Review: Very very very good - Very very very good Review: Buy This, Not Some (Subscription) ‘Designer Plan’ Pushed on Social Media - A man in my 50’s, I have been looking for a way to lose weight and increase muscle tone. I nearly tapped purchase on several calisthenics or chair yoga ‘designer plans’ pushed to me on social media…but did not want to have manage yet another subscription service and was not sure what would appear on the other side of that tap. So I surveyed my options for a book on desertcart. I am so glad I made this purchase. First of all, I love that Ashley Kalym stresses mastering the basics before moving onto more complicated, strenuous exercises. For me, a complete beginner, this is so helpful and sets workable goals for improvement. He would rather you get the basic push up or pull up perfect than moving onto more demanding exercises because the basics are themselves so foundational and comprehensive in the muscle groups they work out. He presents then several exercise plans that begin with the basics and work on up. So this is very doable, and in itself inspired me to get going. Start small…and build from there. His writing is clear. The pictures and exercise descriptions show you exactly how to perform it perfectly. And he covers hundreds of different body weight exercises, including mobility and stretching. It is a great, comprehensive guide accessible to all levels. If you are looking for motivation to get going, realize this book is low on “rah-rah, go get ‘em, tiger!”-type self-help boosterism. That was totally fine by me. It is a sound, practical guide rich in detail and information. Just perfect!

Excellent training tool
This book is invaluable for my calisthenics training. I love how the author lay's out step by step progressions, and describes in detail with pictures how to do the exercises.

Magnifique !
Je possède de nombreux ouvrages sur la callisthenie. C'est de loin le meilleur. Il est complet, progressif et explique tout ce qu'il faut savoir. J'ai fait de nombreux progrès en peu de temps. La version en anglais n'est pas un obstacle : Google traduit facilement certains mots. Je remercie vivement son auteur pour l'œuvre qu'il a réalisée

Super Buch für den Einstieg und Fortschritt
Absolute Emfehlung. Habe zuerst mit Convict Conditioning trainiert um Basics aufzubauen. Bin dann aber irgendwanm auf dieses Buch hier umgestiegen und mache seitdem deutlich merkbarere Fortschritte. Der Trainingsplan ist ech gut.
