I started reading a real book (not just a digital one) for the first time in months 🙂
3 hours of calisthenics 😳
I had no school today and no kids, so accidentally spent three hours working though my full body program. A few sets of each, alternating upper and lower . Proper rest or a little dance between each set. Beast mode dance playlist on Spotify this morning. Upper in one video, lower in the other

That's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing the videos. You have some great workout equipment there!
📹 Flexibility Challenge Check-In
Now that we are at the end of the week, I want to see how it went 👀 If you have: • a video from Monday compared to now • measurements • a photo • or even just your own explanation of what changed post it below. I would love to see what just one week of consistency did for you. Sometimes the changes are huge. Sometimes they are small. But even small changes matter, especially when they come from just showing up every day. ✅ Share anything like: • Monday vs now video • how much deeper you got • what stretch you chose • what felt different • what got easier • what surprised you Even if the progress feels small, post it anyway. That is still progress. And it helps other people see what consistency can do in just one week. 👇 Drop your update below and let’s see what changed.

I've been doing the pancake stretch each day. I feel it may have helped a little to stretch out along each leg in between attempts at the pancake itself. I definitely think I'm getting a little lower by the end of the week!
🧘 Challenge!!: 3 Minutes of Flexibility
This week’s challenge is simple: Pick 1 flexibility position and do 3 to 5 minutes of it every day for 7 days. That is it. 📹 Important challenge tip I would strongly recommend filming yourself on Day 1, which is today. Then if you really want to surprise yourself, do not film it again until Day 7. That way you can compare the difference at the end of the week. A lot of times, flexibility changes happen slowly enough that you do not notice them day to day… But when you compare the start and the end, the difference can be really impressive. 🧠 Why this works A lot of research and coaching experience shows that flexibility responds really well to: • consistency • repeated exposure • learning to relax in the position That is very similar to skills and mind-body connection. It is not only about forcing the stretch. It is also about teaching your body and nervous system that the position is safe. That is why I prefer holding positions for about 1 minute at a time. A lot of people say 30 seconds to 1 minute. I usually prefer 1 minute, because the real goal is not just getting into the stretch. The real goal is to relax once you are there. A lot of flexibility limitations are not just about the muscles. They are also about your nervous system protecting you. ⏱ How to do it Your goal each day is: • 3 minutes minimum • 5 minutes if you have extra time A really simple way to do that is: • 3 sets of 1 minute And if you want more, go up to 5 minutes total. 🎯 Pick one position If you are not sure what to choose, here are 5 of the most common flexibility goals: • middle splits • side splits • pancake • pike or touch your toes • bridge You can also choose other positions, like: • calves • shoulders • butcher stretch • arm positions • wrist flexibility A really good one, especially for handstands, is the butcher stretch. ✅ How to use this post Use this post for accountability. Comment each day with: • Day 1 • Day 2 • Day 3 • Day 4 • Day 5 • Day 6 • Day 7

I'm going to do the pancake stretch. It's one of the movements in a gym class I go to and I've also been frustrated at how difficult I find it to go low. Hoping to improve!

Hi I'm Colin from Belfast. For the past year I've been doing a bunch of Les Mills fitness classes at the gym but have never tried calisthenics. After lots of years of inactivity, I joined the gym (Bannatynes Belfast) last Feb and am now a fitness addict :) I work with weights but very little with bodyweight. I can manage an assisted pullup but would love to do it without any weight subtraction! I don't have any pictures of my gym but here's one of me before and after a 6 week weight loss challenge.
