I want to start adding mobility and I don’t know what to do exactly.like should I do animal movements or certain stretches or movements like what do I do in my rest days.please help by telling me certain drills or movements to do.

Hi everyone. I'm a teen based in the UK who is completely new to calisthenics. I'm looking to improve my mobility and strength and learn some cool tricks while doing so!

Hi my name is jody and I’m excited to learn calisthenics with you all

Do you want your first push-up… or do you already have push-ups and wonder if doing 100 a day actually helps? Let’s break down the push-up properly — what it’s for, how to progress it, and how it leads to advanced calisthenics skills like the planche. 💪 Why Push-Ups Matter in Calisthenics Push-ups train your horizontal push, which hits: Chest Shoulders Triceps Without push-ups, your upper body strength is incomplete. It’s also one of the hardest muscle groups to train without weights, which makes push-ups essential in calisthenics. 👣 How to Get Your FIRST Push-Up The goal is simple: 👉 Start with the easiest version you can do 👉 Gradually make it harder If you can’t do a push-up yet, start with height: Wall push-ups Bench / table push-ups Lower and lower until closer to the ground Once low: Knee push-ups ⚠️ Important step most people skip: After knee push-ups, do negative push-ups Lower slowly → go back up on your knees This bridges the gap to your first full push-up. ⬆️ How to Make Push-Ups HARDER Once regular push-ups are solid: Feet elevated push-ups Diamond push-ups Archer push-ups One-arm negatives → one-arm push-ups 💡 Skip flashy explosive push-ups They’re harder on wrists and not necessary for strength. 📊 How to Progress Push-Ups (The Smart Way) Train push-ups like a bench press. Choose a version where you can do: 👉 6–30 reps to failure That counts as a working set. When it gets too easy: Make the variation harder Not more reps forever This range builds strength and muscle efficiently. 🤔 Should You Do 100 Push-Ups a Day? Only for two reasons: 1️⃣ You want to get really good at push-ups Specific skill = specific practice 2️⃣ Mental challenge & consistency Doing something hard daily builds discipline and momentum 🚫 It’s NOT required for strength or skill progression. 🔁 Quick Summary Start high → go lower Use knee + negatives before full push-ups Progress difficulty, not just reps Train to failure (6–30 reps) 100/day is optional, not mandatory
