Τι λέει η αγορά για καλλισθενική

Over 40 or under 40... work smarter, not harder. Check the ego at the door. Unfortunately, it is easier to get older and get injured.

Upper body caught back up earlier than the lower body, which was a little more challenging and prone to micro injury.

Buyer beware. There was no warm up, advanced exercises for a novice and I actually hurt myself attempting it. This is not suitable for complete beginners.

Το κλειδί είναι να μην βιάζεσαι και να ακούς το σώμα σου - το τελευταίο πράγμα που θέλεις είναι να το παρακάνεις και μετά να μείνεις εκτός για μερικούς μήνες περιμένοντας να επουλωθούν οι τραυματισμοί.

I could never stick to a program for more than a couple of weeks — maybe three at most — so I just went into the gym and did whatever I wanted.

I tried the RR a couple of years ago for around 4 months and really enjoyed it but eventually fell out of the habit of working out. Now I feel I must start a routine especially cos I have two babies and I want to be alive and healthy for them.

Many people genuinely want skills like pull-ups, handstands, L-sits, etc., but still quit early — even after weeks or months of effort.

Πρώτη εβδομάδα κάτι γίνεται. Μετά δεν θα βλέπεις ιδιαίτερη διαφορά, θα ξενερώσεις και θα τα παρατήσεις. Και είναι λογικό.

The sessions were short and sweet. It was never boring or taxing so I was consistent.

I have been doing only assisted and negative pull-ups while following a beginners calisthenics program. Am I doing something wrong or do pull-ups require long time?

For almost 2 years, I'm stuck in advanced tuck front lever. I feel like I'm regressing with them. Is the problem my age and I cannot expect to progress?

I thought I would progress a lot faster. I tried working on muscle ups one day and wasn't even close which was very discouraging. I guess I feel like I'm at a standstill.

I found that the programme wasn't helpful to me. Workout was either far too easy or next level too difficult.

Άρχισα να πηγαίνω στο γυμναστήριο από τον Φεβρουάριο. Σχεδόν 3 μήνες δεν βλέπω καθόλου διάφορα στο σώμα μου. Τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες έχω κολλήσει στο ίδιο βάρος στα μηχανήματα.

I'm training calisthenics for 3 years and being on my longest plateau ever. Everybody knows about to be patient with progressions, but it isn't always easy to keep this really in focus.

Απίστευτο! Σε ένα μήνα με έκανε κομμάτια. (με σωστή διατροφή πάντα)

Είμαι στα τέλη των 20 μου και δουλεύω μια συνηθισμένη δουλειά γραφείου 9-5. Σωματικά, δεν κάνω τίποτα απαιτητικό, αλλά πνευματικά νιώθω ντελείως εξαντλημένος. Μέχρι να γυρίσω σπίτι δεν έχω καθόλου θέληση να κάνω τίποτα άλλο εκτός από το να ξαπλώσω στον καναπέ.

Είναι εκτεταμένη ενέργεια με ελάχιστη σωματική κίνηση. Σαν πουλί σε κλουβί που τρελαίνεται.

Το σώμα δεν σχεδιάστηκε για 8 ώρες καθίσματος.

I work 10-12 hours five days a week. I try to fit in the gym, but some days I feel like the only thing I do is work/gym/prep, and I drop it to have moments of relaxation or socialization.

The routine will take over an hour easily and I'm not sure if I will have enough strength and energy to do the whole thing.

Do some people quit because they don't actually know whether they're progressing correctly or just wasting time? Not knowing if they're strong enough to move to the next progression. Conflicting advice about 'just practice' vs 'build more strength first'.

The coaching helped me realize that I had NO IDEA what it really meant to have the necessary core tension for those moves, and I wasn't getting the message from online research.

If you don't know where you're driving to, you can't get to your destination.

Επιτέλους ένα άτομο, που εξηγεί αναλυτικά τι πρέπει να κάνεις για ένα σωστό ξεκίνημα.

Bands are a massively underrated tool... I've seen many people skip building a solid foundation to build onto, moving too quickly & not addressing any foundational issues that can hurt their progress.

Μπορώ να κάνω Calisthenics στην ηλικία μου; Τι εξοπλισμό χρειάζομαι; Πού μπορώ να βρω σοβαρά προγράμματα προπόνησης;

I got scammed once now I trust no one but myself.

Most trainers are awful at teaching in person and even worse online.

Η σημασία που σου δίνουν οι γυμναστές είναι ανάλογη αυτής που έδινες όταν σου έλεγε η μάνα σου να προσέξεις το μικρό σου ξάδερφο.

Beware of trainers. They vary greatly and are not highly trained.

you can get a coach if you want to take the guesswork out since programming is annoying and the coach can figure out your deficiencies better than you can. this is especially useful if you have multiple goals and/or have time constraints.

I'd like to know of anyone who has thought about calisthenics and thought it was too difficult. Also those people who would like to get into it but think that they are too old and their bodies wouldn't handle it.

Is the problem my age and I cannot expect to progress?

Στα 42 μου και αρκετό καιρό ανενεργός είδα το βίντεο σου και ήταν η σπίθα που άναψε μια μικρή για την ώρα φωτιά για να προσπαθήσω να γίνω καλύτερος. Ζορίζομαι αλλά πιστεύω θα πάει καλά.

At age 50 your body has changed significantly — if you have not been exercising regularly you have to take extra precautions to avoid injury and to maximize your results.

I'm not calisthenics-focused but I couldn't do dips or pullups until I was 43. I'm 45 now and good at both. That mental battle gets a lot easier when you become able to do something you haven't done before.

Μισώ το γυμναστήριο. Οπότε πεζοπορία, τρέξιμο, γυμναστική, βάρη και στρώματα στο σπίτι — αυτά είναι τα πράγματα που θα κάνω πραγματικά.

I wanna get to the gym but I seem to have a huge hang up around 'getting naked with strangers' in the locker room. And… Just not knowing wtf to do when I'm there.

Δεν έχω πολύ χρόνο / budget για να ξοδέψω σε ένα γυμναστήριο.

Καλύτερα να κάνεις online coaching. Αξίζει.. είναι πιο φθηνό και έχεις συνεχόμενη επικοινωνία με coach. Θα στέλνεις βίντεο κλπ με πως εκτελείς άσκηση και θα σου εξηγεί αν κάτι πάει λάθος.

It's ok to set goals, but not within a timeframe, you are a beginner, you LITERALLY don't know your body.

Consistency is more important than what you are actually doing. It all works when you are a beginner. All of it.

Ναι αυτό σκέφτομαι επειδή είμαι νούμπας να διαθέσω ένα ποσό για να έχω κάποιον να με καθοδηγεί σωστά να μπουν οι βάσεις.

In the case of fitness coaches, paying for an online coach gets you consolidated information, a plan, accountability, and greater confidence.

Έχω να γυμναστώ πολλά χρόνια.. Βρήκα αυτό το βίντεο και θα προσπαθήσω να ξεκινήσω με αυτά που περιγράφεις.

I started calisthenics in 2015. I was terribly weak and skinny. I had hard times performing wall push-ups, day by day I improved and achieved my first push up. I recall being very happy that day.

Every day now begins with calisthenics and my body feels full of vitality, energy, and strength. BetterMe gave me the push I needed to restart my life.

I have found this program has helped me to take back my health. It has gently and noticeably built core strength and balance, I was surprised that my body could get to that standard without any equipment.

Πολλοί βιάζονται να τρέξουν χωρίς να ξέρουν να περπατάνε.

Time to hire a personal trainer, you're too old for trial and error and you don't have the time. You could possibly hurt yourself if you go in the gym and try benching 315 because you just got off Instagram.
