GimmeMedals Dec 2020 12:52pm, 28 Dec 2020 19,149 posts	0 GimmeMedals I'm pleased, AC - I like people to be happy My arms aren't after this morning set of exercises 🤣 I've done a ladder of press ups, seated dips and "Let me ins" from the book. 7.5 mins of each. I've still got the "Let me ups" to do but I need to find somewhere to do them. As a last resort, I'll lower the pull up bar, but I'd prefer to leave that where it is.
BaronessBL Dec 2020 12:56pm, 28 Dec 2020 8,609 posts	0 BaronessBL I need to build up core strength - well all strength really. Not sure I am quite at the stage of doing all this but I will follow what others do on the thread with interest and if I find out that GM can suddenly start hanging for a lot longer than I can then I might have to force myself to join in with all this!
GimmeMedals Dec 2020 2:43pm, 28 Dec 2020 19,150 posts	0 GimmeMedals I managed nearly 4 this morning BBL - a nanosecond more than yesterday. I'm at very beginner stage, BBL; I doubt you are weaker than me.

Homeless Kodo Dec 2020 5:59pm, 28 Dec 2020 1,327 posts	0 Homeless Kodo I’ve just seen the Calisthenics/Callanetics on page 1, I’d not hear of Callanetics before, I think they’re quite different. Calisthenics en.wikipedia.org Callanetics en.wikipedia.org Just had a go at an Al Kavadlo program I last did 18 months ago, the lower body work was fine. I fear for my upper body tomorrow though 😀
SusiesueHarp Dec 2020 6:09pm, 28 Dec 2020 1,863 posts	0 SusiesueHarp That was me getting mixed up HK! Having looked at the definitions you’ve linked to, my daily routine looks it might be callisthenics. No bright Lycra and leg warmers to be seen here 😀 Hope you’re ok to function tomorrow 😀
