Calisthenics and animal movements offer a holistic approach to fitness that can benefit individuals of all ages and fitness levels, promoting strength, mobility, flexibility, cardiovascular health, and mental well-being. Incorporating these exercises into your routine can help you achieve a balanced and sustainable approach to fitness and wellness. - Розваги
Not saying there's no benefit to this but the discussion seems pretty unscientific. Calisthenics, the same as every other kind of exercise, will only build muscle if the movements are sufficiently challenging, so if you're already decently strong it will be much harder to build muscle with only your body weight. Getting super jacked isn't everyone's goal so that's fine, but also no type or quantity of exercise will make you lean if you're not also eating the proper amount.
You must have not listened to the video clearly. Maybe you just read the title? I didn't say Calisthenics makes you lean. It gives you a reason to be lean because of relative strength.
And if you're "already strong" there's always a weight vest.
@@Strengthside I did watch it. Your conclusion was that calisthenics and animal movements help you build muscle and stay lean, and that's not inherently wrong. Doing any kind of movement will have some effect on this depending on how challenging it is, but I have beef with any/all promises of weight loss that don't also mention diet, which is the most important part. You can't expect to lose weight by crawling around on the ground (or doing any other kind of movement) if you're also eating seven Big Macs for dinner every day. And if I'm being honest I've got no idea what you mean by "it gives you a reason to be lean".
And sure, as you build muscle you will increase your weight (if you're eating enough) and add challenge to the movement, but it'll take a comparatively massive amount of time to add five pounds of body weight to your pushup than it would to add five pounds in plates to your bench press. So like I said, it'll be much harder and slower to gain muscle only using body weight.
Again I'm not saying that there's nothing useful here, I definitely see the overall health benefit of functional movement that you likely wouldn't get from lifting. Rear delt cable flys or whatever don't have huge practical application in real life lol. But in terms of weight loss and muscle gain specifically there's nothing magical about bodyweight exercise. It's the same exact biological mechanism as weightlifting, just less effective because it's less challenging.
@@aperson9847 your making correct points for sure but you may be missing my point.
I'm not saying there's any inherent "weight loss" built into calisthenics movements.
What I mean by "gives you a reason to be lean" is that if you want to increase your pullups by 5 reps... or develop a muscle up, it gets way more challenging if you pack on 10 lbs.
But if you want to increase your rear delt cable flies or bench press by 10 lbs... it gets much easier if you pack on 10 lbs of bodyweight. no reason to stay lean.
I'm not saying one is better than the other, and to your point... building muscle may be easier by adding weight. But if you like to stay lean... calisthenics give you a better reason to.
It's more of a philosophical point than a "how to lose weight"
Rest assured that if I make a video on losing weight or fat loss... diet will be mentioned.
@@Strengthside Hmm, I guess I see what you're saying. Not sure if I personally am super compelled by it but I guess that's why there are a thousand different "right ways" to stay healthy. Different strokes for different folks, find what works for you, and all that. Thanks for the discussion :)
@@aperson9847 fair play! Also appreciate the discussion. 💪
Great shout out to K Boges. His youtube channel is great. I'd definately recommend everyone jump down that rabbit hole if you haven't already. First try to find the videos where he outlines his overall approach. It's simplified my exercise life 👊
haha yeah, instantly reminded me of him ;)
Same here😂
Yes, Kyle's and this channel are by far the BEST on UA-cam.
Do you have any hesitation in implementing calisthenic training? Are you already training in animal movement exercises? Tell us about your journey below 🤙
My aunt who is a personal trainer put it this way, "the best exercise is the one that you'll do." I think she's right, but now I'm gonna add calisthenics to my own workout schedule. Love the content!
I have 17 fused disks, S1 to C7. Any exercise recommendations or how to adapt some of these exercises? Thanks.
The best approach is consistency and intensity. Also understanding the balance between variation and mastery. Mastering something like calisthenics or bodybuilding is very important, but not skipping movements is also very important. The pushups u do at the start are such a great example. I thought i trained everything considering i train my godamn tibialis starting out not moving and only playing video games. But forgetting my serratus got me costocondritis and unable to fix shoulder pain without knowing the cause (trained my upper back so much). Then i tried training my serratus consistently and voilah everything is so amazing now.
Do you have video reviewing that pull-up apparatus you used in this video, link?
@@abidurrahmanhaque56 ha nice! I had a similar journey with the serratus. That muscle is legendary.
The Strengthside dudes and K Boges are solely responsible for the training protocols that have changed my life the last few months. Can't wait for the inevitable collaboration!
I also like Jett Aaron and Lee Downing Keat - both do minimalist training
These guys have perfect bodies. So rare to see a man today, like them. My father and grandfather were lean and strong, just by working in their whole life. Their grandson is a chubby boy :(
Bodyweight warrior is also one of my favorite when it comes to Bodyweight exercise.
Kyle boges was an eye opener to me. He just changed my whole perspective of exercise and fitness. Good thing i found him when i started my fitness journey. Everyone should give him a try he's genuinely worth it
kboges ❤ I like to see shout outs and camaraderie like this over needless competition, your channels complement each other very well I believe.
absolutely. Love to share what inspires me
I finally feel legitimized for all the “strange” movements I work with for my body. Working with fibromyalgia and trying to reconnect movement with fun and enjoyment instead of feeling overwhelmed with pain, has been my drive.
I’m truly grateful for others to share this knowledge of how to be *fully embodied* a physical freedom, *by being connected to the body* in movement and *fun!*.
I trust in seeing more people practice these moves in the world and that it’s going to continue to invite us to evolve to our relationships to movement and sense of safety within ourselves. Thank you for modeling it!
Sense of safety in ourselves ... love that wording. Thanks!
2:43 POV it's night-time, you're a cat having acraving so quietly going to the kitchen to grab some food.
Animal movement buddies !
You and K Boges have changed my body/mind in the best ways possible! Much love
Thank you for another excellent vid. I believe 100% in your work. Keep it up, please.
The way he did push ups - is the right way - real feel for push-ups the way it should be.
And the animal movements are so fluid, and lithe. Calisthenics through mobility training are sine qua non for functional health.
K Boges is another of my mentors from whom to learn. Grateful to him and Strengthside Brothers for their tutelage.
Thanks brother. Much gratitude to you
This is relieving my 4 bulging discs pain. Great channel! Thanks for all u do. ❤
It's no wonder that the word callisthenics combines the words "beauty" (kállos) and "strength" (sthenos). The physiques that Greek statues have are all from callisthenics and lifting odd objects.
Well technically statues musculature comes from the artists rendering of it. It’s an embellishment
It’s like saying hulks muscles from from a certain type of training, it isn’t, it’s just and artists drawing it like rhat
@@landerval7882 that is true but I'm sure the artists needed a reference for the physiques seeing how statues take a LONG time to make. Even the best artists still need reference, no matter how well you know anatomy.
I needed this video so badly lol. Both of my favorite fitness channels and I’ve been trying to figure out how to combine both simple modalities together.
happy to help :)
I like the format of this video. Great info and writing Josh. Awesome! Enjoying month two of Move Strong Now as well. You guys have changed my well being and mobility in massive ways.
Great to hear it man! enjoy the Frog Stands :)
One of the best equipment free workout
Thanks 🤩
Functional athleticism! Do we lift/exercise to simply build size? If so, there are ways to optimize this. AS I have aged, the key for me is can I do the activities I want to do more easily- ski, swim, surf, hike in mountains, bicycle, tennis, walk the dogs on the beach (in sand), etc. This is what is most important to me now- so I focus on “training” that will best accomplish this. Body weight, calisthenics, heart rate, yoga- these work best for me. LOVE THIS CHANNEL and the wisdom (common sense) you provide. 🙏🏽
Completely agree with you. As the aging process sets in on anyone, function seems to emerge as a prioroty.
Love you guys. Thanks for all your work. 🙏🏽👍🏼
Been watching K Boges and you for a while now. Sick to hear that you guys like him too!
Good video, thanks for sharing
You guys are awesome. Makes so much sense...
Great video, had already started to figure out some of this on my own. Thanks for sharing
It's all self discovery keep it up
One Love!
Always forward, never ever backward!!

Love your videos ❤
I switched to this kind of training during hockey season this year, I found that I was much more athletic on the ice. My workout consisted of dynamic stretching, primal and 10 minute HIIT dumbbell workout. I'm 61 and play with younger players 30-40, so it was a good assessment since I was better able to keep up.
hockey at 61? you're a beast 💪
As I saw the thumbnail I thought of a kboges video. You guys are great
Nice video, its like K Boges style
i just found this channel great content. the 2 dudes look exactly the same to me
This was dope!
I am on the wainting list for the animal movement program. Cant wait to add it to my routine!
nice one man!
Packing on some muscle
Loving this, and considering buying the program. A question though: I have hallux rigidess in one of my big toes. How would one compensate for this? It seems so much is dependent on being able to have full flexion of the toes.
Recognize Kboges the goat, respect ❤️
Very useful information! You got a link for where you got those rubber mats?
Excellent
This feels like the greatest crossover episode because I’ve been watching you guys and k.boges for years and using both styles😂
Wild. Just ordered a calisthenics book. Been doing mainly barbell work lately
a mix of both is potent as well
@@Strengthside fantastic, thanks for the reply
I think Animal/Primal Flow and some functional movements like walking, jumping, rolling,climbing and hanging is really all you need to feel and look amazing. I started AF last year, for me it is difficult because I lack pretty much everything like condition, balance and muscles, am a little overweight and also have poor posture atm so I start with a very short light dance/walking workout 3-5 min, then do my daily 5 min back-training/recovery app and only after that I play around with animal flow and stop if a joint is hurting badly. Oh and I love to do your morning stretches regularly!😍 One question: I never see you doing wrist mobilizations, do you hate them? ☺
Very nice routine! Just because you never see me doing them doesn't mean I haven't done thousands of reps :)
I'm 50 and enjoy weight lifting 3 times a week. Not trying to be a bodybuilder but do it more for health reasons. Being older, recovery is important. Is there a way to incorporate calisthenics/animal movements without sacrificing the weight training?
Really enjoy your videos
I've started doing animal moves it's really fun.
Goals!!!!❤❤❤
I follow you from Saudi Arabia and I hope that we can watch videos demonstrating exercise routines together, with complete sets to follow along, for motivation and inspiration. Thank you🔥🔥
this does indeed look like a K boges style video :D

How would you combine daily calisthenics like kboges evangelizes and animal movements? Curious your perspective on that
I really want ot get into this, but what kind of animal-movement routines could be done in a more confined space? like 2x3 metres for example. I can't seem to get any real flow when doing these at home coz I always end up bumping into walls etc. I'm thinking lots of people would have this problem at home.
Any parks or outdoor areas nearby?
@@K4R3N and you will get on viral video from your neighbors. 😂
Yeah loads of them. But I just want to build up my form and technique indoors, before going outdoors and doing it in the park or on the waterfront. I'm 65 y/0 and still very self concious sadly.@@K4R3N
It's a great question. Crawl Switch is my go-to ua-cam.com/video/X6rk8saEAo8/v-deo.html
Perfect! Just tried it now and it went ok/ so I'll put this in my routine for starters. Thanks dude.@@Strengthside
Awesome
Getting Ocean's 12 vibes from this.
Itd be hard to find ring spaces in Illinois but i still do animal flow Calisthenics and stretching with very little weight training added here and there but i need to get on those rings
Do you have a program that incorporates both mobility and calisthenics for beginners?
What would be your calorie intake/prot doing this kind of exercices?
I literally just downloaded a calisthenics routine last night. I’ve been lifting weights for a long time, but functionally I can’t do an unassisted pull up. And that alone is why I’m moving towards calisthenics. Perfect timing for a video.
A mix of both can be great. I'm confident you'll enjoy the journey
How many days a week should we strength train
Curious as to what shoes you are wearing.
Do both. Barbels are still valuable tool for building strength. Awkward objects are also great.
Sir, please make a basic exercises compilation video to build lean muscular physique . Kindly reply..
Those pull ups are clean. The lat pull down is building the body part, the pull up builds the ability. To me, the muscle up is a better display of strength than a massive bench. Its just different.
What are the shoes you are wearing in this video?
I'd be interested in that too. They look like they could be alternatives to Vivos (which cost a million million...)

Calisthenics, body weight , lots of cycling 60 to 75 km per day zone 2 to 4, hill climbs , rest , recovery..lots of quality sleep if possible, plant based diet for me mostly indian curries and chai
Damn how long does it take you to cicle that long?
there we go!
@@astrocslopes863 2 hrs mod tempo..
I am 20 year old overweight kid, can you tell me how to get started with calisthenics.
Which animal moves like that exactly?
Where did you get this pull-up rack?
is it from KT?
do you hve a calisthenics and animal movements course?

What i always found difficult is to get my legs to grow working out from home. My cardio always gives out way before my leg muscles
Yeah a bit of weight can be optimal for legs but a weight vest and a single leg squat variation can do the trick!
Very good explanation ... Wish I had known this 36 years ago when I entered the military 😂

You could also just dance... a lot.
Professional dancers have amazing physiques and mobility.
No doubt dance is amazing. BUT there's a huge barrier to entry. If it's in the form of "workouts" most people find it way more approachable

it comes all naturally...
For 7 years I did bodybuilding and one day I realized it's an embarrassment to just look good and suck ass at functionality and athleticism. Your vids have really helped me
haha nice. If you can look good AND have functionality... boom holy grail
There’s no such thing as building “lean muscle”. You’re just gaining muscle. You’re in a state of three possibilities when talking about muscle growth: gaining muscle, maintaining muscle or losing muscle.
You gain muscle the fastest with progressive overload.
Exercise based on your body weight has its limits. You’ll only gain to the point where your body has adapted to your current weight. That’s all your muscle will grow to! In order to get bigger you’ll need to add weight to progress.
To be lean you’ll need to do cardio or limit calorie intake.
Right bro❤
you're technically right, but what josh is selling is a combination of strength exercises and movement that when done with a decent diet allow a person to get strong for their bodyweight and not look bulky like a bodybuilder or powerlifter.
What you believe is what you'll achieve my friend.
Animal movements + Calisthenics are a dirty combo
the real title
Because we are animals 😜
being lean has nothing to do with your workout routine. love your channel but I'm so sick of ppl saying cali makes you lean, any form of hypertrophy/resistance training will build lean muscle and appearing lean is in your diet. am i straight up wrong about this? too late im already mad ):
Your missing the point. It's not that calisthenics exercises "make you lean". If you listen to what I say in the video it's that calisthenics movements are based on your "relative strength" In order to become stronger, say increase your pullups from 8-12 or develop your muscle up... you need to stay at a low enough bodyweight to do so. It gives you a reason to stay lean. And that's why most advanced calisthenics athletes are well built with low bodyfat percentage
Center of mass, not gravity. Not quite as pedantic, as you might think. Otherwise, great vid.
probably more accurate but I think both get the point across?
at first I thought your Jesse from ATHLEAN X. but when I see your tattoos I know your not him.
Animal movement a.k.a crawling on the ground in creative ways.
In short: be a calisthenics animal
1st
Always wonderful stuff. But the little video in the corner destroys the nice narrator atmosphere 🥲
