Calisthenics Beginners Book
Go From Zero to Full-Body Strength — No Gym, No Equipment, No Experience Needed
Reviewed and loved by best of the calisthenics athletes, our book has helped people since 2016 and continues to be ranked #1 calisthenics book in the category.
Millions of people want to get fit. Most never start — because no one showed them how.
You’ve probably tried before. Maybe you signed up for a gym and stopped going. Maybe you bought a program that assumed you already knew what you were doing. Maybe you just didn’t know where to begin.
Calisthenics for Beginners was written for exactly that moment — when you’re ready to change, but you need a clear, proven path to follow.
No gym membership. No equipment. No prior experience. Just your bodyweight, this book, and a plan that actually works.

What a great guide! After 50 years as a gym rat, I needed to read that calisthenics are legit! This guide covers it all. Whole body! I read the Kindle version but I’ll buy the print version in order to have it with me at the Family-Y where I have access to perfect mat areas for a lot of these upper & lower body exercises. Strongly recommend for ANYONE, gym rat or not!!
Loved the illustrations and clear step-by-step explanations. Even after 15 years of gym training, I’ve found new exercises to challenge myself!
