Ay up, fitness fam! Thought I'd drop a lil guide for any of you fresh faces out there looking to get into calisthenics. It's the perfect type of workout for those of us looking to build strength and flexibility without hitting the gym. So, here we go:
1. Start with the Basics: Start with exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, and planks. They may be simple, but they're mad enough for building strength and endurance.
2. Use Proper Form: Technique is key! If you're doing these exercises with poor form, you risk injury. So, take time to learn and perfect.
3. Progress Gradually: Don't rush into those superhuman feats like human flags and front lever pull-ups. It takes time to build the required strength and skill for these moves.
4. Include Flexibility Training: Flexibility is super important for calisthenics! So, include a good amount of stretching in your routine.
5. Listen to Your Body: This ain't some race, it's a marathon. Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and progress at your own pace.
Remember, every big thing starts small. Stay consistent and apple-pie-order with your training. You'll get there eventually. Good luck, fam!

Been into calisthenics for years, and your guide pretty much nails it down for beginners. Just wanted to emphasize more on the proper form part - totally agree with you on its importance. Screwed up my shoulder once because I was doing pull-ups wrong. To any beginners reading this, please make sure you're doing the exercises correctly, form over speed.
