I have this special bonus that I am going to reveal to you:

Up there is a link that will direct you to a website where you can get a Fitness Calculator and a Killer Core Workout. I actually used this exact same calculator to get an estimate and track how many calories I needed to eat in a day to achieve the body of my dreams when I was just getting started in my journey.
Just insert your name and email and it will be sent straight to your email.
Introduction
Earlier this week, I was speaking with a friend of mine about our respective workout habits. This is a subject we had discussed many times before, but today I decided to ask a very specific question.
Why did you start doing calisthenics?
In our previous conversations we had talked about increasing flexibility, variations in squat positions, and appropriate set repetitions; and yet I had never asked that simple, fundamental question. Even though working out had created a great deal of positive change in my life, somehow I had overlooked that inquiry.
Despite the amount of experience I had in this particular area, my friends purpose for it had slipped my mind. It was a question I had been asked many times when starting with a new trainer. However, it had somehow gone overlooked in my personal life. His response proved that it was a much bigger subject than I once thought.
Six months ago, I didnt want to live anymore. Honestly, I expected to hear something similar to the other reasons I had heard over the yearsincreasing strength, becoming more attractive, or a variety of more surface-level issues. This was something much deeper. It was something that even I, who placed so much value and weight in working out, had not seen. I put so much of myself into working out, but all of it had been from my perspective and not trying to see through the eyes of others. By listening and expanding my thought process, I was able to learn so much more about a subject I considered myself fully learned in.
My friend explained that he had been experiencing a very low point in his life for several reasons, ranging from family to work. He tried to use his usual methods of coping but it merely put off the problem without repairing or bettering a thing. One day, he walked into a fitness center, took the time to sit down with a trainer, and began what he so poignantly referred to as his journey the journey of calisthenics.
Maybe you arent struggling with life in the ways my friend was, but you are reading this book to find a solution to some issue within yourself. It could be something simple and short-term, or perhaps it is a life change that will take a true journey to accomplish; either way, you are looking to calisthenics as a catalyst and guide to that change.
Or perhaps you are like myself and were unaware of how deep this lifestyle can become. It isnt easy, of course, but the changes are lasting and the scope of life-altering moments are for the better. You may have stumbled into this simply looking for your usual, small-thought workouts. Those are more of a one-dimensional approach to lifes issues; a single solution for a single issue solved through one action alone. For certain personality types, or for a smaller impact, those routines work just fine. For a true change in your life, for better health and a broader mind, and for more trust in and with yourself; for all this, you need a workout that is different.
Together, we will learn new and better habits, in both your life and your workout routine. Through these proven steps, you will establish a solid baseline and discover how to build upon it for an altered, healthier life. There are likely some areas in your life that got the spotlight, as you have been reading. It is very common and can be extremely helpful to recognize this early on. Your mind and body are aware of what is needed for true repair of self, but people rarely take the time to listen hard enough. This may seem like an attack, but it is simply an observation. Because the majority of workout programs I have experienced or studied seemed to lack a multi-subject approachas well as giving proper focus to the honesty within yourselfsomething jumps out when you feel heard. You may not have considered these parts of your life to need improvement, but noticing patterns that can be changed for the better is not a bad thing! It is the first part of understanding the necessary steps to alter your life for the better!
I believe it is always best to set out from a place of positivity; so lets celebrate the beginning and the journey that is about to start!
Chapter One: Starting Your Journey
T here are many reasons why people would choose this book; and they are often very personal, as you may already know. What I mean by that is there are arcs of thought that tend to cover most workoutsdevote time, work out, get better. There is too much focus on a singular area for the routine to give attention to every part that needs bettering. You had reasons before you opened the book, and I am sure you have even more by now.
As you make your way through the steps and workouts, taking the time to appreciate the achievements along the way, you will discover and fulfill your promise to yourself. It is important that there be no judgement at any point throughout this process. It will be difficult at first, but you need to be able to recognize your problem areas without allowing the degrading power (that part of you that is much too hard on yourself) to emerge. By removing judgement from the equation, you dont waste time being down on yourself and can instead focus on the solutions! Every journey has ups and downs, but they do not take away from both the results and the willpower gained by following through.
Youve probably been here before and you may feel a bit of dj vu. The positivity, the layout, even the wording may already have you on edge. For most people, there is a long list of workout routines that never panned out, and that is nothing to get down on yourself about! You are probably feeling that same skepticism starting up again.
Breathe. Now breathe again. One more time. Three breathsgood, solid breathscreate an excellent reset point.
Your doubt is real and should be recognized, because the promises that other programs offered you in the past fell short. Now, there will be many, many times throughout this program when you will be asked to be very honest with yourself. This may not be something you are used to, nor are comfortable with. That is also understandable. This, however, is a give and take between the reader and the program. A true relationship is one cultivated in trust and faith for the things to come; this should operate no differently! I have faith in you! Within you is a desire to better yourself in a way you havent considered before. There is something to be said for comfort; but if the other programs were also from a source of comfort, it sounds like you need something new!
In order to get the most out of this experience, it is vital that both openness and honesty are present. To begin, be honest with yourselfwhat are your reasons? They have begun to show themselves in ways you probably werent even expecting. There are no wrong answers to this question. You may have one main purpose for beginning this journey or several that combined to bring you to this point; the reasons do not matter, so long as they are important and personal to you !
