Master Bodyweight Movements in Bodyweight Basics

You want to take your bodyweight knowledge to new heights but in these times, going to the gym isn’t always an option. Don’t let that stop you! By mastering a new skill with a solid foundation, you will find yourself more motivated and ready to tackle any challenge that comes your way.

Bodyweight Basics is a three-month full body program that aims to help you create a well-rounded physique and build on your strength with a measurable upper body and lower body goal.

In this program, we’ll focus on helping you master the push-up and crank out solid reps of push-ups. We will also teach you how to up-level your split squat training by focusing on the ATG Split Squat.

Once you finish this program (or if you feel comfortable with these movements, move on to Bodyweight Plus where we help you perfect pull-ups and shrimp squats.

We offer weekly total body workouts, progressions and demonstrations, ensuring you have guiding hands while you work towards these challenging, but exciting goals.

You only need a few things - a pull up bar, the space to practice our exercises, and a determined mindset!

FAQs
How long does the program last?
This program is a three month commitment, but you will be able to progress into Bodyweight Plus if you're ready after this program. You could also repeat this program if you want to run it again.
How many days per week is this program?
Four days per week with two upper body and two lower body. You'll be able to move forward and backward in the app as well so you can do the workouts on any four days that are convenient for you!
What if I know how to do a push up?
We will take you through perfecting your push up form and challenge you with eccentrics and variations. If you feel like the program is too easy, you can always try our Bodyweight Advanced program where we focus on pull ups and shrimp squats.
Do I really need rings?
Rings are optional, but recommended. You can even hit up a local park and use any bar instead. We also offer alternative exercises if you don't have access to a bar or rings.
