Care to update us on your progress, old chap? X

Ah, thank you! My memory must be a bit fuzzy on that topic 😊

Excelente tips!!! May I ask if you plan to do videos on Primal movements? I have been really interested on that area for long, but find almost nothing on KZfaq . Thanks!

Same here, Lee!

the going until failure part is soo true. i used to do my max pull ups the first set, then it halves then halves again because i used to go until i shake. lately i’ve realised i make better gains playing it safe and keeping gas in the tank because i get to use that gas for my other exercises before my session ends. gj boys

@iSwearToCod precisely that for that reason not going to failure is beneficial, sometimes doing it on your last set every now and then can be good to push your self but it's not a necessarity no.

Super useful benefits for anyone starting out with Calisthenics

When I was in my early 50s I became a certified personal trainer. I taught HIIT workouts. Do not let your age stop you. Please go for it today.

Don’t think age is a barrier. Calisthenics is open to anyone. Just be open minded and take your time to learn and it can unlock true health and fitness. We are here to help you 💪

Thanks for the comments guys 👍🏾

Walking is great cardio.

@@waltercoyle6393 walking is underrated

Glad you liked the video! Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thanks for the “experts” happy to help 💪

Great point and I will be doing pull ups until I do. We should never stop trying to improve 💪

Nice! I should get myself a heavy bag

@@MinusTheGym heavy bag, 10-12 oz gloves and hand wraps. Like with calisthenics form is important to prevent injury.

Use anti slippery yoga mat😎

Sounds awesome and effective

@@LeeDowningKeat tried many different programs but they always felt intimating and my progress was slow then i switched to basic push ups dips pull up rows squats hang leg raises pikes hollow body repeat it everytime and trying to add reps and eventually weight. no fancy bs paid program!

@@tariqashraf5855 it’s like me and Ryan said focus on the fundamentals and be minimalist and you will go far, remember you are not in competition with anyone else. Focus on your and mastering your form. Fitness isn’t a race, be consistent and results will come 🙏

@@LeeDowningKeat best advice thankypu to both of you!

@@tariqashraf5855 any time 🙏

That’s not a question I get often 😆 I would recommend avoiding any *dynamic* exercises that use the muscle group in question. So for example, if someone told me their chest was too big, I’d advise avoiding all variations of push ups, dips and other chest work. Isometric exercises would be fine though. They don’t build muscle as much as dynamic exercises and tend to develop a lean, denser kind of muscle (not bigger). If their thighs were too big, I’d recommend avoiding squatting, lunging and other lower body exercises that target quads and hams. But isometrics like wall sits, glute bridge, etc. would still be fine. In addition, eat a lower protein diet. Focus on *fruits and vegetables* in their raw state. They’re extremely healthy, full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and they give such a small amount of amino acids (protein). A high fruit and vegetable diet is perfect for a lean body with smaller muscle mass. I hope that helps

Oh, btw, stretch! It won’t necessarily make a muscle group smaller, but since there will be less exercise on that muscle group, it’ll be important to keep it from becoming tight if underused.

Yes, I was a late bloomer with calisthenics 😆

Hi there. Well, my first advice would be to clean up your diet. A healthy diet could potentially get rid of the muscle aches, but also it would definitely help with your recovery from workouts when you start. I have a playlist on my channel about nutrition you might want to check out. Once you’re getting the right fuel in your body, my beginner routine is a good place to start with your bodyweight fitness: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l99haMeUl8nanWQ.html

I'm 66 year old. I don't feel quite as springy as I did as a younger person, but I'm way better than most others my age. Exercise is part of the reason for that, but I think diet is even more responsible. When I eat anything made with wheat, such as pasta or pizza, I feel sluggish and the next day I am as achy as a typical 66-year-old. So my number one bit of advice to you is to figure out what causes inflammation is your body. For me, wheat, sugar, and alcohol are the worst culprits.

It’s never too late. You just need to be realistic. If you’re up there in age and your mobility is lacking and have suffered some muscle atrophy, you won’t be jumping into muscle ups and handstands any time soon. You’ll be starting with stretching and developing the basic exercises (push up, pull up, dip, squat, lunge, leg raise, bridging). That might be your first year or more of training, just building that foundation and learning the basics, whereas a young 18 yo would automatically do those in a matter of weeks/months. But I believe it’s never too late for someone to start - it’s simply a different starting point.

Don’t talk about yourself like that! You can do this! I believe in you!

@@Creekmore i appreciate the kind words

Keep it up! There is no such thing as failure, only progress

@@TKZprod thats what i thought but nothings happening
