What’s the best split for calisthenics?

The best split is the one that suits your lifestyle and helps you stay consistent. A popular and beginner-friendly option is the push/pull/legs split. It allows you to focus on pushing exercises (such as push-ups) one day, pulling movements (such as rows) the next, and leg work (such as squats and lunges) on another.

What’s better than calisthenics?

It depends on your goals, but calisthenics wins big for functional strength, flexibility, and zero-equipment freedom. However, if you’re chasing serious muscle mass or love lifting heavy weights, strength training with equipment may suit you better.

Can I learn calisthenics on my own?

Totally! One of the coolest things about calisthenics is how beginner-friendly and DIY it is. It’s a great way to build strength using just your body. However, depending on your fitness level, some moves may initially feel tough. In that case, having a trainer or someone experienced can help. They can show you easier exercises and ensure you’re using the correct form so you make steady progress and don’t get hurt.

Can you start calisthenics at 40?

Absolutely, yes! Calisthenics is for people of every age, and 40 is just the warm-up phase of life. Bodyweight training is gentle on the joints and pretty easy to scale. Remember, age is just a number – it doesn’t define any limits.
