Before everyone starts jumping in the comments saying, "a crow is too hard" or "skin the cat will dislocate your shoulders," hold on a second and let me say this very clearly: every movement CAN be dangerous if executed poorly, and "easy" or "hard" are totally subjective terms. Please prioritize safety before attempting ANY of the movements listed here or ANY movement for that matter. Even though these are some of the easiest skills you can do with your bodyweight, they still require a significant degree of body awareness and basic strength. Let's go through each of them to discuss the risks and how to approach them safely. 1. Crow Pose / Frog Stand: This is arguably the easiest hand-balance and a perfect entry point for anyone who wants to learn handstands later on. Putting the knees to the outside of the arms will make it easier. When starting out, alternate the feet to gradually build strength and capacity. While it's not a requirement, I recommend that you have done some exercises where your hands are flat on the ground, like push-ups, before attempting this move. This will help ensure safety, especially when it comes to the wrists. 2. Elbow Lever: Similar to the crow pose, my primary concern here is wrist conditioning. I recommend having done some basic floor work before attempting this skill. Experiment with the position of your wrists: you can try having your fingers fully backward or pointing slightly to the outside to find the most comfortable position for you. Using an elevated surface, such as a block or step, can make it easier for your feet to lift, but it also poses a higher risk, so please be safe. 3. Skin The Cat: it’s a complex movement and can be intimidating if attempted without prior experience. Before trying this, I recommend being familiar with hanging from a bar. Using a low bar where you can rest your feet on the floor at the start and end of the movement can help overcome the fear of dropping back and ensure safety. It's best to try it ideally with a spotter or by carefully following the instructions in the video. Once again, despite these being beginner skills, THEY ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE -at least not without proper preparation and guidance. Please prioritize safety and have a spotter or a safe environment (such as a mat for the skin the cat, a pillow for balancing skills, etc.) when attempting these movements. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below! Appreciate you being here. With Love, Gabo
Friendly calisthenics tips to newbies: buy a cheap dog bed from Costco. They make great soft crash pads for small falls. They have saved my ass on multiple occasions
"Skin the cat"!! I haven't heard(or done it) since elementary school 😅I started lifting weights at 12 yrs old. I always thought I was too big for things like this
Wow you have a different level of vascularity ❤looking cool and kinda scary 😅i too have veins in my arms pop even tho i am not very lean( i carry very little fat in my arms)it kinda makes me scary Have you ever tried any types of martial arts???
I can’t do crow but I can do a forearm & handstand (cannot handstand for very long yet), crow is way harder for me, my arms hurt, my legs don’t stay, I am soo shaky and I feel even heavier and more off balance than normal 😩

I could do the last one on my first try. But i can't remotely do the others😢
I can do skin the cat but have never done calisthenics
I can all them but handstand seems impossible
the last one is the easiest tho
What's the use of the skin the cat? Strength, mobility?
but how did i train my legs
brother i don't think so my wiil be safe after do that all😅
👍🙏🍀
Doesn’t this guy sound like MikeShake a little?
I started calisthenics 6 months ago and now i can only do 20 push ups in a row. It tastes me years to do these moves
Why can i do elbow thingy and i didnt train for it long
We only got one life... i think 🤔😂😂
The guy your wife says not to worry about. He’s just my trainer. 🤦♂️
We only got one like, i think 😂😂
Ну явно не для брёвен😊😢😢😢😢😂
