🎄FestiveMedals🎄 Dec 2020 10:18pm, 26 Dec 2020 19124 posts	0 🎄FestiveMedals🎄 I bought this book amazon.co.uk following the 12 days of Fetchmas challenge. I enjoyed doing the daily bodyweight exercises but had to learn how to do each one properly (isn't YouTube great!). I'm intending to continue throughout 2021, learning along the way and getting stronger. If anyone else is at the same stage, join me here so we can help and encourage each other.

🎄FestiveMedals🎄 Dec 2020 9:12am, 27 Dec 2020 19125 posts	0 🎄FestiveMedals🎄 Hi Susie 😁 I’m going to read the book today and the start tomorrow, possibly with week 1 of the beginner’s plan at the back of the book.

Homeless Kodo Dec 2020 9:55am, 27 Dec 2020 1326 posts	0 Homeless Kodo I dip in and out of bodyweight training & just restarted playing yesterday. I’ve not come across this book before & may have a look. I tend towards Al & Danny Kavadlo, Al’s got a free app with limited training on that you can upgrade for limited amounts of time for a few quid or for about £10 for a lifetime. Al’s all about fun, Danny’s a bit intense. School of Calisthenics schoolofcalisthenics.com are 2 lads from Nottingham that are UKSCA registered & are a lot of fun. Tim work’s with elite Paralympians. They used to do a free intro course, I couldn’t find it when I just looked, but you can get 7 days free access to their site as a taster.

SusiesueHarp Dec 2020 10:44am, 27 Dec 2020 1837 posts	0 SusiesueHarp I’ve skim read the book. I’ll be using it for inspiration of how to create a balanced plan for me rather than follow the program to the letter. Good to have a reference for what specific muscles are targeted by each exercise
