I recommend using the app. It makes everything much easier
Don't know his app, but "bodyweight fitness" has the RR and other routines, is opensource and free. It has timers, different progressions and videos.
It is called Bodyweight Fitness and it uses the hand icon from the top of this reddit as its icon. Here it is in the play store, I believe it is available on iPhone as well.
Download the bodyweight fitness app and just do the first set of the warm up.
That's 30 seconds of very light activity. Then look at
the next excercise and see if you feel like doing it.
You don't even have to get changed.
Molding Mobility and Starting Stretching.
Since you asked for an app. Recently it had been added to this app called Bodyweight Fitness.
Do it! Starting Calisthenics has been so fun! Love the excitement of new exercises and freedom to do them basically everywhere!
The recommended routine is a great place to start!
I also use the app, [link] it was created specifically for this reddit!
Check out this app which is the mobile version of the Recommended Routine proposed on the sidebar.
You can track your workouts and it's free.
First, check out /r/bodyweightfitness and their amazing FAQ! Next, you can use this app to follow along with their recommended routine.
You probably won't like the responses you get.
Skipping legs is pretty much heresy in /r/gainit, for good reason.
Using cable machines as a primary workout is also frowned upon, also for good reason.
The low volume (3x5, even considering an AMRAP set) is facepalm-worthy.
If you wanna bulk and gain muscle, your best chance of success is to pick any one of the many linear progression programs that utilize compound, full-body lifts, and stick with it. You're still pre-"noob gains," so you have everything to gain from a solid, consistent lifting foundation. Don't squander your time with fuckarounditis.
If a gym membership (even the YMCA?) is too much for you, you will be best served by /r/bodyweightfitness and following their recommended routine progression. They even have an app to make it even simpler to start training.
No problem. There is a great app on at least Android called "bodyweight fitness." It's free and FOSS, and has all of the routine, along with a couple of related mobility/stretching routines. It has gifs/videos of each workout, along with timers and progressions:
Great app that got me to do the routine consistently.
Have you tried the BWF app? It sounds like exactly what you're looking for
You can see from the gifs or view the YouTube video from the app. It's been immensely useful for me so far
Try bodyweight fitness and movesdb app?
P.s- they are on android.
As a beginner, I would like to have a section didicated to learning moves, or maybe just a list of them with pictures, videos. The bodyweight fitness app is a great source of inspiration.
Are you associated with this app or is someone just jacking your video? It's a nice app but I would not want to support theft. [link]
> I don't have the capacity to even complete a single pull up. Is there a way to build strength to get myself into a position where I can?
Absolutely! First and foremost: you have done your research. Stop looking and start doing. If you can't do a push-up that is fine, start with the vertical progression (standing, leaning toward a wall or counter top.) As for pull-ups they are an advanced part of the Recommended Routine! You do not do pull-ups or dips until you have advanced to diamond push-ups. So, stop fretting and do your first workout!
Also, download the Bodyweight Fitness app on your phone. It allows you to pick the progression you are at and shows a gif of the exercise and has a launcher to open the video if you need to consult form as you're going. Highly recommended!

Cool. I'm sure you're aware of the potential risks and it sounds as if you have a good plan. But it is still worth mentioning as a lot of the posts on the net (and even in here) will not be of everyday mediocre gainers like myself, but rather those who are confident about their progress.
If I was to give you a last advice it would be to not become to scientific about it. The gains come while training, not while surfing the web for the ultimate routine. The RR is extremely good for steady progress and as good as any other you'll find as it is created, tuned and approved by a huge community. There is even an app that runs you through it that is very useful both for logging progress as well as for getting into it. Android here, and iPhone here
Not sure if one you refer to exists, however:
The recommended routine on this subreddit has an app that is fully formatted and also comes with a daily mobility routine, all with videos, a rest timer and workout progressions!
Check it out:
r/bodyweightfitness routines app. This one. It's basically a guide with timers to follow some of their recommended routines.
This is a much better one, but it requires some dedication as it's an actual bodyweight fitness training app. Avoid it if you just want to get sweaty and pretend you worked out, but if you want to get fit it's excellent.
See also /r/bodyweightfitness
It's formatted way better here, and you can also get the Android App which I find quite useful.
Try starting with /r/bodyweightfitness to get an idea of what works for beginners. There's heaps of info, there and I've heard its a really welcoming community. They also have their own app, which I've not used (I use progression), but have seen recommended here a couple of times.
Good luck on your fitness journey, mate!
The app is called Bodyweight Fitness and it's devoloped by Damian Mazurkiewicz (or it might be listed under mazurio in the app store). Here's the Android link.
No, I'm not lifting any weights in addition to the recommended routine. I use this Android app made by someone over at /r/bodyweightfitness
I spend a lot of my time at my desk too, so I started searching for some stretching exercises or maybe some workouts to be carried at home. And I found them BOTH on a single android app: [link]
It shakes laziness out of my body in the morning.
Do you have the official r/bwf app? It also has mobility and stretching routines.
In case you or anyone else is curious, the Android app is here: [link]
Im not sure if there is an apple version
You might like this app, has a lot of useful information (shows a short gif of each exercise progression's correct form) and stat tracking: [link]
Not sure if this specific app is also out for iOS but I bet if you search on the Apple Store you'll find something roughly equivalent
There is an android app called "bodyweight fitness" that is free, and covers the older, but still good version of the recommended routine:
I've been doing it for a couple of years, and it's challenging but effective.
The key to the workout is that once hit 3x8 sets of an exercise, move up to the next hardest variant in your next session and start over with low reps. Regular push-ups become diamond push-ups become plank push-ups, etc. Also, like any other routine, good form beats difficulty or reps. 1 good form pushup is better than 10 with bad form. Start small, keep your form right, and you will progress.
You can do about 70% of the workout without any equipment, but a pull up bar is really important. It's not an exercise you want to skip. They tend to run about $20, less if you hit up thrift stores. Those always have sports equipment in good shape near the end of summer.
The subbreddit can be intimidating, but it has lots of resources for new comers. Come on over, read the sidebar, and just dig in. You'll be glad you did.
Don't trust your perception. When I look in the mirror I see anger and piercing glare. But I have the context of my history distorting it. People just see kindness and compassion, and my eyelashes apparently.
/r/bodyweightfitness has this app now, it's great for getting a routine in. I'm 5' 11" and I started at a lanky 104 ibs. I look so much fucking better at 128 but I have a ways to go to imo.
Bodyweight Fitness is based on the /r/bodyweightfitness Recommended Routine.
Completely free and well suited when you work out at home.
Do the recommended routine. This app helps you with progression and managing your pauses while presenting useful gifs showikg you all the exercises. [link]
- For the dips, use two even chairs you think can support your weight.
- For the pull ups open a door and cover the top with a towel. Now you can do pull ups on it. Doors are very sturdy when you put weight on them vertically. I highly doubt you could break yours by hanging off of it.
- For rows you wrap a towel around the knobs of an opened and see at what length you can grip them and slowly pull your things upward and to an angle so that it is a challenge. You can also start by just holding the knobs, but I would really suggest the towel method since it administers the force more equally.
Now you can start and do all the exercises without any equipment.
The app is called Bodyweight Fitness. It was created by one of the people on the subreddit. Here's the one. It's also available in apple store. Honestly all I use for the exercises are an old yoga mat. Resistance bands are used for some exercises but I still haven't gotten around to buying them. The only other equipment needed is your body lol. Try it out if you like it!
I have the (official?) r/bodyweight fitness app for my phone. It has the recommended routine and lets you choose your progression.
First, go to /r/fitness and read their entire FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) in the sidebar. It will cover nutrition, sleep, recovery, and the other basics. Then head over to /r/bodyweightfitness and do the same. Give their recommended routine a try. There's a free app available for both android and iOS that has timers, exercise descriptions/demonstrations, and progressions (harder exercises to work your way up to). If you've got any other questions after reading the FAQs I'd be happy to help.
Not sure how familiar you are with bodyweight fitness, but i'd definitely check out /r/bodyweightfitness. In the sidebar they have different routines and I use this app:
for my exercises. I am very satisfied with my progress, and I have to commend the community on that sub, they would be very helpful with any additional questions you might have.
its a tie between Headspace and BodyWeightFitness
both have literally changed my life for the better
> try the beginner's routine on the body fitness subreddit
Howdy, I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but there's an app for that!
I love the symmetricstrength.com app, it helps me staying motivated. I used myfitnesspal for calorie tracking. I didn't use it myself for a long time but this sub app ([link]) is used by some of my friends who started their journey somehow thanks to me and aren't especially redditors
Random discussion from me: Bodyweight exercise.
I'm looking at getting back into fitness, as I did boxing classes (which were majority bodyweight, circuit, sparring, bags and drills) which I havent been able to afford for some time. I am seriously broke for the next 6 weeks.
Anyone have any recommended bodyweight exercise routines they use to keep fit?
EDIT: Cheers guys. I've just downloaded the /r/bodyweightfitness app for my phone, going to give that a go :)
There's also [link] which I'm currently using. I'm also a developer so curious to see how this turns out, do post the repo and I might even submit a PR or two. ��
Is the Bodyweight fitness app still updated with the RR changes? I'd like to use it to begin the RR but with all the difference exercises and progression I couldn't check if the app is still kept updated or if I should print the RR wiki pages instead.
Just wondering, would you guys be able to update the videos in the Bodyweight Fitness app as well? Would be really helpful for us noobs that's still trying to get the basics down.
I like it but worry it will hit a small audience. The video mostly features the incredibly advanced moves. I think it would appeal more to the everyday masses if it were something more along the lines of "What if I told you that you could be in the shape of your life and have a ripped body (if you want) with only 1 - 1.5 hours 3 days a week and no gym membership?" Then feature the basic recommended routine, progressions, and how only 6 exercises are necessary for an entire body workout that will give you incredible results.
Show some additional progress pics from everyday people. Then you could wrap with some of the cool advanced moves showing how the sky's the limit when it comes to how far you want to take this.
EDIT!
For anyone that wants to jump in - and I highly recommend getting started, not wasting away researching & putting it off!

And I just learned there is an app as well. [link]
Jesus. This makes it so easy
Have you tried the Bodyweight Fitness app? I just picked it up. You set the progression you're doing and it repeats a short gif of the exercise with an option to launch the video. Though you may be looking for actual concise videos with an overview.

What you also could do is download the "Bodyweight fitness" app on your phone. It has both "starting stretching" and "moulding mobility" with short gifs and you can follow that along.
P.S. here's the link if you have an IPhone https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/bodyweight-fitness/id1018863605?mt=8
r/bodyweightfitness has an app. Only piece of equipment needed is pullup bar, rest can improvise.
Download the app, its great! [link]
It has small gifs of the excercises so you can see the correct form.
There is this app: [link] but it still uses the old version of the recommended routine
[link] there is the same one on the Apple app store too.
I like the one that uses the RR from the sub. Only problem is you can't personalise it much. Here.
Is it this one? [link]
Here's the link for the Android version.
There is an app for the RR: [link]
It is just lacking the latest updates from de reddit one I think but it's good.
Luckily you've come to the right place.
I assume you have posted from mobile or else you would have seen the side bar, FAQ, and the large banner asking you to look at the sidebar and FAQ before posting. Don't worry about it, it's a common issue.
If you were to read the sidebar and FAQ it has essentially all the information you'd ever need to get started, including an entire workout routine that you can do that has been made to be perfectly fit to suit beginners doing bodyweight fitness for approx the first 9 months (or more) of their training!
Incase you are on an app that doesn't let you view the sidebar, here is the FAQ:
Here is the Recommended Routine:
Here is a video a mod of ours called /u/Antranik did to explain the RR:
Here is the /r/fitness FAQ, also in our sidebar as it includes useful stuff on things like diet and general training theory:
There is also an app for you to use to follow along the RR (I am the demo-man for the strength exercises!) that you can find here:
Happy reading and good luck on your journey!

Vim cá dizer isso.
Bodyweight fitness (/r/bodyweightfitness fitness for more info)
I'd add /r/bodyweightfitness app, it's really a beauty for a completely free app [link]
For android: [link]
I wonder if the Bodyweight Fitness app is current too...
This is the android app. They have another link in the subreddit sidebar, so if you need IOS, you can find it there.
There are two routines i recommend you do if you would like to improve your flexibility: Starting Stretching and Molding Mobility by Phrakture:
I would do the mobility drills in the each morning and complete the stretches after the workouts if you have the time. If this is too much for you, focus on your weaknesses.
These programmers and the RR can be found in the app for android and ios which makes it very convenient, with the app, you can also log your sets and see progress.
Android:[link]
ios: [link]
If the pull up bar can comfortably hold your weight, it will have no problem having rings hung off them.
BodyWeight Fitness Android App for easier consumption
I'm guessing it's this one [link]
I'm not sure if it is or not
The app is really good.
Wäre das Internet nie entstanden würde ich nie wissen wie es mit Internet ist und so es nicht vergleichen können, dennoch
ist die Frage so gemeint, dass man als Rebel das ganze Internet nicht benutzt während der Rest es beibehält oder, dass wir einfach in einer anderen Welt sind in der das Internet nie existierte?
Würde ich auf Rebel machen könnte ich keine richtiges Leben führen beziehungsweise nicht in die Gesellschaft integrieren. Alle anderen hätten MASSIVE Vorteile:
-freier Zugang zu gigantischen Menge an Information wo und wann man will nicht wie bei einer Bibliotheke ( Pluspunkte für Studium und Bildung...)
-Pläne mit Freunden schmieden, schnell und flexibel wäre für andere leichter, denn ich müsste dann das Festnetzt benutzen
-die ganzen Apps wie Lieferando, Uber, Google Maps, Netflix etc wären für mich unerreichbar
Das war mal so was mir einfallen würde.
Ich musste mal schon mein Pc für ein Monat abgeben und, obwhol es langweilig war habe ich irgendwas gefunden hauptsächlich war aber Schule also war ein guter Teil der Frezeit schon verbraucht, doch ich habe Fernseher geschaut oder auf dem Ds gespielt.
Es kommt hier wieder wie bei sehr vielem im Leben an, ob man es moderat oder im ezess benutzt. Das Problem ist, dass das Internet so viele gute Sachen hat, dass du dort dein ganzes Leben verbringen kannst.
Langweilig? Videospiele, Youtube, Netflix, Illegale Filem etc
Geil? Pornos!
Einsam? Social Media, Reddit, etc
Neugierig? Wikipedia!
etc
Ich kann dich aber feelen, das einzige in meinem Leben, dass mir ein wirklichen Antrieb geben hat waren meine Noten.
(Ein bisschen Geschichte) Eigentlich war ich bis Abends draußen im Bach oder einfach nur auf dem Spielplatz gechillt manchmal draußen mit Freunden Ds gespielt oder beim Lidl für 0.45cent ein Eistee gegönnt und einfach nur gessesen.
Orte gabs genug geile Spielplätze, ein langer nicer Bach, coole ruhige Wohngegend, ein Supermarkt, Kiosk und Parks. Die Panini Sammelbilder auch gekauft und das Klatsch-Spiel gespielt war einfach Tagesprogramm.
Und wenn das Wetter scheiße war bin ich einfach zu Besuch gegangen,
doch dann bin ich ungezogen von der Gegend mit vielen Freunden auf kleiner Fläche mit vielen geile Orten bin ich in ein ruhigen Vorort gezogen mit vielen alten Menschen und einem Sportplatz 10 min entfernt. Ich hatte dort keine Freunde und um meine Alten zu Besuchen müsste ich min 20-30min Busfahren also war ich ,,alleine''. Zur gleichen Zeit ging ich auf eine andere Schule, wo ich auch ein paar Freunde gemacht habe, doch über die Zeit wurde klar, dass obwohl ich auf der Schule Freunde hatte ich Zuhause ziemlich gelangweilt war ab und zu Freunde besucht aber nicht ansatzweise so frequent wie früher, da meine Mutter mich fahren musste. Dadurch begang ein Teufelskreislauf.
Ich wurde immer unsozialer, weshalb mein Freundeskreis immer schmaller wurde bis er auf eine Person begrentzt war, die genauso ,,behindert'' war wie ich, doch es gab mit der Person oft stress ,,aber hey soll ich alleine bleiben?'' also war das mein einziger richtiger Freund. Zwar gab es noch einen anderen aber, dass war irgendwie sporadisch, obwohl ich die Zeit mehr genoss mit ihm.
Aber zurück zum Thema. Mit dem Punkt, wo ich Gaming und Steam entdeckte habe ging es bergab. Gaming war mein Leben ich habe dort zwar auch mit meinem Kumpel gespielt, doch er hatte irgendwie immer andere mit denen er Abenteuer erlebt hatte und ich war relativ alleine. Also spielte ich viele Singleplayer und wurde so noch unsozialer, zwar lit meine Schule nicht dadurch, da ich klar meine Ziel vor Augen hatte, doch mein seelischer Zustand war geschädigt. Vorweg ich hatte nie wirkliche Depressionen oder Selbtsmord gedanken, doch daran Zweifel ich langsam, doch dazu komem ich noch.
Jedenfalls hab die mittlere Reife abgeschlossen und hab mein Abi begonnen, doch seit dem wurde alles noch schlimmer.
Meine soziale Isolation war meine Persönlichkeit. Ich merkte auf der neuen Schule wie ich scheiße darin war mich mit anderen Bindungen aufzubauen. Manche feierten mich sogar wegen meiner trocken Art als wäre ich ein Robotoer, doch ich war mehr ein Gag als ein Freund oder Kumpel. Wenn ich versucht habe mich zu sozialiseren wurde öfters ignoriert, was zu weiter zusetzte.
Ich hab mich mit einem befreundet, doch eine wirkliche Bindung hab ich nicht zu ihm wie die von einem Freund nicht weil er ein Arschloch war eher weil mich diverse Sachen an ihm gestört haben aber hauptsächlich glaube ich, das ich nicht mehr gut darin war Freunde zu machen. Ich habe das verlernt.
Zu dem hat mein Freund aus der Realschule viele andere Freunde gefunden und wir haben eigentlich nichts gemacht und wenn wurden die offentsichtlichen Unterschiede zwischen ihm und mir deutlich, weshalb ein freundschaftlicher Umgang nicht gegeben war. Es war eher steif. Er hatte kein Bock was von Gaming zu hören und ich nicht von Mode etc und so wurde ich einsam. Ich hatte eigentlich keinen richtigen Freunde mehr, dazu muss ich anmerken diese Phase begang schon in der Realschule, da er dort durch das Sitzenbleiben andere sich mit ihen befreundet hat und so oft rausging.
Da muss ich mir auch die Schuld geben, da er mich mehrmals gefragt hatte, ob ich raus mochte, doch da ich mit dem Bus fahren musste und sozial schon schwach war sagte ich nein und so wurde die Isolation schlimmer. Wir sahen uns aber noch in der Schule, weshalb diese Phase mir nicht so eindeutig wurde erst als wir auf anderen Schulen waren. Dadurch war ich sehr einsam und langsam wurden die Spiel auch langweilig, denn man wird ausgelaugt von einem Hobby wenn man es 8Jahren jeden Tag macht. Und so enstanden ein Gemütszustand, der mich nach recherchen an Depressionen erinnert. Gefühle der Freude kenne ich nicht mehr alles ist ,,meh'' oder scheisse. Und wenn ich jetzt mit ihm abhenge kann ich nicht ich sein, da dieser Mensch nicht mehr zu mir passt, doch würde ich nicht mit ihm rausgehen wäre ich komplett alleine (btw durch ihn wurde diese Troslosigkeit noch schlimmer, denn man fühlt sich mit den falschen Leute noch einsamer als Alleine).
DOCH! diese Ferien wurde es mir genug, zwar habe ich keine Bäume ausgerissen, jedoch hab ich Samen gepflanzt und Büsche entwurtzelt.
Ich lerne jetzt jeden Tag Programmieren, da es mich stark interessiert (btw falls du es nicht schon kennst Codecademy ist eine geniale Seite, um Programmieren zu lernen), ich traniere hart und konsequent und hab so meine krankhaft dünnen Arme in nur dünne Arme bosstransformiert, und ich versuche mehr rauszugehen mit einem Fahrrad und ich hab ein paar Freunde/Bekannte gefragt, ob die raus wollen, ich werde mir Klamotten kaufen die meinen moralischen Standards genügen und ich versuche mal für mich selbst zu kochen.
Klar, das ist ziemlicher Vogelschiss an Errungenschaften, doch du musst es realtiv sehen ich bin grade in deiner Situation, doch es ist wichtig kleine oder die ersten Schritte zu machen!
Du willst raus setzt dich auf irgendwas mit Rädern und cruise etwas rum.
Du bist untrainiert? Trainiere! (https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/ kannst du easy zuhause machen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bodyweight.fitness.free&hl=de )
Lerne zu kochen, zu malen oder lerne irgendein Hobby! Mach wenigstens einen kleine Schritt.
Das Wichtigste ist weniger nachdenken und einfach machen!
Props für die Ausbildung. Stabilität für die Zukunft ist sehr wichtig egal wie.

no, it's not. however, there's a free version of the app on the google playstore. the pro version has no extra benefits other than supporting the dev.
