Reading this title, I was like as the doomer guy myself, "hah nothing achieved this year" and it then clicked in my head that I was actually doing some pushups and squats in my home on consistent basis.
I am very lean guy with my weight usually hanging around the underweight to healthy weight but I've started to develop some belly which is very noticeably to the people around me. So I decided to do some very basic body weight exercises -pushups and squats.
I started with not being able to do 2-3 pushups a day to current personal best of 12 pushups in one go! I have visible enough biceps and triceps now too :P (highlighted as a tldr answer)
I still haven't figured out the right way to go about my calisthenics journey with proper plans and programs, it feels kinda tough to find proper resources for a complete beginner, so if you know a really good resource do share it with me! I'd would've have a calisthenics focused community on lemmy too.
Congratulations and well done dude!!! I've found Hybrid Calisthenics (the app and the YouTube channel) to be a friendly, easy way to build routine and understand what you're doing and why you're doing it when you're exercising. The app can be a little glitchy on my phone but it's just visual glitches.
Thanks dude! :)
I just checked the YouTube channel and wow this is like a goldmine to me! Surprised how this channel never got recommended to me by YT algorithm from how much of calisthenics content I was watching. Will be checking their app too!
