video
I started learning L sit the day before yesterday, and today I got it
@@TheLovelyEnigma how strong are you?
@@TheLovelyEnigma L sit is easy bro but keep it up
@@xanderlimanikum1943 l sit's easy if u are not overweight

I guess he has very clear speech

I'm one of the beginner new subscribers, and I can say your didactic is just perfect for the one's getting into calisthenics
I would like to learn calisthenics to get in shape after losing 55Lbs. I like the fact that calisthenics turns fitness into an art form that is a lot more interesting than just lifting weights. Love this channel. Keep up the great work.
Aman Inavan thanks! And I totally agree about it being an art form. That's why it's so fun :)
Frogstand is really quite a difficult exercise when first starting out. But I think the coolest part is not only when you get it down, but when you are first able transition from frog stand to hand stand. It's so cool. It's like a 'WOW' moment that you've never done before.
It's weird. I can do a headstand, no problem, but I can only do a shaky frog stand for like 2 seconds... and my wrists😅 owww.... so I'm working backwards now to master my frogstand this week
some wrist warmups may help to loosen them up. I usually do them before each session :)@@jeanninecharles8284
Great video! Well explained! Working out at home is really great, is what I do for a long time now, and I just love it!
I am now just 50, generally fit and getting into calisthenics. I do it to build strength and as an additional bonus you get to do the cool skills. I started learning the handstand 6 months ago and not there yet! Just built enough strength to do wall walks. Definitely in for the long haul.
Nilesh Shah nice! If you're doing wall walks you're getting close. Those aren't an easy exercise by any means. Soon will be freestanding kick ups. The fun part :)
Keep at it brother. It takes time and working against a wall I found to be very helpful.
Keep going I’m impressed :) YOU CAN DO IT
Great video - love the insight on progressions
Even the title of this channel is "right on"! Good stuff, man! Basic but effective. I always enjoyed using my own body weight for working out. Thanks for sharing.
Me:Does frogstand
Also me:Kisses the floor directly
similar thing happened to me trying to do a double clap push up😂🤦🏾♂️
Me doing an elbow lever
🤣😂😂
Great video, short, to the point and very well explained, thank you!!
Thanks for the video! I like that you bring in these three base moves!
I just came across your channel yesterday and I found some pretty good and informative videos. What I like about you is that you are a minimalist athlete and you keep things simple and natural which any one can relate to. It feels more comfortable that way. Hope you grow and keep uploading more good contents!
I'm 17 and I'm starting calisthenics (complete begginer) because :
1) I'm underweight and want to improve my physic and get stronger.
2) I want to master my body and the skills.
Damn now this guy teaches calisthenics
Excellent content, thank you for this stuff
Great video, thanks for creating.
I could say that I am begginer and my main focus(for now) is to build strenght with basics(push ups, pull ups...) This type of videos is awesome because you show us all step by step.. Please continue with it, its really great 😀😀
pro tip: one horizontal pull, one horizontal push, one vertical pull, oe vertical push. Do them in pairs 5-8 reps in 3-6sets 90 sec break between each. When you can perform 3x8reps of each excersise move with progression to new harder excersise. Warmup -> skill -> strength - > mobility.
I’m a 57 year old woman, former US Marine, who is looking to regain my former strength and agility.
Wow ... Good luck Mam

Thank you for your service
Marine... So you are against luffy and his crew members
@@BeLikeAngel no. They pretty much go after other peoples oil reserves and kill them for it.
Thanks so much for your straightforward and helpful videos! I'm ready to put in some work! Cheers!
So happy I found your channel! Can't wait to put these exercises into practice :) Thank you!
I'm pursuing calisthenics because I want to look good feel good, and I can do it anywhere in the world for free. I really have enjoyed it and I like that it's not entirely main stream.
I really appreciate ur channel, I'm 25, been doing calisthenics for 8 months now, lost a ton of weight and made great progress, but the truth is I am still a beginner! People should know that every exercise has its own little secrets that sometimes take weeks of trying to discover (trust me you can screw up even a body-row, if your out there on your own), and require rewatching videos multiple times. More often then not, I think im doing an Exercise right, I fail, and upon rewatching the videos, I discover I performed pretty poorly. You simply cant progress to a full L-sit hold in a couple of weeks, taking mistakes and misinterpretation into account. the basics can not be studied enough! so please keep making "entry Level" videos!
Jonathan Aldenberg great feedback. Thanks! And yes, I totally agree. The basics for building a solid foundation are glazed over by too many other channels. I'm glad my entry level videos help. I'll make more.
You're spot on Jon. I'm 38 and have been doing calesthenics for about 15 months now - and I'm still a beginner (late I hope)! I believe there's entry level, middle, and late beginner stages - same for intermediate and advanced. Just keep at it with consistency.
I'm six months into calisthenics and I feel I still cannot call myself a beginner. I do impress myself already according to what I actually could do on day one comparing to present state.
@@coczwarty can you see some results with 3 months training calisthenics?
@@DarkChess01 yes, beginner gains it's called. When I started I could do 1 dip, 0 pullups, 6 pushups. After 3 months I could do 8 dips, 4 pullups and 8 pushups. Now it's slower. I'm around 12 dips, 8 pullups & 15 pushups but I train more often but not really since my boy wants to be a football player has team exams in a month and decided to come with me train in the mornings so I train him and do few pullups or just play with the bar from time to time when he does some excercise for few minutes. It's fun though spend time with your kid so I guess in a month I will get back to regular training.
Thanks for the video! Just starting out, trying to get stronger.
Thank you for your videos. I’ve been looking non-stop for videos and information from everyone who preforms calisthenics and it seems I always find my way back to your videos. You cover so much!! Thanks for taking the time to do this!!!
Beginner here. Love your Channel. Part of the reason is because what you talk about is just so approachable at my skill level.
I was watching Chris Heria's Channel and its inspirational, but his beginners videos seem intermediate or advanced even.
So to me, your beginners oriented vids are gold. Thank you. Just ordered my dip station and parallettes last week.
I'm 39 5'11" and 170lbs. Eating clean. I want calesthetics to be part of my permanent everyday lifestyle so I'm not frail at 80 years of age. After the physique in the meantime.
Stable Stoic nice! Glad you found my channel :) And I agree on Chris Heria. He's so good at calisthenics that he seems to have forgotten where most people begin. I hope my vids help you on your journey 💪
I’m an old vet trying to get back in shape. I’ve been on the couch too long.
Diwanoo Minfyr Nice! These skills will help get you there, for sure.
Same, brother. Lol. Very much the same.
Same here. I was embarrassed to find out I couldn't even do a pull-up anymore... been working on that and some other exercises.
you can learn l-sit or a modified dragon press without even leaving the couch ^^ might need some blocks for support, depending on your couch :')
Thank you for your service
Thank you very much. Very helpful.
Great! Thank you
Great video, I'm learning because I want to be strong without a gym :)
1:23 Frog Stand Hold
-beginner progression for handstand
2:59 Tuck Front Lever
- Beginner Progression for front lever
-Pull-up/dip station needed
5:02 L-Sit
-Easier with paralettes
-Tuck legs to make it easier
Thank you!
Thank you for your videos - great content and delivery. I've just discovered calisthenics and learning the basics with your help. Much appreciated, thank you.
excellent video! thanks for sharing !
I was drawn to your channel initially as a way to develop muscle mass. I am hoping to build muscle mass as a way of putting money in the bank for when that time comes when I start to lose mass due to aging. As I approach retirement (just turned 63) I want to have the strength to do work on my house and land. Your willingness to have lessons that really are for beginners is very appealing. I like, your willingness to talk about exercises you had difficulty mastering. That is motivating for me. If I have trouble learning something new I will know that this just part of the routine.
Andre Fleuriel Calisthenics is perfect for your goals. It's pure functional fitness, so you'l be able to get around and do all that work on your house without a problem. And thanks for the valuable feedback :) It's good to hear that my honesty is appreciated. Some of these exercises took me months to learn. And others, like the handstand, feel like a never-ending journey. But that's why it's so fun :)
My father is doing the same though he is kinda older. I promised to help him train once i return to my country in 4 months. Good luck on ur journey mr. Andre!
Can you do a video about rest days stretching routine for beginners ?
Great video, I'm new to Calisthenics,I like the way you explain the muscles involved and what the basic move can progress to. I like even the basic broken down as some people can have difficulty even doing them and it helps to understand an approximate time for developing that technique. I'm learning Calisthenics for a number of reason, to get in shape, learn body control, improve my, physique , and it's cool. Great work.
Fantastic. Perusing calisthenics for skills and fitness. This helps very much! Thanks for this! Subscribed!
I'm just beginning my calisthenics journey as my 7 year old daughter is right into it and thought why not join her. Also want to have that control over my body and to build my strength.
you need to show her that the one that can do the most pullups, makes the rules
This man is awesome
-he is the white Saitama (one punch man)
-Johnny sins
-Gem among bald men
Very good video, thank you!
This was really helpful, thank you!
I’m a bit long in the tooth. So, I don’t want to rust or turn into the tin man! :) I appreciate your thoughtful approach.
I want to learn new skills for both reasons
Thanks a bunch for this video!
Thanks for the upload for the beginners!
Lol everyone tryna get stronger or better physiche (idk how to spell) I just wanna learn it cuz it looks super fun
i funking knew what the comments were about xD
Great starter vid. I just found your channel tonight and really appreciate it. These 3 skills are all great starters that I will be working on nightly.
Really love your channel
Thanks so much !!
I’m looking to improve my physique, endurance and overall fitness.
I have a dip and pull-up bar tower and just now bought some parallettes bars.
Thanks again !
More with no equipment please. We will be on the road for the next 3 mo.
Hello there ! Thanks for the beginner guide. I'm a 35yo guy and i want to have control over my body so i can move it in the way i want whenever i want.
My first step was to lose weight : lost 16Kg while doing cardio training and controling my food calories and macronutriments in 4 months. Now i want to grow muscle, control and flexibility. I guess i will follow your beginner guide routine.
What do you think about beginner routine 3-4 times a week and during the "rest" day working on frog ?
Romain Gama congrats on losing the 16Kg! That's awesome :) Yes, the beginner routine will help with your goals. And your plan is perfect. Do the circuits from my beginner routine video 3x a week for starters (you can increase the frequency to 4x if you want) and work on frog on the active rest days. On those days, aside from skills, try to get out and move too. Go for a walk, ride a bike, etc.
Thank you, nice video, good info!
Really nice explanation and everything! Good job man
Helpful instruction.
Well explained.
Thanks.
I've been training 40 years, mostly in gyms, using weights.
Although it's not time entirely wasted, I wish I'd been introduced to calisthenics and rings, 40 years ago!
Free training, convenient and effective, anywhere.
Question: Should I exercise if my muscles are sore? sometimes I have soreness for more than 3 days. sometimes for 4 days. especially when I start a harder program or increase my reps.
Dave Raspberry When my muscles get sore I rest them as long as I need till they recover. While they are repairing just target other muscles and do exercises that don’t impact your resting muscles. I had so much planned but I’m a beginner and as soon as I did that first day I knew my plan was too much. Progression is best way to tackle it. You will get there slowly but if you expect too much you will only disappoint and de motivate yourself from doing any of it. Hope this helps at all. I’m only a beginner no professional advice but just my own take seeing as you’ve got no response yet.
@@ewilko7423 I agree!
Not! I don't do that. I keep pushing through it anyways it's great because your body gets used that pain while practicing and overtime it's nothing. Trust me I have done it and everybody loves watching me for a few hours: some people ask me "how could you not even exhaust without taking a day off" then I was like nah it's nothing I used to crazy than this so it's great don't take a rest unless you got injury that's the time to day off. Peace!❤️
Good vid. I’ve been doing calisthenics for quite sometime but I did not have any skills. Now I will focus on the the front lever tuck, frog stand & L-sit.
Gonna subscribe soon. Great video!
I'm an old guy (65) and am taking steps to reclaim some strength and conditioning. I am skeptical of the fitness gym craze populated by Lycra-clad youngsters offering package advice to vain or guilty-minded hopefuls whose most fervent ambition is to be noticed. Calisthenics looks promising, especially since it can be done without the expensive paraphernalia. I think the kettle-bell swing is, perhaps, the most effective exercise I do, these days but would appreciate any videos you might make for seniors like me.
Patrick Tyr-Egge Calisthenics is indeed promising :) I feel that it's the fitness we're most meant to do. And thanks for that suggestion. Sounds like an awesome video idea. I'll add it to the list!
I hear ya.
@@MinusTheGym I'll add my voice here. Turning 61 next month, but don't feel "old" & have been doing variations on calisthenics exercises for several years. Have lost 17 lbs since Oct. 2018 with more body weight exercises and intermittent fasting. Still a ways to go but definitely enjoy these exercises more than barbells and dumbbells. Really enjoyed this no-nonsense beginner's video!
4:48 "we're gonna be working on scapular depression"
HA! jokes on you, I'm already a MASTER in depression
Oh! Self burn those are rare
this was the most calm, well explained video about calisthenics...dope. ima subscribe.
Not only does he look like my childhood hero (Johnny Sins), he also talks very calmly just like him :)
I googled Johnny Sins.... I can only assume that you guys have excellent grip strength.
Pro tip, don't google Johnny Sins. Just learned that one.
Super video. Helpful and insightful
Another sub because your beginner videos are awesome. Great work put in. Thanks! Look forward to watching more.
He looks like Johnny sins 😂
Edit: actually him 😂😂😂
I'm old trying to get young ;)
Man where have you been! These types of videos are what I have been trying to find. Simple walk through of the first few calisthenic moves. Great stuff dude. You got a sub here brother. 😉
This video is a gem. Thanks for sharing!
I'm 13 and I've been doing calisthenics for 3 weeks now
I wish you good luck. I am 22 and i started month ago. I do stretching and calisthenics.
I'm 17, I'm between both haha
"Do you lift, bro?"
"Sorta."
Brilliant video! Thank you.
The best explanations I've come across so far. Just starting out.. Good videos. Subbed.
Your frogstand technique hurt too much my triceps. I put my legs over the arms and it's better
Saitama is that you?
Oh wow this is helpful
Thanks.
Salute johnny🙌🏻 this was helpful

At first I thought this was Johnny Sins...
