When I first started working out I thought I needed to use weights right away to make any real progress 😭 but lately I've been realising how useful bodyweight exercises can be for building a solid foundation i've been trying to get better at pushups squats and lunges before worrying about adding more weight or trying complicated movements it's actually pretty satisfying when an exercise that felt impossible at first starts becoming easier n learning to control your own body is a great place to start before moving into heavier training. What bodyweight exercise did you guys struggle with the most as beginners? 💪

Honestly mastering the basics first makes progressing to weights feel so much easier

Bro calisthenics looks simple until you realise how much strength and control it actually takes
