Starting With Bodyweight Exercises Before Using Weights

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? 💪

Bro pushups humbled me so badly when I first started 😭 couldn't even do 5 properly

Bodyweight squats are such a good way to learn proper movement before adding weights

Ngl I thought pullups were easy until I actually tried doing one 💀

Starting with bodyweight exercises helped me build confidence before using the heavier equipment

Girl lunges had me questioning my balance and coordination at the same time 😂

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

What helped you guys finally get your first proper pushup? I've been struggling with those

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