Calisthenics Basics Plan

The aim of the Plan is to provide you with all the necessary knowledge about the basic principles of Calisthenics and Bodyweight training (training with your own body weight). In recent years we have noticed that most beginners lack the necessary knowledge about various basic exercises and the correct form, technique, and execution.

We’ve also seen that most people want to move forward too quickly when the basics aren’t there yet, which ultimately leads to frustration, less progress, and injuries. We want to prevent this by providing you all the necessary knowledge so that you can start with Calisthenics in a safe, responsible, and effective way.

• You understand all the basic exercises and know how to perform them with the correct form and technique.
• You know exactly how to adjust the difficulty of each exercise with different progressions and regressions. In this way, you can make the exercise easier or more difficult.
• You avoid beginner mistakes and understand the important aspects of each exercise which will improve your progress and reduce the risk of pain and injuries.
• You know how to use training equipment and different tools such as resistance bands so that you can use them safely and effectively during your workouts.
• You understand how to apply the Workout Plan effectively and you will discover which training routine gives you the most optimal results.
• You understand how to challenge yourself with logs by tracking your progress. You will love exercising because it will be fun and challenging.
• You will create muscle mass, get stronger, and lose unnecessary body fat in a safe way and at your own level.
• After completing the theory exam you will receive an official CALIFAM Certificate which proves your knowledge about Calisthenics.

We understand it could be a big step for you … But don’t worry: Calisthenics is suitable for everyone: total beginners, advanced, men, women, old and young. Thanks to the clear instructional videos, step-by-step training methods, and personal coaching, Calisthenics is accessible for every level.

The fact that you train with your own body weight makes it a very safe, responsible, and accessible way to exercise at almost any age and level. Didn’t you exercise before, but do you want to get fitter? That’s no problem at all. You don’t need to be able to do push-ups, pull-ups, squats, or similar exercises before starting with the Calisthenics Basics Course.

You will succeed without a doubt. Do you need help during your Calisthenics Journey? No worries! We are always ready to help you as you can read in the next question.

​If you start with Calisthenics Basics, coaching is included. Our aim is to help you to achieve your goals. How does it work?

• Your email address will be added to our exclusive member list. This means that we answer your questions within 48 hours on working days. Questions can be about anything, eg: specific exercises, replacement exercises for injuries, training routines, etc.
• Send us videos of specific exercises you are performing. We give you personal feedback. In this way, you make faster progress because you can improve your technique immediately.

Sure! Some people think that it is not possible to build a lot of muscle mass by exercising with your own body weight, but that is completely wrong! You can build muscle mass with Calisthenics and create an athletic body. We have been doing Calisthenics for many years (and no more weightlifting) and are still muscular. Right😉?

The program consists of 3 Full Body Workouts. We recommend you to train 3 times a week with approximately 48 hours of rest. Would you rather train more or less? No problem! You have the freedom to follow the course at your own pace. You can keep track of your progress with the logs.

Definitely! With the Basics Plan, you will learn everything about the correct technique and form, down to the smallest details, but you will also learn a lot about Calisthenics itself and the movement patterns in general. After completing this course, you will make faster progress with your Calisthenics Journey as you will recognize common mistakes and learn how to follow a workout routine effectively.

In addition, the Workout Plan of the Basics Course is focused on building strength and muscle mass which will make you stronger in general. This allows you to perform Calisthenics Skills a lot better.

The Calisthenics Basics Plan is a course platform where you get access to all the knowledge and tools to learn how to apply the basic exercises of Calisthenics in a safe and effective way. The Full Journey focuses more on learning Calisthenics Skills such as the Handstand and Human Flag. You will find the basic exercises of the Calisthenics Basics Plan also in all our other programs such as the Full Journey.

In order to make faster progress with the skills and to reduce the risk of injuries, it is advisable to first master the basics 100%. With the Basics Course, you will learn everything about the technique and execution of these exercises in detail.

Do you already have the Full Journey or another Workout Plan? Then it is definitely worth the investment to take your training level and knowledge to a higher level by starting with Calisthenics Basics!

Absolutely. You only pay once and after your purchase you have unlimited access. Don’t you have time due to circumstances? No problem. You have the freedom to follow the course at your own pace. You decide how much time you take. In this way, you can take it easy when necessary or do more workouts when you are ready for it.

Don’t you have access to a gym or Calisthenics park? Then you will need the following equipment:

• A pull-up bar. You can buy one that you can hang on the door.
• Parallel bars or a set of rings for doing dips. You can also do this on a sofa or chair in the beginning.
• Resistance bands (to make the exercises easier). We will have our own CALIFAM Resistance Bands in our webshop soon.
• A table, couch, box, parallettes, or other things which you can use to make the exercises easier or more challenging for yourself. We will explain to you how to use them 😉.
