Mum had hip surgery recently and lost a lot of strength while waiting for the op. Walked to the park to do calisthenics with me today.

This week’s challenge is simple: Pick 1 exercise or skill that has either: • reps • time • distance Then for the next 5 days, you double it each day. 📈 How it works Let’s use push-ups and L-sit as examples. If on Day 1 you do: • 1 push-up or • 1 second L-sit hold Then your week looks like this: • Day 1 = 1 • Day 2 = 2 • Day 3 = 4 • Day 4 = 8 • Day 5 = 16 😈 Want the extra challenge? Keep going for 7 days instead of 5. That means: • Day 6 = 32 • Day 7 = 64 ✅ The rules • Pick 1 exercise or skill • It can be reps, time, or distance • You do not have to do it all in one set • You can break it up however you want • You can spread it throughout the day if needed So if you get to 64 on Day 7, that does not mean it has to be one giant set. You can split it up. 💡 Good options You could use things like: • push-ups • squats • pull-ups • hanging • L-sit holds • hollow body holds • handstand holds • walking distance • jump rope • deep squat hold 🧠 The real challenge The hard part is not just the numbers. The hard part is picking something: • small enough to start • meaningful enough to care about • challenging enough that by the end, you really have to push yourself 👇 Your turn Comment below with: • the exercise or skill you picked • whether you are doing the 5-day version or the 7-day version Let’s see who doubles it all the way through this week 🔥

Hey all I currently do yoga and pilates but at 42, I'm aware I should add in some strength training. However, i don't know where to start and don't want to cause myself damage, so here I am 🙂

👋 I'm in my mid fifties & just starting to learn calisthenics. I've come to realize I need to get back in shape cause if you don't use it, you really do lose it, lol

I just had a light bulb moment and did a 10 sec handstand 🎉😲
