Alina Bharde / Calisthenics

“Do I need to be strong to start Calisthenics?”


The answer: No! Strength can be built throughout the weeks, months and years.


This is my honest one year transformation with pike push-ups. I couldn’t do a single push-up when I started. We all have our starting points and this was mine. I still struggle with pushing strength but the (slow) progress is still visible 😝.


To the people debating on whether to start their journey: DO IT!


“The best time to start was 6 months ago. The second best time to start is now.”

First attempt of the straddle press on parallettes! It’s seeming much much harder than the floor-only version
-
And the bent arm press is still on the agenda 👀🙌🏼.

Do not be fooled... I had a severe heartburn after this
-
Control of the press is getting better.... but I still can’t catch the balance of the handstand 😩
