Rockridge Press Calisthenics for Beginners: Step-By-Step Workouts to Build Strength at Any Fitness Level

This book is exactly what I needed to kickstart my fitness journey without a gym. The step-by-step workouts are clear, approachable, and designed for all levels—even total beginners like me. I love how it breaks down each movement with tips on form and progression, so you can build strength safely and confidently. The routines are short but effective, and I’ve already noticed improvements in my core and upper body strength. It’s also great for busy schedules—no equipment needed, and you can do it anywhere. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your technique, this guide is a fantastic resource. Highly recommend for anyone curious about calisthenics!

Das Buch ist für Anfänger gut geeignet. Jedoch gibt es Übungen, für die Zusatzmaterial benötigt wird. z.b. Klimmzugstangen oder Schlingentrainer.

If you don't know what a press-up is, this is the book for you.

Very good

So far I’ve read 2 chapters and turned through the pages of the rest before writing a review. I havn’t been able to workout in well over a year and I feel like a beginner all over again let alone I’ve never done calisthenics! I felt this book brings a lot of reassurance it removes the daunting feeling from watching all the cool poses online. It’s very clearly written, easy to engage with the author, great sized book I love that the pages are thick and colourful also and that the exercises have pictures to help understand them! This book has already helped give me the confidence to begin. I can’t wait to read the rest of the book and get started it definitely will be a strong part of the foundation I need. Thank you to the author :)
