What are some essential calisthenics exercises to include in a beginner workout routine?

G34Lyf9
I'm new to fitness and want to start incorporating exercise into my daily life. I have heard about the benefits of bodyweight training, but don’t know where to begin or what is considered essential for beginners. What are some foundational exercises in calisthenics that would be a good starting point? Can you suggest an easy-to-follow routine?

Pull-ups and push-ups for sure - they're like the bread and butter of calisthenics. Shoulder taps are also awesome, helps you work on balance. Lay flat on your front with hands by shoulders or a bit wider than shoulder width apart if doing it correctly.

Pull-ups and push-ups will get you started – they're staples in any beginner workout. Try dips or even chin-ups for upper body strength, plus don’t forget about squats and lunges for leg day. Incorporating planks can really help with core endurance too.

Chin-ups, dips or even just body rows can spice up those biceps. And hey don’t forget about squats! They are like leg day heroes at workouts. Having a good core is key so let's not skip on planks; they seriously help with endurance and stability. Oh, you might wanna try some bridges too for that back health boost. Don’t just stick to the usual - mix it up! Get creative but always keep form in check.
