Welcome to this follow along calisthenics routine.
I have created this beginner-friendly calisthenics workout to help you build strength, control, and confidence for the elbow lever and L-sit.
We’ll focus on core engagement, shoulder stability, and foundational holds using accessible progressions - no experience required. To get full benefits out of it, make sure to repeat 2-3 times a week and soon you will be able to hold your first L-sit and Elbow Lever!

Perfect if you’re just starting calisthenics or want structured practice on static skills.
Follow along at your own pace and rest when needed.

Let us know in the comments how far you made it!

I think you are the only one youtuber who teaches calisthenics right and not boring and not similar to other. Keep going

okay I’m not one to usually find a workout and stick to it, but ever since finding your channel I am so amazed by all of your workouts, they are designed to perfection. these are the perfect exercises and they are so challenging, that’s why I love them! i always wanted to get an L sit so I’m going to keep practising this workout and giving updates. 2-3 times a week.

30/8/2026 - first time doing workout! I’m not working on the elbow lever yet, mainly L sit, but I loved it so much! i will be back ✅

Your literally the best person on YouTube for learning calisthenics, especially if your a women like me! Your videos are so easy to follow along and not at all overwhelming. Most workouts I tried for beginners had exercises that were literally impossible to do from a beginner stance. You and your videos are the best!!

Yay you posted! Excited to try this one. Definitely prefer this type of follow along videos where you’re explaining it as you do the exercises. Would love to see yoga flows with calisthenics! Like a yoga flow with elbow lever as the peak pose 🤎🤍 Also love your new background setup!
