What are you proud of this year? I don’t wanna hear i ran 3 marathons.

I want to hear the crazy awards stuff like…I drove the same road 438 times and exclusively listened to Fleetwood Mac.

Common share your special skill or unique achievement this year.

    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.

      Fiton app is free to use with paid options for music upgrades and even that is only like $25 per year. They have both strength and cardio classes, as well as a lot of other options. You can filter classes by things like – bodyweight only, or use dumbbells, or focus on upper body, or I only have 10 minutes, or intensity ratings, etc.

      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.
