I formally challenge anyone willing to join in to keep pace with me for the next 30 days as we crush some fundamental strength building excercises. I'll be posting 5 seprate 30 day schedules for people brand new to fitness all the way to high level calisthenics athletes and I want to see that can do mindset from every last person I can get on board.

We'll be doing 3 days on with an optional rest day/ cardio day on the fourth day. Including some seriously high intensity training for your heart and lungs.

And remember the hard part is getting started. After that it's easy.

Fight On!

Back to fundamentals,

I've been finding myself failing to progress lately, and the greatest lesson you can possibly teach yourself is when to go back to basics.

Mastering basic moves like pushups, squats, deadlifts, pullups, dips, and rows, is not only a great way to start, but it engages all the muscle groups that are fundamental to complete body strength and ballance.

when you're trying to master a new move failure is commonly not because you lack balance or skill, but rather the base level of strength your body has is below what you need for the move. Add weight, try new variations of the basics, and keep it consistent.

Want to build that strength up but the basics are easy, strap 30lbs on and try and hit 100 reps on each excercise and then tell me the basics don't do anything for you

FIGHT ON!

A place to start.

Everyone needs a place to start. Pushups, situps, squats, and pullups. That's where I started. There are lots of good excercises out there to help you start repairing your minds connection to your body. But these four are the greatest place to start. I found it helpful to download an app of some kind that gives you progressions, and a time frame. ( I use the zen series on the play store they have rep number, progressions, and a timer between sets, it's incredibly helpful ) but the most important thing to tell yourself every single day, is that everyone starts at zero, and you are happy with your progress no matter how small. progressing to a master level takes years, I've been doing these excercises for a very long time and I still max out at 50 pushups, and my pullup numbers are still extremely low. Failing after one or two reps when you start is perfectly natural and is nothing to be ashamed of, if its too hard try an easier progression, if it hurts your joints find an excercise that doesn't. The only time you should ever feel shame is if you give up entirely. If you need a day off, take it. If you can't finish that last rep it's okay. As an amazing and wholesome calisthenics trainer once said "fitness is a lifelong journey not a single destination"
