How to Start Calisthenics from Zero

Most people who want to start calisthenics make the same mistake: they try to do everything at once.

Handstands. Muscle-ups. Front levers. Planche. Flows. They build a 2-hour program filled with advanced skills, only to burn out in a week.

Here’s the hidden truth: simple scales beat complex plans every time.

All you need is to work on the foundations and that will help with everything you want to achieve.

There are NO masters without the basics.

Your real “Day 1” is about mastering control of your own body with basics.

That would Be:

1 Push (push up, dips or pike push ups)

1 Pull (pull ups, inverted rows)

1 Squat/Hinge (Squat, Glute Bridge, Nordic Curl or Sissy Squat)

1 Core (Hollow Body or Leg Raises)

That's it, there is your workout.

Do as many as possible 1 after the other, takes about 5 minutes. Now you have no excuse that there is no time to get your workout in.

These aren’t “beginner” moves, they’re the foundation athletes never stop training. The only different is they get harder progressions or more focused on their goals.

Consistency is the real breakthrough.

One minute of hollow hold every day builds more momentum than a 3-hour grind once a week. Micro-wins like holding a crow pose, or kicking up to the wall for 3 seconds, stack up faster than you think.

That’s why in the Masterbook we give you all the skill timelines and the progressions for all the biggest movement patterns.

Start smaller. Build momentum. Celebrate every rep of progress.
