At first, it looked intimidating. But I was too excited and impressed when I saw girls doing handstands, pull-ups, planches... and I thought, “Why not start?”
But what I didn’t know is that calisthenics is a journey and it’s for everyone, even beginners (sounds obvious 😉).
So where should you start?
✔️ Start Simple, You Don’t Need a Gym Or Fancy Equipment
When you’re a woman starting calisthenics, the goal isn’t to “do everything.”
It’s to build strength slowly with what you already have. Your body.
Here’s what I recommend:
• Start with the basics: push-ups, squats, planks, and bridges.
• Use what you have at home: a table for rows, a chair for step-ups, a wall for handstand practice.
• Be patient. Your progress might be slow at first, but it’s real progress.
Even just 20 minutes a day can change your body and your mindset.
In my next blog, I’ll share a simple calisthenics warm-up routine that you can do before every session, so stay tuned!
✔️ Focus on Consistency, Not Perfection
 |
You don’t have to train every day.
Start with 3 or 4 days a week and most importantly, listen to your body.
Some days you’ll feel strong, others you won’t. That’s normal.
What matters is that you keep showing up.
That’s why I created my 20 Fitness Affirmation Cards for Women to remind you that your strength isn’t only physical.
It’s in your mindset, your patience, your consistency.
You can get them here on Chariow. Print them or keep them on your phone for motivation before every workout.
✔️ My Favorite Beginner Calisthenics Moves
Start with pushups, squats, bridges, pull ups and leg raises.
I literally started there. And I'm satisfied with the great results I see on myself.
Take your time with each move, focus on form, and don’t compare yourself to anyone.
You’ll discover how powerful your body actually is, and how every little win counts.
✔️ Final Thoughts
Calisthenics taught me that you don’t need a gym to grow
You just need discipline, patience, and belief in yourself.
If you’re starting, take it one step at a time.
And when motivation fades, read your affirmations, breathe, and remind yourself why you started.
Do you do calisthenics at home too?
