I'm 45 and I weigh 260. For the first time in some years, I was able to do a chin up (palms in) from a dead hang. It was not easy, but I also recognize the first one is the hardest. I've always wanted to be able to knock out a set of 10 on command. You can't reach any number until you reach #1. Big victory for me and I am very happy about it. The best I ever did was 8 when I weighed 160. I will make my goal.
Hey Will, me too! I'm a female who weighs 170lbs. Last week, I got my first chin-up, and it was great! I had been working towards it for over 3 months consistently, and made a lot of back gains in the process Another stat for anyone wondering: My lat pulldown went from 80lbs for 10 reps to 120lbs for 10 reps while I was training for pullups/chinups
Congrats man! If you can do one consistently, you'll eventually be able to 2 and 3 and so on. I got a joist chin up bar for christmas and have been working towards 10 too.
Resistance bands would have been a great for $20, you can usually get a set of resistance bands which allow for different exercises. You can do curls, overhead press, lateral raises, tricep pushdowns, face pulls, literally so many different exercises are available, with a low risk of injury. In my opinion they're an underrated piece of exercise equipment everyone should have
@@stevanojv6421 I bought them in discount for a lot cheaper than the marked $50ish. However, I would suggest you buy ones that are from well known brands and have high ratings... Because cheap ones can break easily...
Resistance bands terrify me. They deteriorate with time and I'm afraid one will break and smack me in the face! I'm pretty sure there are brands that are like bungee cords, where they wouldn't be able to break completely due to the protective fiber covering. I'm now off to search for bungee bands....💪🏼👍🏻

Thank you Hampton. I'm starting all of your videos slowly but surely. I'm a 55 year old menopausal woman. I've been very unwell these last few years. To know I can attempt all of these exercises without paying a fortune is a real motivator🙏.Many many thanx👍
Hampton's advice on 0$ homemade gym ring helps me tremendously. After 3 months, now I can do 7 clean pull-ups. And I absolutely a agree with him that we don't need any money to start working out. One day, I wanted to start jogging so i went online to look for running clothes and shoe. However, as a poor college student, I was hesitated to buy them. I did to feel like I should run without those things. After a few days of postponing, I said:" fuck it, I will run today with my shorts, a regular T-shirt and my old shoes". And now I have been running every day for 2 weeks. Just do it!
I was in exactly the same position at the start of this year, and good job! But be careful not to overdo it, especially if you're a bit overweight and just starting out with running. I ran every day for three or four weeks pretty much non-stop and ended up with shin-splints so bad i had to stop for longer than I would have liked. Listen to your body, and good luck!
@@kieranderuyter3705 Check out videos on running form. My whole life, I'd try running and get shin splints. Come to realize it wasn't my weight, it was my running form. Mid-forefoot instead of hell strike, shorter stride, etc. Look up RUclips videos on it, made a huge difference for me.

You are such a genuine and honest person. You don't even want to sell us your fitness gear. Instead, you point out that you don't mind where we get it from as long as we do get decent stuff. Always so helpful. It's easy to see why people like you and your content so much.
I love the raw unfiltered personality that comes through. It doesn't seem staged and a lot of times it feels like we are figuring it out together not like you are lecturing me. Thank you, Hampton.
I don't even watch this channel for the fitness. 90% of this content I already now. I just watch it because I enjoy seeing someone trustworthy on the internet who doesn't try to get something from me and that is so rare.
Wow. This guy is so refreshing to listen to. All he really cares about is to help other people to get fit and healthy. Everyone, not just those who can afford to purchase expensive fitness products! People should support him as much as they can. I nominate him for Fitness sainthood!
Thanks Hampton for the amazing videos! Long story short...Always enjoyed your channel but NEVER engaged in very healthy activities. 46 yr. Old mom of 3. smoked 20+ years. 10+ Years of feeling sick, overly medicated 10+ years with Gabapentin for joint stiffness?! July 2022 to Oct. 2022 health/gut episodes. Finally they clued into my gallbladder...removed 7 days ago. 13 day hospital stay. Quit smoking and LOVE it! Hampton, I am now ready to take responsibility for my own health and get healthy. I can't wait to start actually learning the things you share. I even have playlists somehow made for this day! Thank you so much for the amazing content. You're very non-judgmental and genuine approach are something I know many of us appreciate! F. L.
I have a yoga mat, a pull-up bar, a 15 lbs. dumbbell, a 20 lbs. dumbbell, a 25 lbs. dumbbell, and a 30 lbs. dumbbell. I built up that collection slowly over the course of a year or more. It has all served me well so far.
Same. I bought 5kg dumb bells first. After i developed a proper habit of working out, i slowly started buying more stuff like yoga mat followed by pull up bar followed by gym rings
"You have a body, the floor and gravity." *Let the bodies hit the floor creeps up* Jokes aside Hampton, I am working out in these holidays and hopefully can extend that when regular life continues again. Thanks for all (the guiding) you do and happy Holidays!
I would recommend at sub $100 a set of dip bars instead of the full pullup rack. They take up far less room, can be used for horizontal pulls, dips, pushups and are easily portable or tucked into a closet. Also, for $20-50 I bought 2 sets of resistance bands. full Loops and single lengths with door anchors. Fantastic for really isolating muscles. Sometimes you don't want to work full compound movements and you just want to target a weak spot. Or you might hurt a joint but still want to exercise without stressing that area.
Hey Hampton, I would HIGHLY recommend you add parallettes to this list (the wooden sticks), they are one of the best investments I've ever made in my calisthenics journey. They are very easy to travel with and super useful if you have wrist pain
hey i was actually looking for something in this video that helps me with wrist pain! are there any specific ones which you would recommend? or anything you should look out for?
@@gollelp34 Hampton did make a video on DIY parallettes if you want to try making your own. not pretty, but they do the job ^^ ruclips.net/video/LS9Ez8NQ9EU/видео.html
@@gollelp34 they all pretty much function the same, you can get ones they are very far off the ground and some that are close to the ground. Either way they will get your hands into a more comfortable position if you have pain putting them flat on the ground
Your answers were great; what I read in consumer reports was that the most effective training equipment is usually a good pair of walking shoes and to walk for 3 weeks about 30 minutes every day because once you get used to that then you're more likely to to miss walking as a routine. At this point you can integrate some equipment into your routine because once you hit 6 weeks to 2 months you're most likely to continue the routine. I have several friends who have stationary bikes and treadmills at home which now serve as clothes hangers. Some of this equipment was $500 but some of them was over $2,700.
My list of first things to buy... #1... handstand parallettes. Use them for push-ups, L-sit, V-sit, and (obviously) handstands. These little things will save your wrists and keep your hands healthy enough to train longer. Also gives you a deeper push-up. Thing #2... wrist wraps. Do about 1/4 of your training without wraps, but having them can really help. The joints will ache before the muscles. Thing #3... doorframe pull-up bar. Thing #4... Rings with adjustable straps. Total = around $120 and you are in good shape to train. You can use two chairs to train your dip "prisoner style" until you get your rings up.
+1 for yoga mats. If you have bad knees or are overweight the yoca mat is the best thing you can have. Plus you don't want to use carpets for those sweaty excercises. Whatever someone buys... remember to have a purpose for the thing before you buy it or you end up buying lots of useless stuff. I've bought some equipment with the idea that it sounds or looks interesting but I haven't really used them. I found a really good deal on an elliptical machine and bought one some time ago. It is a nice machine but I just find it utterly boring to use. The mistake I made was to buy it with the idea that I'll figure out a way to add it to my routines. A new elliptical machine can easily be multiple hundred dollars/euros and even though I paid a fraction of that it still feels like wasted money. And wasted space. It is not a small unit. A good purchase I made was a pullup bar. Before I even got one I had already a program to do. I knew how I was going to use it. All I needed was to get one and I can start. Whenever you want to buy something, make a list of excercises that require that thing. Then look into if you can make those same excercises with the things you already have. If you can't then it might be a good purchase. But if you can already do everything and still want to buy it then it is possible you are buying something with the idea that not having that thing that is preventing you from getting better. And getting that thing will make you better. It won't. It is the work you put in that makes you better. Buying things won't get you any nearer to your goals.
Your voice is so calming... I melt with every video of you no matter the topic. And about this video, you reminded me that I need to start exercise and there is no excuse for me. I always made excuses such as exercises clothes or time but you made them disappear. How do you exercise with jeans on lol. Where do you find the motivation to exercise at the end of the day. Your videos all answered these. Thanks!
The first item I would recommend, especially since they’re usually so cheap are Resistance bands. The ones in a set with door anchor included. Those are honestly the best (value to cost wise) especially if they’re decently made
I appreciate this video and you, Hampton. Thanks for always being real yet positive. About yoga, not sure why people in the community don’t like it but - a lot of yoga “poses” (they’re called asanas) combine calisthenic styles with stretching, especially the ones that are not absolute beginner. So anyone who likes calisthenics and disses yoga simply isn’t aware. For eg. the full bridge in calisthenics? That is actually the chakra (wheel) asana in yoga. Lying down leg raise? It’s the first part of the hala (plow) asana, which is actually more intense than just the leg raise. Yoga has different styles where the length of time spent in one asana, or the speed with which you change from one asana to the next can vary, so you can do what suits your ability and goals best. My tennis academy when I was a child used it as a cooldown exercise for us, so it’s versatile. It’s also a really mindful way of exercising where breathing is extremely important, and if you learn it the proper way, each asana has a spiritual significance. People who don’t like it, in my knowledge, are those whose goals are usually achieving visible hypertrophy i.e. gaining muscle mass. Yoga is more of a holistic thing so that’s not the focus. But also, it is something an absolutely unfit person could take up easily and make gradual progress in, first going through easy asanas then on to tougher ones as they become more flexible and strong - just like calisthenics. Sorry if I sound like an advertisement for yoga (hah!) but I really would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Also, it’s from my country so I like to correct misinformed ideas about it.
I've really liked your shorts about using household furniture to exercise. I live in a very tiny flat - only 24qm - and finding even floor space is difficult. My resolution for 2022 is to figure out how to exercise inside. I had a great routine going when it was warm enough for me to spend a lot of time outdoors. I need to get creative.
Something that I do when seeing something, that I want: Putting it on a list and earning it by doing my workouts. This way I get motivated and I get time to thing wether I really should invest in it or leave it.
A free standing pull up bar (power tower) i can recommend is the Pull up mate 2. Had mine for a couple months now and wish i got it sooner instead if spending money on doorframe pull up bars or compromising/improvising hanging my rings from the loft hatch or swing sets. You can buy it for £170 or a bit more for various accessories like the height extension kit. It literally takes minutes to set up and take down, it's quite portable, you can set it up in various configurations and heights like parallettes - parallel bars - pull up bar 2m -2.3m height. You can use it to practice most bodyweight exercises, its a fat bar, so works your grip. You can set it up with or without the stabilising bars, hang rings off it. I keep mine set up in my bedroom (2m, just high enough to do hollow body chin ups or pull ups, i'm 5ft 9" tall) and can inverted hang, do backlevera or whatever but if i want extra height or to train outside i can take it down in a matter of minutes and set it up outside with the heigh extention bars so it stands at 2.3m tall, tall enough i have to jump up to the bar. Ive had it set up at half height to practice bar pull overs in my bedroom. Stable enough to do front and back levers, muscle up, toes to bar etc. Its wickedly versatile i love it. Best 250 quid i ever spent. N it all packs down into a little duffle bag, doesnt take up any space. Got one of these, gymnastic rings, a kettlebell and some resistance bands. And got given a bench and some cheap ass dumbbells and an exercise mat. Got a pretty good, complete home gym set up for like £300 And can all be put away quickly (5 mins) under my bed, if say i have to get the spare bed out if family stop over.
I love the idea about arms moving more in the cold :) also the clock in the end of the video - cool ! Thank you for a helpful content of your channel :)
Hi, I finally started exercising a few weeks ago and I always liked the idea of doing a handstand, handstand pushups, one arm handstand etc. I'd be very glad if you made a handstand video similar to your pull-up video
I have started walking my dog to a fenced in park and have tried to use the swing set for pullups, but my hands only grip around half of the circumference. I am going to try to figure something out to attach like rings or PVC and start a routine while the dog runs around off leash (when noone else is in the park). Thanks for the inspiration and reality check re: spending money!
As the man himself said in one of his pullup videos - you don't need to have a have a firm grip around a pull-up bar - in fact it can be discomforting as your palm will bind up and cause calluses. It can be a bit more challenging to start off - but as you progress you will transition to a proper grip nonetheless.
I think Rings are the best bang for bucks. They are the most versatile kit there is and they are easily portable. I take mine down to the local park and throw them up in a tree. Longer straps are good because they give you more options for hanging but they get a bit tedious to pack up. I made a reel for mine out of a skate board wheel. I would give resistance bands 2nd billing. They are versatile, portable and inexpensive.
recently tried Alpino peanut butter, and now it is my ultimate workout fuel! It is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, it keeps me satisfied for hours. Plus, it's pure peanut flavor without any guilt. Perfect for staying fit and enjoying every bite, workout sessions with good peanut butter and nutrition are equally important.
If you combine a*good* pull up bar and use it to mount rings you have a very good indoor working station. It allows you to do pull ups, dips and a lot of other exercises like skin the car.
Oddly, I came across doing pullups strictly by accident. I had an I beam in my basement and just started pulling. As a 56 year old this worked great for me. I now do 80 pullups as part of my exercise routine and now that I have gotten to that level I am looking online for more info, and here I am.
Whaaat!? 80 pull ups in one session. You're a beast. Find an open air bar and practice high pull ups and then move on to muscle ups. That'll keep you going for a while.
@@lord_haven1114 My session took me about 30 minutes, 3*12 pull ups, 6 minutes on rowing machine, 15 on elliptical, then 4*11.. I am 5'7 160 lbs so my body type suits pull ups.
Finally buying my yoga mat was a great investment for me. I have been meaning to do yoga for forever and finally just having that yoga mat laying around helped me to finally start. I unfortunately had an accident few days ago where I bruised my ribs so now everything hurts and I don't know how long I can't do any exercises because the doctor didn't say anything specific. I hope I can start in the first or second week of the new year after taking it easy for two or three weeks. Hopefully I don't lose motivation😩
@@SunshineState12 I don't feel like I am already that far in my fitness journey, I have only started working out regularly this year since July… but thanks for believing in me, it means a lot😭
Hampton you're one of my favorite content creators at the moment. Your vibe and the way you explain things is really inspirational, I've actually started to train with gymnastics rings this week following your advice. Best wishes and happy holidays!
the most dynamic pull up bar possible, the front loader of the tractor :P, and the bucket that should be on it as elevated push up right next to it. Realy fun to do it on the front of the tractor watching the headlights :), and can be elevated at any level up to 4m so even rings can be put on it too. Also can be used to do pushups on the top side when its put flatout. And can be lowered to the ground to increase the load
Maybe add a powerrack as the last tier, some even come with pull-up and dip station and it's great for scaling when you get to strong to make progress with your bodyweight for your legs for example. But I guess that's usually not the audience watching
Mh favorite fitness equipment: Two chairs (for things like horizontal pullups, horizontal chinups, dips, L-sit and many more) A backpack (for weighted exercises) And a stick (for assisted variations and the horizontal pullups)
i'm so glad there's a pullup bar at a playground just 2 km from my home. and the people are awesome! i got to know an 80 year old man who can still do a pullup. he helped me learning a circle/ felk swing (i dont know the thing where you spin around hte bar once).
Gymnastic rings have been my best investment thus far. They build muscle incredibly well, allow for different levels of training, are very portable, and allow me to train everywhere I want. Best 60 dollars I've spent
Tier 2 can be very dangerous if you dont do it perfectly. There is a high chance you will hit the back of your head if the stick slips, falls, breaks or any circumstances
I am from China, I operate the export of fitness equipment, I have seen too many customers with muscle strain on the Internet before, must protect their own body, understand their needs, do not come up to increase efforts, but also consider the quality of the body building equipment, the possibility of buying high quality and low price is not very high, but in my here at least to ensure quality products, you can visit my factory. We provide accurate targeting of fitness loving customers' real needs,
@@cahallo5964 then what do you recommend? I walk barefoot in my house and my feet hurt like crazy at the end of the day even with socks on since its hardwood
Little tip: If you need weights gather some plastic (water)bottles and fill them up with tabwater. Afterwards put them in a backpack and do push ups or squats with it on your back. if the backpack has a handle do biceps curls as well.
I'd buy a kettlebell, and this, in fact, what I did, and I'm really happy about that! This is the most underrated equipment ever in my opinion. However it can be not as cheap as you assume, but still it's worthy 100% and pays off for every dollar costs! Really, the most underrated stuff in terms of popularity among equipment, but on of the most cost efficient (the most, actually, imo) thing you can ever find! Definitely suggest it to everyone who wants to have a progress, to keep up in the good shape, or who wants to improve stamina and strength. Very unique and useful stuff!
I started simply working out at home for free (we already had a bench) then after I've got good with rowing (which I did with a partvis between 2 chairs, but eventually it damaged the top of the chairs) I got a pullup bar. It's for 1 year or 2 since I have that and only now I ordered a dip bar for 30$ and resistance bands for 18$ because I want to go deeper in calisthenics (like front lever and planche) and I couldn't do dips because of the lack of parallel or any bars at home. I'm pretty happy with that pullup bar, it's nearly like the one you showed in the video but unfortunately I don't know how much it costed. I don't think anybody needs more than that to workout, the dress can be whatever you want I wear simply shorts and t-shirt and it's fine.
I recommend going to parks with trees that have sturdy branches hanging, you can do pull ups over there, and some parks have pull up bars built there already
Pull up tower (200) and dip station were one of our faves. We also got a weight set that has hand holes so you can use the olympic weights as awkward kettleballs. 😅
You can get a really nice power tower for under $200 if you have space for it. I got one with all the bells and whistles on sale for $125, just keep searching!
Hi all, I (25M) really want to build the habit of working out consistently and build muscle. I've tried numerous times and failed everytime. I'm very lean (65kg) and tall (6"3 / 191cm). My BMI is 17.88 - Underweight. I used to have some muscle as a kid doing karate and then since being a teenager have never properly worked out until my 20s where I tried the gym a few times as well as calisthenics. Nothing has stuck. I don't particularly like going to the gym - the journey to and from & doing everything takes me ages. Sometimes I'm there for 1-2 hours (I know it should be shorter than this but I try to take my time with correct form and do 5-8 different exercises). But I also just genuinely don't super vibe with gym atmosphere (probably feel a bit out place/uncomfortable). Anyways, I tried to do calisthenic this year and start with a very basic light daily workout of press-ups, sit-ups, squats & a plank. Surprisingly, I managed to stick with this for the best part, even whilst travelling for months. Back at home now and I believe the way to go is home workouts. I want to buy gear but don't want to do the classic of buying weights etc and then not doing it. Home workouts because I think it'll be easier to keep the habit without the excuse of "I don't wanna go to the gym". It'll also mean everything takes less time (though I still need some advice of how long my workouts should be). Also don't get me wrong btw. I kinda enjoy working out especially like bench press. I'm not great but it's interesting to try my hand at something I'm not good at. I know correct form is very important but also wonder if I get too hung up on it too. As someone wrote on a post, "at the end of day, anything's better than nothing". 'Consistently something' beats 'occasional perfection', I'd bet. Wondering if anyone can give me basic home workouts I can do. Aim to build muscle and change my body. Interested in using anything but at a thought: Barbell (Bench press) Dumbbells Kettle weights? Resistance bands???? Lastly, I'm a big fan of calisthenics and if you think Bodyweight exercises are the way for me then I'm also down for that! I just feel like bench press is a big one to miss out on and using weights has a ton of benefits. Maybe I do both who knows. Also dietary advice would be helpful too as I was once told it's 90% diet. Diet & consistency I reckon are the two main things. My diet isn't great and I probably regularly miss macros like protein. Any advice here would be helpful? Anyway, that's me! Thanks for taking the time to read! ❤
Didnt read the enitre thing, but here is a tip for readability while writing a message/comment. Do not type like this :) While it might seem as you are doing others a favor by spacing more, it makes your message look intimidating thus less people will read it (i.e it looks like an entire paragraph)
What you should buy really depends on what kind of excercizes you'd like to do and I strongly recomend doing excercizes that you enjoy. If you like running, get running shoes. If you like basketball, buy a basketball and maybe a hoop if you dont have a public one available. I have a yoga mat because I like yoga, a jingly hip scarf for belly dancing because it makes dancing more fun, and hiking shoes for hiking which I love (its important to have proper foot wear for hiking in certain places). No matter what you're doing, you're going to need water so buying a waterbottle is probably a good idea for everyone. I use 1 liter nalgenes because they're dishwasher safe.
I am so sorry i tried to buy your rings to support you but the shipping cost to Australia was actually more than double the cost, otherwise i would have bought them immediately. Nonetheless I love you and thank you for working on these videos as it has helped me so much in my life
Adjustable dumbbells, I go the NordicTrack, a pull up bar that hangs around the door. Also bands, which I use with bands to allow me to safely do wide pull ups. My issue with trying to use rings is having a place to set them up. I travel and so basically in low end hotels that have no space. I do really like the shamrock triple gym pull up bar from Amazon which is very easy to store since it folds flat and even can be broken into two pieces.
Highly recommend the Gymnastics rings and the book Overcoming Gravity by Steven Low. Their highly versatile and the book teaches how to set up workouts and scaleable exercises. I've been working out (military) but honestly I buy athletic clothes (like a pack of 5 shirts or 5 shorts) just so I' m not wearing out my other clothes.
Very informative, but I am also surprised dumbbells weren't here. More I think about it the more I can kinda see why since their main use would be for arms or slightly elevated push-ups. Definitely worth revisiting

Another stat for anyone wondering: My lat pulldown went from 80lbs for 10 reps to 120lbs for 10 reps while I was training for pullups/chinups
Congrats man! If you can do one consistently, you'll eventually be able to 2 and 3 and so on. I got a joist chin up bar for christmas and have been working towards 10 too.
Yes you will bro never give up
Congrats, that’s a fantastic feeling!
Bro doing 8 at 160 kg is fucking insane what the hell
Resistance bands would have been a great for $20, you can usually get a set of resistance bands which allow for different exercises. You can do curls, overhead press, lateral raises, tricep pushdowns, face pulls, literally so many different exercises are available, with a low risk of injury.

Hampton's advice on 0$ homemade gym ring helps me tremendously. After 3 months, now I can do 7 clean pull-ups. And I absolutely a agree with him that we don't need any money to start working out.

And now I have been running every day for 2 weeks. Just do it!
great job man. Good thing about fitness is that it is accessible. No amount of fancy equipment will make up for lack of effort and consistency
I was in exactly the same position at the start of this year, and good job! But be careful not to overdo it, especially if you're a bit overweight and just starting out with running. I ran every day for three or four weeks pretty much non-stop and ended up with shin-splints so bad i had to stop for longer than I would have liked. Listen to your body, and good luck!
@@kieranderuyter3705 Check out videos on running form. My whole life, I'd try running and get shin splints. Come to realize it wasn't my weight, it was my running form. Mid-forefoot instead of hell strike, shorter stride, etc. Look up RUclips videos on it, made a huge difference for me.
@@DaniLongyeah definitely, forgot to mention that I made those changes as well which helped for sure!
Woot! Remember to rest too! Runner’s injuries are no joke 😵💫
NOTE: I meant 5mm on the yoga mats. Not 10mm. Sorry.

We went to war and back just for you, Hampton😁
What up Hampton
hello Hampton, do you know any solid workouts for swimmers? thanks you, and merry christmas 🎄🎁
Just bought the pull up bar I'm sure this will help a lot starting workout with your help on the 20th😁
I am a CPT and I love your content unlike most "fitness" people online you are very honest and not just doing it to sell a product. Great work Hampton
Hampton, you have over 2 million subscribers while achieving something that is actually rare in internet popularity.
We LIKE you as a person.
you're the one fitness instructor I can stand, thank you for being so down to earth and humble
You are such a genuine and honest person. You don't even want to sell us your fitness gear. Instead, you point out that you don't mind where we get it from as long as we do get decent stuff. Always so helpful. It's easy to see why people like you and your content so much.
I love the raw unfiltered personality that comes through. It doesn't seem staged and a lot of times it feels like we are figuring it out together not like you are lecturing me. Thank you, Hampton.
Love your honesty by talking about needing only your own body, and maybe a pull up bar, to do all the exercises you need. I'll keep watching.
I don't even watch this channel for the fitness. 90% of this content I already now.
I just watch it because I enjoy seeing someone trustworthy on the internet who doesn't try to get something from me and that is so rare.
Hearing and seeing him makes my day already.
Wow. This guy is so refreshing to listen to. All he really cares about is to help other people to get fit and healthy. Everyone, not just those who can afford to purchase expensive fitness products! People should support him as much as they can. I nominate him for Fitness sainthood!
Always love your videos, thank you for a year of high quality content being so very wholesome.
Thank you for being here!
Amen
Thanks Hampton for the amazing videos!
Long story short...Always enjoyed your channel but NEVER engaged in very healthy activities. 46 yr. Old mom of 3. smoked 20+ years. 10+ Years of feeling sick, overly medicated 10+ years with Gabapentin for joint stiffness?!
July 2022 to Oct. 2022 health/gut episodes. Finally they clued into my gallbladder...removed 7 days ago. 13 day hospital stay. Quit smoking and LOVE it! Hampton, I am now ready to take responsibility for my own health and get healthy. I can't wait to start actually learning the things you share. I even have playlists somehow made for this day! Thank you so much for the amazing content. You're very non-judgmental and genuine approach are something I know many of us appreciate!
F. L.
Thanks so much for being here! I read your story and I'm cheering for your progress!
I have a yoga mat, a pull-up bar, a 15 lbs. dumbbell, a 20 lbs. dumbbell, a 25 lbs. dumbbell, and a 30 lbs. dumbbell. I built up that collection slowly over the course of a year or more. It has all served me well so far.
Same. I bought 5kg dumb bells first. After i developed a proper habit of working out, i slowly started buying more stuff like yoga mat followed by pull up bar followed by gym rings
Your narrations work as potent catalysts for those who have fallen off the exercise wagon. Thank you.
Great list, he always keeps it real, but no mention of a notebook! The first piece of equipment, to plan and track what's being done.
"You have a body, the floor and gravity." *Let the bodies hit the floor creeps up*
Jokes aside Hampton, I am working out in these holidays and hopefully can extend that when regular life continues again. Thanks for all (the guiding) you do and happy Holidays!
I just wanted to say thank you- I love your energy and positivity X
I would recommend at sub $100 a set of dip bars instead of the full pullup rack. They take up far less room, can be used for horizontal pulls, dips, pushups and are easily portable or tucked into a closet.
Also, for $20-50 I bought 2 sets of resistance bands. full Loops and single lengths with door anchors. Fantastic for really isolating muscles. Sometimes you don't want to work full compound movements and you just want to target a weak spot. Or you might hurt a joint but still want to exercise without stressing that area.
very enlightening video man
Hey Hampton, I would HIGHLY recommend you add parallettes to this list (the wooden sticks), they are one of the best investments I've ever made in my calisthenics journey. They are very easy to travel with and super useful if you have wrist pain
hey i was actually looking for something in this video that helps me with wrist pain! are there any specific ones which you would recommend? or anything you should look out for?
@@gollelp34 Hampton did make a video on DIY parallettes if you want to try making your own. not pretty, but they do the job ^^
ruclips.net/video/LS9Ez8NQ9EU/видео.html
@@gollelp34 they all pretty much function the same, you can get ones they are very far off the ground and some that are close to the ground. Either way they will get your hands into a more comfortable position if you have pain putting them flat on the ground
@@gollelp34 I personally have wooden ones, but you can get metal or PVC pipe as well. I prefer wood for the feel and durability and weight
@@gollelp34 just make sure they're long enough so they're more stable, they should fit more than just your hand
Your answers were great; what I read in consumer reports was that the most effective training equipment is usually a good pair of walking shoes and to walk for 3 weeks about 30 minutes every day because once you get used to that then you're more likely to to miss walking as a routine. At this point you can integrate some equipment into your routine because once you hit 6 weeks to 2 months you're most likely to continue the routine. I have several friends who have stationary bikes and treadmills at home which now serve as clothes hangers. Some of this equipment was $500 but some of them was over $2,700.
My list of first things to buy... #1... handstand parallettes. Use them for push-ups, L-sit, V-sit, and (obviously) handstands.
These little things will save your wrists and keep your hands healthy enough to train longer. Also gives you a deeper push-up.
Thing #2... wrist wraps. Do about 1/4 of your training without wraps, but having them can really help. The joints will ache before the muscles.
Thing #3... doorframe pull-up bar.
Thing #4... Rings with adjustable straps.
Total = around $120 and you are in good shape to train.
You can use two chairs to train your dip "prisoner style" until you get your rings up.
Dips are much harder on rings, I can do like 16 on chairs, but on rings it's maybe 6.
+1 for yoga mats. If you have bad knees or are overweight the yoca mat is the best thing you can have. Plus you don't want to use carpets for those sweaty excercises.
Whatever someone buys... remember to have a purpose for the thing before you buy it or you end up buying lots of useless stuff. I've bought some equipment with the idea that it sounds or looks interesting but I haven't really used them. I found a really good deal on an elliptical machine and bought one some time ago. It is a nice machine but I just find it utterly boring to use. The mistake I made was to buy it with the idea that I'll figure out a way to add it to my routines. A new elliptical machine can easily be multiple hundred dollars/euros and even though I paid a fraction of that it still feels like wasted money. And wasted space. It is not a small unit.
A good purchase I made was a pullup bar. Before I even got one I had already a program to do. I knew how I was going to use it. All I needed was to get one and I can start.
Whenever you want to buy something, make a list of excercises that require that thing. Then look into if you can make those same excercises with the things you already have. If you can't then it might be a good purchase. But if you can already do everything and still want to buy it then it is possible you are buying something with the idea that not having that thing that is preventing you from getting better. And getting that thing will make you better. It won't. It is the work you put in that makes you better. Buying things won't get you any nearer to your goals.
Your voice is so calming... I melt with every video of you no matter the topic. And about this video, you reminded me that I need to start exercise and there is no excuse for me. I always made excuses such as exercises clothes or time but you made them disappear. How do you exercise with jeans on lol. Where do you find the motivation to exercise at the end of the day. Your videos all answered these. Thanks!
I just want to say I love you Hampton and thank for your content, you're helping me so much in many ways!
The first item I would recommend, especially since they’re usually so cheap are Resistance bands. The ones in a set with door anchor included. Those are honestly the best (value to cost wise) especially if they’re decently made
So true, i am very happy with my set of resistance bands. They are so versatile
The stick solution was awesome.
I bought a metal bar to put on top of 2 closets and it works perfectly.
Thanks brother
I appreciate this video and you, Hampton. Thanks for always being real yet positive.
About yoga, not sure why people in the community don’t like it but - a lot of yoga “poses” (they’re called asanas) combine calisthenic styles with stretching, especially the ones that are not absolute beginner. So anyone who likes calisthenics and disses yoga simply isn’t aware. For eg. the full bridge in calisthenics? That is actually the chakra (wheel) asana in yoga. Lying down leg raise? It’s the first part of the hala (plow) asana, which is actually more intense than just the leg raise. Yoga has different styles where the length of time spent in one asana, or the speed with which you change from one asana to the next can vary, so you can do what suits your ability and goals best. My tennis academy when I was a child used it as a cooldown exercise for us, so it’s versatile. It’s also a really mindful way of exercising where breathing is extremely important, and if you learn it the proper way, each asana has a spiritual significance. People who don’t like it, in my knowledge, are those whose goals are usually achieving visible hypertrophy i.e. gaining muscle mass. Yoga is more of a holistic thing so that’s not the focus. But also, it is something an absolutely unfit person could take up easily and make gradual progress in, first going through easy asanas then on to tougher ones as they become more flexible and strong - just like calisthenics. Sorry if I sound like an advertisement for yoga (hah!) but I really would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Also, it’s from my country so I like to correct misinformed ideas about it.
I've really liked your shorts about using household furniture to exercise. I live in a very tiny flat - only 24qm - and finding even floor space is difficult. My resolution for 2022 is to figure out how to exercise inside. I had a great routine going when it was warm enough for me to spend a lot of time outdoors. I need to get creative.
Something that I do when seeing something, that I want: Putting it on a list and earning it by doing my workouts. This way I get motivated and I get time to thing wether I really should invest in it or leave it.
Its always good vibes whenever I watch you man. Nice vid 👌
A free standing pull up bar (power tower) i can recommend is the Pull up mate 2. Had mine for a couple months now and wish i got it sooner instead if spending money on doorframe pull up bars or compromising/improvising hanging my rings from the loft hatch or swing sets. You can buy it for £170 or a bit more for various accessories like the height extension kit.
It literally takes minutes to set up and take down, it's quite portable, you can set it up in various configurations and heights like parallettes - parallel bars - pull up bar 2m -2.3m height. You can use it to practice most bodyweight exercises, its a fat bar, so works your grip. You can set it up with or without the stabilising bars, hang rings off it.
I keep mine set up in my bedroom (2m, just high enough to do hollow body chin ups or pull ups, i'm 5ft 9" tall) and can inverted hang, do backlevera or whatever but if i want extra height or to train outside i can take it down in a matter of minutes and set it up outside with the heigh extention bars so it stands at 2.3m tall, tall enough i have to jump up to the bar.
Ive had it set up at half height to practice bar pull overs in my bedroom.
Stable enough to do front and back levers, muscle up, toes to bar etc.
Its wickedly versatile i love it. Best 250 quid i ever spent. N it all packs down into a little duffle bag, doesnt take up any space.
Got one of these, gymnastic rings, a kettlebell and some resistance bands. And got given a bench and some cheap ass dumbbells and an exercise mat.
Got a pretty good, complete home gym set up for like £300 And can all be put away quickly (5 mins) under my bed, if say i have to get the spare bed out if family stop over.
I love the idea about arms moving more in the cold :) also the clock in the end of the video - cool ! Thank you for a helpful content of your channel :)
Hi, I finally started exercising a few weeks ago and I always liked the idea of doing a handstand, handstand pushups, one arm handstand etc. I'd be very glad if you made a handstand video similar to your pull-up video
I have started walking my dog to a fenced in park and have tried to use the swing set for pullups, but my hands only grip around half of the circumference. I am going to try to figure something out to attach like rings or PVC and start a routine while the dog runs around off leash (when noone else is in the park). Thanks for the inspiration and reality check re: spending money!
As the man himself said in one of his pullup videos - you don't need to have a have a firm grip around a pull-up bar - in fact it can be discomforting as your palm will bind up and cause calluses. It can be a bit more challenging to start off - but as you progress you will transition to a proper grip nonetheless.
I think Rings are the best bang for bucks. They are the most versatile kit there is and they are easily portable. I take mine down to the local park and throw them up in a tree. Longer straps are good because they give you more options for hanging but they get a bit tedious to pack up. I made a reel for mine out of a skate board wheel. I would give resistance bands 2nd billing. They are versatile, portable and inexpensive.
Another awesome and positive video. A jump rope is very handy and can be very inexpensive.
recently tried Alpino peanut butter, and now it is my ultimate workout fuel! It is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, it keeps me satisfied for hours. Plus, it's pure peanut flavor without any guilt. Perfect for staying fit and enjoying every bite, workout sessions with good peanut butter and nutrition are equally important.
I started with the following: my body, gravity and motivation/discipline. I later added a pullup bar in the garden with gym rings
You are not boring kid. Just determine teach the public how to shop intelligently. Merry Christmas Hampton and spouse 💯💪😎
I recently bought a pair of gymnastics rings, 110% worth it.
If you combine a*good* pull up bar and use it to mount rings you have a very good indoor working station. It allows you to do pull ups, dips and a lot of other exercises like skin the car.
Always some solid advice!
Oddly, I came across doing pullups strictly by accident. I had an I beam in my basement and just started pulling. As a 56 year old this worked great for me. I now do 80 pullups as part of my exercise routine and now that I have gotten to that level I am looking online for more info, and here I am.
Whaaat!? 80 pull ups in one session. You're a beast. Find an open air bar and practice high pull ups and then move on to muscle ups. That'll keep you going for a while.
Okay let’s see a video. I can’t imagine anyone doing 80 pull-ups in one session. Unless you mean a day and you do them over hours at 10-15 at a time.
@@lord_haven1114 My session took me about 30 minutes, 3*12 pull ups, 6 minutes on rowing machine, 15 on elliptical, then 4*11.. I am 5'7 160 lbs so my body type suits pull ups.
I highly recommend Gym rings, so easy to use.
My exercise mat is literally a tent mat that goes underneath your sleeping bag and it works great
Finally buying my yoga mat was a great investment for me. I have been meaning to do yoga for forever and finally just having that yoga mat laying around helped me to finally start.
I unfortunately had an accident few days ago where I bruised my ribs so now everything hurts and I don't know how long I can't do any exercises because the doctor didn't say anything specific. I hope I can start in the first or second week of the new year after taking it easy for two or three weeks. Hopefully I don't lose motivation😩
I'm sure that you'll be itching to workout once you're allowed to, especially after not working out for a couple weeks you start to get stir crazy lol
@@SunshineState12 I don't feel like I am already that far in my fitness journey, I have only started working out regularly this year since July… but thanks for believing in me, it means a lot😭
@@captainkacke1651 I believe in you :D
Hampton you're one of my favorite content creators at the moment. Your vibe and the way you explain things is really inspirational, I've actually started to train with gymnastics rings this week following your advice. Best wishes and happy holidays!
Appreciate these Hybrid constant upload yes much so
the most dynamic pull up bar possible, the front loader of the tractor :P, and the bucket that should be on it as elevated push up right next to it.
Realy fun to do it on the front of the tractor watching the headlights :), and can be elevated at any level up to 4m so even rings can be put on it too. Also can be used to do pushups on the top side when its put flatout. And can be lowered to the ground to increase the load
Maybe add a powerrack as the last tier, some even come with pull-up and dip station and it's great for scaling when you get to strong to make progress with your bodyweight for your legs for example. But I guess that's usually not the audience watching
Mh favorite fitness equipment:
Two chairs (for things like horizontal pullups, horizontal chinups, dips, L-sit and many more)
A backpack (for weighted exercises)
And a stick (for assisted variations and the horizontal pullups)
i'm so glad there's a pullup bar at a playground just 2 km from my home. and the people are awesome! i got to know an 80 year old man who can still do a pullup. he helped me learning a circle/ felk swing (i dont know the thing where you spin around hte bar once).
Gymnastic rings have been my best investment thus far. They build muscle incredibly well, allow for different levels of training, are very portable, and allow me to train everywhere I want. Best 60 dollars I've spent
Tier 2 can be very dangerous if you dont do it perfectly. There is a high chance you will hit the back of your head if the stick slips, falls, breaks or any circumstances
I have 32 lbs left to lose to meet my big goal. Obviously gonna try to do 99% of it in the next year, but I WILL get there.
I love how you make working out viable for everyone.
I am from China, I operate the export of fitness equipment, I have seen too many customers with muscle strain on the Internet before, must protect their own body, understand their needs, do not come up to increase efforts, but also consider the quality of the body building equipment, the possibility of buying high quality and low price is not very high, but in my here at least to ensure quality products, you can visit my factory. We provide accurate targeting of fitness loving customers' real needs,
Wishing you and your family had a wonderful Christmas weekend! We're looking forward to an incredible 2022!
Thank you so much for this advice so good ❤love your channel so much please keep them coming ❤❤
It’s nice getting fitness advice from a guy who isn’t clearly roided out his mind and claiming it takes a week to get fit
Thank you for this video! :) it wasn't boring Hampton! :) I appreciate you giving us advice and helping us sift through the workout equipment.
I'd think the first thing to buy would be a good pair of shoes. Nice support, good fitting, etc.
Good one! Though I personally just go barefoot or wear flipflops haha.
wear as little shoeware as possible, it will give you joint issues in your old age and it will kill your foot mobility.
@@cahallo5964 source?
@@Elijah._.7 my own experience/other people with the same struggle
@@cahallo5964 then what do you recommend? I walk barefoot in my house and my feet hurt like crazy at the end of the day even with socks on since its hardwood
Little tip: If you need weights gather some plastic (water)bottles and fill them up with tabwater. Afterwards put them in a backpack and do push ups or squats with it on your back. if the backpack has a handle do biceps curls as well.
My personal recommandation :
pull-up bar + a strong elastic band (70lbs) to ease into doing pull-ups.
I wanted to buy a pull-up tower and a yoga mat anyways, and now you just confirmed my decision
Some other good investments i found. Rotating push up grips
Thats the exact power tower I bought. Excited to see your review on it as I'm setting mine up tomorrow so extra advice on it would be great
I'd buy a kettlebell, and this, in fact, what I did, and I'm really happy about that! This is the most underrated equipment ever in my opinion. However it can be not as cheap as you assume, but still it's worthy 100% and pays off for every dollar costs!
Really, the most underrated stuff in terms of popularity among equipment, but on of the most cost efficient (the most, actually, imo) thing you can ever find! Definitely suggest it to everyone who wants to have a progress, to keep up in the good shape, or who wants to improve stamina and strength. Very unique and useful stuff!
If you're worried about price you might be able to make or buy a concrete kettle bell mold.
What can you do with a kettle?
Hampton is the true brother ever 🥺❤️
I love this guy's content👌🏾...thanks bruv 🤝
Perfect timing, I kept a few pullup bars, towers and dipstations in my wishlist but couldnt choose... Guess its the tower then, thanks!
Thank you Hampton for your suggestion. 😁
love the idea of getting cheaper alternatives. thanks bro
I started simply working out at home for free (we already had a bench) then after I've got good with rowing (which I did with a partvis between 2 chairs, but eventually it damaged the top of the chairs) I got a pullup bar. It's for 1 year or 2 since I have that and only now I ordered a dip bar for 30$ and resistance bands for 18$ because I want to go deeper in calisthenics (like front lever and planche) and I couldn't do dips because of the lack of parallel or any bars at home. I'm pretty happy with that pullup bar, it's nearly like the one you showed in the video but unfortunately I don't know how much it costed. I don't think anybody needs more than that to workout, the dress can be whatever you want I wear simply shorts and t-shirt and it's fine.
I bought a jump rope and elastic bands. Cheap, versatile amd portable.
I recommend going to parks with trees that have sturdy branches hanging, you can do pull ups over there, and some parks have pull up bars built there already
Pull up tower (200) and dip station were one of our faves. We also got a weight set that has hand holes so you can use the olympic weights as awkward kettleballs. 😅
Thanks. Been subbed for a while, good advice.
I actually have the power tower you are gonna be reviewing, and even though I put it together wrong, it works great. 10/10
I use my backpack or a bag and fill up with soda bottles with water. A cheap 20$ pull up bar is kinda needed tho.
You can get a really nice power tower for under $200 if you have space for it. I got one with all the bells and whistles on sale for $125, just keep searching!
The stick for pullups is amazing recommendation, because you can do many shoulder mobility a recovery exercises with it as well
Love the wall watch!
Just finished using some fantastic fitness rings and saw this video!
Hi all,
I (25M) really want to build the habit of working out consistently and build muscle.
I've tried numerous times and failed everytime.
I'm very lean (65kg) and tall (6"3 / 191cm). My BMI is 17.88 - Underweight.
I used to have some muscle as a kid doing karate and then since being a teenager have never properly worked out until my 20s where I tried the gym a few times as well as calisthenics.
Nothing has stuck. I don't particularly like going to the gym - the journey to and from & doing everything takes me ages. Sometimes I'm there for 1-2 hours (I know it should be shorter than this but I try to take my time with correct form and do 5-8 different exercises). But I also just genuinely don't super vibe with gym atmosphere (probably feel a bit out place/uncomfortable).
Anyways, I tried to do calisthenic this year and start with a very basic light daily workout of press-ups, sit-ups, squats & a plank.
Surprisingly, I managed to stick with this for the best part, even whilst travelling for months.
Back at home now and I believe the way to go is home workouts. I want to buy gear but don't want to do the classic of buying weights etc and then not doing it.
Home workouts because I think it'll be easier to keep the habit without the excuse of "I don't wanna go to the gym". It'll also mean everything takes less time (though I still need some advice of how long my workouts should be).
Also don't get me wrong btw. I kinda enjoy working out especially like bench press. I'm not great but it's interesting to try my hand at something I'm not good at. I know correct form is very important but also wonder if I get too hung up on it too. As someone wrote on a post, "at the end of day, anything's better than nothing".
'Consistently something' beats 'occasional perfection', I'd bet.
Wondering if anyone can give me basic home workouts I can do.
Aim to build muscle and change my body.
Interested in using anything but at a thought:
Barbell (Bench press)
Dumbbells
Kettle weights?
Resistance bands????
Lastly, I'm a big fan of calisthenics and if you think Bodyweight exercises are the way for me then I'm also down for that!
I just feel like bench press is a big one to miss out on and using weights has a ton of benefits.
Maybe I do both who knows.
Also dietary advice would be helpful too as I was once told it's 90% diet.
Diet & consistency I reckon are the two main things.
My diet isn't great and I probably regularly miss macros like protein.
Any advice here would be helpful?
Anyway, that's me!
Thanks for taking the time to read! ❤

While it might seem as you are doing others a favor by spacing more, it makes your message look intimidating thus less people will read it (i.e it looks like an entire paragraph)
@@Simonnnnnnnify it is more than an entire paragraph 😂
What you should buy really depends on what kind of excercizes you'd like to do and I strongly recomend doing excercizes that you enjoy. If you like running, get running shoes. If you like basketball, buy a basketball and maybe a hoop if you dont have a public one available. I have a yoga mat because I like yoga, a jingly hip scarf for belly dancing because it makes dancing more fun, and hiking shoes for hiking which I love (its important to have proper foot wear for hiking in certain places). No matter what you're doing, you're going to need water so buying a waterbottle is probably a good idea for everyone. I use 1 liter nalgenes because they're dishwasher safe.
I am so sorry i tried to buy your rings to support you but the shipping cost to Australia was actually more than double the cost, otherwise i would have bought them immediately. Nonetheless I love you and thank you for working on these videos as it has helped me so much in my life
u are my inspiration u made me start calisthenic
Adjustable dumbbells, I go the NordicTrack, a pull up bar that hangs around the door. Also bands, which I use with bands to allow me to safely do wide pull ups. My issue with trying to use rings is having a place to set them up. I travel and so basically in low end hotels that have no space. I do really like the shamrock triple gym pull up bar from Amazon which is very easy to store since it folds flat and even can be broken into two pieces.
Thank you so much Hampton
I don't see a power tower review after this video.
Highly recommend the Gymnastics rings and the book Overcoming Gravity by Steven Low. Their highly versatile and the book teaches how to set up workouts and scaleable exercises.
I've been working out (military) but honestly I buy athletic clothes (like a pack of 5 shirts or 5 shorts) just so I' m not wearing out my other clothes.
I love the bird clock. Great content too.
Very informative, but I am also surprised dumbbells weren't here. More I think about it the more I can kinda see why since their main use would be for arms or slightly elevated push-ups. Definitely worth revisiting
