About me
How I went from kneeling push-ups to handstands and human flags.
Introduction
That changed when I found calisthenics.
Why calisthenics worked for me
Calisthenics felt different from the start.
With weights, I never really felt like I was working towards something that excited me.
With calisthenics, there was always another movement to improve or another skill to unlock.
At first, I mainly started because I wanted to lose weight. But after a while, it became much more than that.
Progress came slowly. I went from kneeling push-ups to pull-ups, and eventually started working towards skills that once seemed completely impossible to me.
Today, I can hold a handstand and perform a human flag. I’m proud of those things, but they also make me realise how much more there is still to learn.
Where I am now
I’m still losing weight, but it’s no longer the main thing I care about.
What keeps me training now is getting stronger, learning new skills, and seeing what my body can actually do.
One of the biggest things calisthenics has taught me is that progress usually isn’t exciting.
Most of the time, it’s just showing up, doing the work, and repeating the same things for long enough to get better at them.
Why I built this site
I believe calisthenics is for everyone.
You don’t need to already be strong, and you don’t need to feel comfortable walking into a gym.
You just need somewhere to start and a way to progress from there.
I also know how confusing it can be when you’re starting out and every source seems to tell you something different.
That’s why I built this website.
Long-term goal
My long-term goal is to make calisthenics easier to get into and easier to understand.
I want to build a place where someone can start from zero, figure out what they need to work on,
and gradually progress without having to piece everything together from hundreds of different sources.
No hidden paywalls. Just clear, practical guidance.
