Bodyweight
A comprehensive 5-phase bodyweight fitness program from Reddit's r/bodyweightfitness community. Designed for complete beginners, it progressively builds strength, mobility, and body control over months of training. Each phase introduces new skills and increases difficulty, eventually transitioning to a split routine with dedicated strength and mobility days.

The foundation phase focusing on basic mobility, flexibility, and introducing fundamental movement patterns. Includes wrist prep, bodyline drills, and basic strength exercises. Spend 2-4 weeks here before progressing.
Builds on Phase 1 with increased volume and introduces paired exercise sets. Focus on developing pulling and pushing strength with rows and push-ups. Continue mobility work. Spend 4-6 weeks here.
Intermediate phase introducing skill work like L-sits and handstand preparation. Strength training advances to harder progressions. This phase can last 2-3 months as you build toward the split routine.
