    I hope you all enjoy this workout if you give it a shot 💪😊 Also, my apologies for the tinny sounding voice-overs on this one. I've been having some issues with my mic and hope to have it fixed by the next video.

      So, when i attempt things like the straight bridge, I get an unnecessary amount of cramping in my triceps, is there any reason for this

    IMPORTANT: Pair with intermittent fasting: eat when you get home and after you work out; from 2 pm to 10 pm, and have water the rest of the time (can substitute black coffee, lemon water, herbal tea for water)
    Things to follow:
    1.) Take deep breath between exercises as break, take 1-2 minute breaks between circuits
    2.) Do 3-5 circuits Mon/Wed/Fri, active rest days in between; jump rope, stretching/mobility, handstand practice)
    3.) Contract (flex) abs, thighs, and glutes
    4.) Make sure to keep breathing
    5.) Don't worry about shaking; its normal
    6.) Eat after all circuits are completed
    7.) EVENTUALLY - start increasing amount of workout days per week, if adding more days is too tough have more than 5 circuits instead
    **After hitting target, move on to next progression and check vid for more progressions
    *WARM UP: 2 minutes jumping jacks
    *COOL DOWN: 2 minutes moving around
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    1st Progression Circuit :
    squat / 7:43 - squats (target: 30 reps)
    push / inclined pushups against punching bag (target: 10 reps)
    pull / 2:23 - short bridge (target: 20+ seconds)
    core / 6:24 - adv. tucked hollow body hold (target: 20+ seconds)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    2nd Progression:
    squat / 7:43 squats (target: 30 reps)
    push / standard pushups (target: 10 reps)
    pull / 2:55 - straight bridge (target: 20+ seconds)
    core / 6:14 - hollow body hold (target: 20+ seconds)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    3rd progression:
    squat / 7:43 squats (target: 30 reps)
    push / diamond pushups (target: 10 reps)
    pull / 3:34 - head bridge (target: 20+ seconds)
    core / 6:28 - hollow body hold (target: 20+ seconds)
    Future Progressions:
    push / diamond push ups, archer push ups
    pull / get a pullup bar 💀

    This is so clear, thorough, easy to understand and organized. Not some random video of "3 best calisthenics moves you can do". It teaches you how to start doing these exercises which is not what a lot of calisthenics UA-cam channels show very clearly. Well done!! Thank you so much!!!

  • @Akshngrrl
    @Akshngrrl 5 років тому +13

    This only takes a few minutes and no equipment so I have no excuse to not do it. It is amazing to me that I can do one or two more reps, or get closer to the bridge, every time I do the circuit. What a great feeling. I am a 42 y.o. mom of 3, not an athlete. So I sincerely thank you!

  • @christheother9088
    @christheother9088 5 років тому +41

    I did heavy bench presses for 15 years and did get some results - but also it was very hard on my shoulders. When I switched over to doing pushups I was startled how my triceps grew (they never did much with the benches). I am totally sold on body weight exercises (when done right).

    Heyyy, first of all, congrats on 1.2 mil on that beginner workout routine! You deserve it so much! Honestly it was the one that got me into calisthenics 1 year ago, and I'm still really greatful for that. Then thank you for this video. After all this time, 'raw' workout are still such an appeal to me. Thank you and congrats!!

    I really appreciate this video! I love that you give us variations of each exercise to fit out level of fitness. It's really a huge help! I honestly thought this would be so easy but its SO NOT. I'm really a true bigger and this is a great routine to build the foundation muscles I need to do so many other exercises. Thank you!

  • @jordi_p3791
    @jordi_p3791 4 роки тому +5

    Trust me guys, you really need to get that pull up bar. I started exercising with no equipment, and now I really regret not getting a pull up bar earlier. I have advanced on everything but pull exercises. Now i find myself being completely begginner on pull ups (after some workoutes I've managed to do 1 finally!) while I'm on a much more advanced level on push ups or core.

  • @JeffMaddox
    @JeffMaddox 5 років тому +6

    Just started following your page. I've been working out for roughly 5 months but in the past three weeks have really developed a desire to do calisthenics so I'm paying close attention to your page so I can learn.
    I thought I was in decent shape but I did your beginners workout today to get a baseline and it kicked my ass. I have decent strength but lack serious volume and endurance. So I'm going to stick with your workout plan and see what it can do for me. You've also inspired me to buy my own workout equipment so I can do my workouts at home as I gear up to start graduate school. So I watched your equipment recommendations video, too.
    One suggestion: You said on off days we can do stretching, yoga, etc. Could you provide some stretching routines we could do? I have mild scoliosis so stretching is really important for me. Thanks in advance and keep uploading quality content!

    • @MinusTheGym

    @DaydreamBeliever1997 4 роки тому +4

    Thank you for this very informative video! With my gym being closed i didn't want to splash out on buying expensive equipment for home use so i thought calisthenics would be a safe option. I haven't found any information as helpful for beginners such as yours and i also liked that you provided an alternative to pull ups. I'm not yet strong enough to do an unassisted pull up so hopefully the bridge progression will aid me in achieving this.

    @ShawnaRN 3 роки тому +1

    This is the exact video I have been looking for. I am quite deconditioned, and didn't want to invest in a pull up bar right away, wanted to be able to comparison shop for the best one. I knew I had some time, but this routine will get me ready for when I decide I'm one. I could find progressions for all the other exercises, and progressions for pull ups with a bar and with band assist, but the bridge sequence was what my current routine is really missing. Thank you!

    • @ShawnaRN
      @ShawnaRN 3 роки тому +1

    Hi Minus The Gym, Thanks for the in-depth tutorial. I find it much more comprehensive than most other youtubers who put up videos.
    I would love if you could answer a few questions for me regarding the routine.
    I am quite a skinny guy with almost no experience with regular exercise so :
    a) How should up space out my routines to gain most weight ?
    b) How many reps should I stick to to gain weight as well as build muscle mass ?
    c) How do I work on improving flexibility and static holds on off days ? ( if you could point me in the direction of a video outlining this I'd love to watch )
    Thank you once again!

    a little intermix with your video about "not counting reps" (I'm a total beginner!):
    squats 90sec
    pushups 30 sec
    bridge 20sec
    hollow body 20sec
    pause 120sec
    It felt weird counting reps and than "counting" time.
    Now a it feels I have plenty of time to do the squats and pushups and doing as right as I'm able AND to know there is bell ringing (which is releasing me from the terror 😅)

    I wanted to say thank you for your original video on this as I used it to start working out more and got my 12 year old son involved as well. The dip station I got is am amazing and versatile piece or equipment. I also started tracking my workouts on a UA-cam channel I started and just hit my 50th video. Thanks again!

    So glad I found this clip. I've been doing a bit of weight lifting but I lately moved and I'm so far from a gym and it is getting quite costly to go to and fro to the one place I can afford. I'm going to use this routine starting tonight and see where it goes. Hopefully I can go through this week without having to go to town :-D No excuses!
