Calisthenics Progressions
HERE TO ACCESS a GUIDE Fundamentals of PROGRESSIVE CALISTHENICS and all the PROGRESSIONS »
We are fans of what is called progressive calisthenics and as Al Kavadlo explains
A key principle of progressive calisthenics is manipulating leverage to vary the intensity of bodyweight exercises. Since there is no way to do a one arm push-up, pistol squat or one arm pull-up without a significant amount of resistance, we instead must practice variations in which the body is positioned in such a way as to create less resistance. As you grow stronger, harder variations can gradually be introduced.
On the based on that, we have created an easy to follow infographics for different progressions. These will show you exactly how to get from easy exercises to very complex ones like one arm pullup, one arm push-up, human flag or muscle up. Explore all the progressive calisthenics exercises here and we will keep on adding them.
Calisthenics Equipment Guide
Click HERE To Access Equipment Guide »
There is not much equipment you need for bodyweight and the idea is that most of the exercises you can do just with bodyweight, but there is still a big choice of pull up bars and other simple pieces which, as you progress, will help you improve your skills. We have put up a simple equipment guide and will be adding things to it as well as reviewing different equipment pieces so you can choose the best. Finally, we are here to help and we would love to hear from you!
Calisthenics Training Programs
NO matter if you are new or an advanced athlete there are some incredible programs which can help you to reach your goals and guide you through the process instead of wasting time and trying to work out everything yourself. Do not get me wrong nothing will substitute hard work but having a coach will make your path much easier and faster.
There are not many comprehensive programs out there teaching you everything from fundamentals of body movements and mental principles to detailed progressions, creating your own workouts and keeping it all up.
We believe The Movement Athlete is The BEST and MOST comprehensive calisthenics training plan out there, Its also the most affordable as instead of buying separate courses like a handstand course for 100 USD or a separate beginner 8 week program (that is not even personalised) they take you on a journey of bodywieght mastery. You can read more about how TMA creates their programs and how they are different from any other program out there here.
You can get started for FREE with their assessment and perosnalised training plan.

See what our users are saying:
“Would you rather have the ability to boast of bench pressing 300 pounds or to do a one-arm pull-up? To me, pulling my entire body up with one arm is much more impressive. – Michael – The Movement Athlete Academy User”
“The Movement Athlete Academy is not the kind of program that demands you to be this physically fit to be able to perform. Instead, it caters to your own strengths and capabilities and keeps track of your progress.”
“Stick with it! It is hard at first, especially if you are stuck on a lower-level, high rep exercise. But persevering is worth it! Finally reaching each goal is so exciting.”
