Think it takes months to build muscle with bodyweight training? Think again.

What can you get done in 21 days?

You could learn the fundamentals of a new language.

You could master a video game.

You might even be able to buy a house in that amount of time. Know what else you can do?

Build muscle, strength, and self-confidence through bodyweight training. I should know, since I've been there.

I started where you are. Unsure, a little intimidated, but 100% committed to finally creating the body I wanted. After years of training with calisthenics and discovering the ins and outs of this style of exercise, I'm ready to share everything I've learned.

This isn't just another book of exercise plans that tells you what to do and then abandons you in the middle of your journey. This book teaches you how to make calisthenics your lifestyle.

You'll improve your health first with an understanding of nutrition, because there's no point to exercising if you're going to eat junk.

Then, I'll reveal the fundamental movements that make up calisthenics and explain how each one contributes to your muscle-building journey.

Finally, you'll be given a 21 day workout plan that leaves out any guesswork and provides a complete guide you can use to get fit.

In addition, you'll also find:

    • What to do when you hit a fitness plateau

    • Common mistakes others make in calisthenics and how to avoid them

    • Answers to the question, "Do I have to have more muscles in order to gain strength?"

    • The best bodyweight exercises to build muscle fast

    • How to train for maximum results

    That's just the start, of course. I'll also talk about rest and recovery, two of the most important things in fitness if you want to avoid injury and keep your body in top shape.

    There will also be a chapter dedicated to helping you over the hurdles that you might come across so that you'll never lose your motivation and will keep pushing to see results.

    Think about all you could accomplish in the next 21 days! Imagine having more energy, better health, strong muscles, and the confidence that comes with looking and feeling great.

    If you're ready to stop imagining and start living your fitness dream, click "add to cart."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Before you decide to blow a bunch of money on gym equipment, read this book!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Lots of people have this preconceived notion that in order for them to get in shape, they have to spend an exorbitant amount of money. The truth is, you can work out every part of your body without using any equipment at all. Calisthenics uses the weight of your own body to build muscle and get toned, and no, it's not only for beginners.

    The book goes everything from nutrition to the types of exercises to actual workout plans. There is a lot of reading, but also plenty of pictures to illustrate the exercises. Highly recommended.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Calisthenics Book with Links to Videos
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020
    I have reviewed one other exercise book by this author, and this one is certainly an improvement, though it is not perfect. I liked that the author not only had pictures of each exercise (though not all showed precisely what he was describing) but also had links to videos showing you how to do the exercises. The book is generally well written, better than most exercise books, though I did think the exercises needed more explanation. The book did have some issues, though. The author did go off on a few tangents, like discussions of nutrition and sleep. While I completely agree with the importance of both in a healthy life (and I love that he espouses the Mediterranean diet), I don't think the author should have spent so much time on them in a book that should be about its topic. I also felt that the book needed better organization. There's a chapter that gives generalities about the core calisthenic exercises, and this is followed by a chapter that tells you how to do them. I think these just should have been combined in one chapter about the nine core exercises. This book is not specifically for beginners, and beginners would most likely not be able to do all the types of calisthenics shown in this book. But a beginner could start where he or she is at and add more as they get stronger. I liked how the author distinguished moving calisthenics from static ones, more commonly known as isometrics. All in all, this is a decent book on using your bodyweight to build muscle.

    I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

    The author does a great job of explaining an approach that encourages overall health and not just big muscles. He starts of with nutrition and rightly so since it plays such an important part in building a healthy body. A number of exercises are explained in detail but I wish the author had used more diagrams. Overall, a fairly complete guide and timely since you can do most all the workouts at home.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Covers everything key to getting started
    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2020
    This book covers all you need to know to get started on working out using just your bodyweight. It is particularly relevant now when many gyms are closed, and even when they open, many people will be hesistant to go back. So what do you do? Well, as the book explains, our bodies can look just as great and be really strong from doing bodyweight exercise, eating right and sleeping right. The book covers all those areas, including tips for avoiding injury, workout plans, debunking myths, etc. If you are a beginner in weightlifting or mid-level-beginner in using bodyweight, this book is for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just What I Needed
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020
    A very well done how-to book for those of us that need help but can not go to a gym. I can start off slow and work myself up gradually as I am retired. Meds and injuries have put me on a downward spiral for a year now and I had gotten pretty weak in certain areas of strength. I love the step by step procedures and that I can direct to certain parts more than others. Every little bit helps and I have seen an improvement, which is fantastic in my eyes. Hope to get back to biking and hiking longer distances soon.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very clear, concise and informative
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020
    This step-by-step guide was wonderfully comprehensive and beneficial to every fitness level. Every chapter was very detailed, easy to follow and provided a wealth of information. I was impressed by the breakdown of a nutritional diet as well as the emphasis on proper sleep habits. Exercises were properly explained. As someone who prefers to workout at home and uses minimal equipment, the focus of this book was right up my alley. Whether you're trying to get in better shape or looking for some fresh motivation, this book is an ideal place to start.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Workout, Minimum Equipment Needed
    Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2020
    I was looking for a strength training workout that didn't need a lot of weights or equipment, and I prefer something I can do on my own without going to the gym. I like that the book covered nutrition and hormones as well as exercise. There are tons of great exercises in here for a total body workout. I liked how specific the instructions were, and I loved that with the ebook, you can click a link to instructional videos for more info! Great!

    I thought this was a really useful book packed full of information. It has exercises that cover your whole body and really emphasises the importance of recovery and consistency when it comes to exercising. I really liked the chapters focussing on the myths of callisthenics and the useful Q&A chapter towards the end. It has some great nutrition information too. Would recommend to those wanting to get healthier without spending lots of money on gym memberships.
