This man has to be You Tube's 'Master Ring Guru'. I am in my 60s and not overweight but I still watched this out of a sense of 'duty'. The restrained video releases by Tao are enough to keep me inspired, without the information-overload of most other fitness training channels. Although very late to training with gymnastic rings, for me it has truly been life-changing and I relish every minute of every session!
It's always great to see a new vizio from you Tao. i've started working out again after 2 years and i must say in just 2 months of training i'm almost at the same level of strenght i was before which is crazy to me. We need more videos from you man, gotta keep your muchachos motivated ✌
Consistency, consistency and then more consistency. In your training, in your diet and in your rest. Infact; don't think of it as training as much as a lifestyle. Something long-term. Do this and you will succeed...
Hola Tao! I've been watching your videos for a good while and I even bought some rings to change the way I do calisthenics. For the past two weeks, I've been training on doing dips with just my body weight and two days ago, I finally managed to do ring dips for the first time! (Managed to do 15 reps in total!) I couldn't have done this without your help! Many thanks, keep up the good work!
Since I had my injury I haven't been able to do much calisthenics cause I lost most of my strength buh I been tryna get back at it using the basics... Thanks for the advice tho good to see u back at it
I started calisthenics with a BMI of 29 1,5 years ago. As a 50 year old who had never exercised or worked out, I hardly did one push up on my first day. Today I can do 25 push ups in a row with perfect form and I'm progressing through the harder variations. As for BMI it is still the same but I don't care about the diet. I'm just focusing on getting stronger and stronger, which in turn results in an athletic body (maybe taking longer though).
Man, I love all your innuendoes implying fat jokes. It’s fine cuz I’m really fat. That’s why I’m here. Great video. I never had any idea about calisthenics or exercise rings. You broke it down so simply. Beautiful. Thanks. I’ll check out your app.
I haven't started callisthenics yet but I went from 94kg to 82kg of weight so may give it a go (I was walking and doing cardio and watching nutrition). I think once I go under 80kg callisthenics would become a lot easier for me!
Hello. Thank you so much for making this videos. I have been doing research about Calisthenics and I want to start Calisthenics. I am overweight for my height though. I am going to start with modified push ups, squats, resistance band rows, step ups, marching in place and other exercises I can do right now until I lose weight and maybe a couple years from now, I can start doing advanced Calisthenics exercises. I wouldn’t dare try a Pull-up right now. Lol Peace and love 🤣🤣🤣
The "You're healthy at every size" part made me crack up. I've lost 17 pounds in 3 months before. I started to train bodybuilding with dumbbells at home for a few months, but saw no difference in my appearance or strength because I was still loosing weight. I've now decided to stay at about 12-15% body fat and start calisthenics. This video really helped me learn more about calisthenics. Thank you.
Planks are a great start. Can progress to harder ab routines once you master them Ever experiment with intermittent fasting as a way to control caloric intake?
The fact of the matter is...if you're on the smaller side it's easier to do exercise, you’ll even be more motivated to go exercise. Compare a fat lazy person who wants to start working out vs a slim lazy person who wants to start working out...who do you think is going to have an easier time & likely to make good progress??
What's up Muchacho, I have a question regarding sleep. I'm a firefighter and sometimes we don't get to sleep through the night peacefully. I get 2 days off between my shifts and I make sure to get 8+hours of sleep and I train hard and eat alot of protein will I still be able to get jacked?
I'm sorry if the question is a little stupid, but can I do that as a woman or would I look bulky? (Nothing wrong with being bulky just not the look I'm going for)
Your question is valid. And yes as a woman you can do the steps mentioned in the video without fear of building too much muscle if you feel you’re gaining too much muscle you can make your workouts easier and not push progression too much But honestly as long as you don’t take roids you can still look very feminine and healthy while training
I use to workout three times a day but depression hit and I gained weight and haven't been able to lose it. Just now I'm starting to get back into the routine but being 36 fat gets harder. But Im setting goals since I only wear three shirts and one pants for everything since all my clothes are large and don't fit. Lack of motivation plus dressing is a disease. Wish me luck
It's okay, rings are only 25$, on top of this. You're not going to be able to do pullups without some equipment. And you're going to NEED to do pullups to progress in calisthenics. Also don't parks have rings and dip bars? No?
Rings cost 40-50% tops and can replace a home gym. Unless you want to train legs, but if you focus more on calisthenics you probably wont want to maximise leg hypertrophy anyway
Tao. Love your content. You got me inspired to start calisthenics about 6 months ago. I've made some good progress and I'm feeling great for the first time in a long time. I have a question tho. Does it matter when I get the exercises done during the day, as long as they get done? I mean like 2 sets in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 2 at night. Is the stimulus the same for muscle growth or is it optimal to do all sets in a row?
Technically that works but not very good for time management. Imagine taking 3 showers a day post workout and changing clothes that many times… not practical imo
Man I really want to download the app but the only problem is I can't afford it I'm only 13 and I have any source of income but I gotta say the advise you gave us on this video made me more motivated than ever
Was elementary school that hard for you, that number 10,000 is stuck in your head. That is your number, not mine. I was just sharing some additional information with you that actually AGREED with your calorie reduction. Since you know more than everyone in the world about physiology no need to check it out. The information added an additional dimension to what you were talking about. May God Bless YOU in all of your worldly endeavors. Blessings
Hi , bro lot's of love From India. I've tried some workouts before but was not able to do it in a day to day basis. I am 6.3' and 111KGs i can do 25 pushups . 0 pullups i 've tried to be a calishtenics guy , but failed. I've built a pullup bar at my home . But i lack too much of motivation these days... Can anyone help me out?
Okay so I started at 300. I started only eating one meal a day and drinking water only and went from 300 to 265 in less than 4-5 months. Now I am starting the callisthenics.
i somewhat disagree with you here, tao regarding the bodyfat%. I would say the best range for bodyfat is 12% < x < 15%. Anything in the single digits has a chance to disrupt hormone levels in men.
He didn't say anything about being in the single digits BF% in this video tho? He said 15% or less if you want to be good at calisthenics. It's true, the leaner you are the easier calisthenics becomes.
When it comes to weightlifting 15% is the best way to go, especially if you want to maximise muscle growth, but for calisthenics, the leaner you are the better you can perform. Most calisthenics bros stay at around the 10-11% for this reason.
“healthy” food has nothing to do with weight loss. You can loose weight on a diet of Doritos and Twinkie’s (obviously it’s better to eat healthy) but for a lot of people the only way they succeed is if they can still feed their cravings at least for the time being.
good tips but I don't want to be as skinny as a tree branch I like having a thicker base as far as my legs (quads, hams, glutes, calves) goes. It looks as though leg day is skipped here mUcHaChO

Thanks man! You reminded me to get my workout in for today. :) I've just started back up recently after some major health issues.
welcome back Tao
You need to show your before and after in every video, that is epic!

Good to see you videos B💪ro !
Once again amazing vizeo. Thank you Tao for your time and efforts.

Just what I’ve been looking for.❤
I've been sick for the past few weeks and my cut has stalled so bad. Cant wait to get back in the groove
I just did the easy dips today ty buddy
Thanks bro, this is the motivation I needed to get started
That picture wasn't Tao was it? If it was that's a crazy transformation, crazy.
Nah.. it’s my cousin Mao
Are you telling me the former chairman of the Chinese Peoples Republic and the Chinese Communist Party was black?😮
🤣
The calisthenics legend is back!
My bro please continue this series ❤
This is something people never talk about. Your barrier to entry for calisthenics depends on your beginning weight ie your relative strength.
next video for skinny fat guys please 🙏🏼
I think the rings might be the best tip. Along with a jump rope 👍🏿
Tao it the man.

not sure if anyone said this yet but bro looked like Luther
When i get shreded ima come back to this video
Dear Tao, what say you about adding long walks as a fifth component to your list?
That's a great idea
I've had barrage laser recently so i had to stop going gym. Moving to calisthenics.
My man looking like “Don’t you remember you told me you loved me baby “🎶
What about planks. I start with Planks for my core and walking. My biggest issue is diet/ caloric intake.
Planks are a great start. Can progress to harder ab routines once you master them

Not strong enough to do a pull up yet. What are some tips to help me get there?
Ugh, everyone keeps saying lose weight, before doing the thing that helps you lose the weight. Make it make sense.
Because diet makes you lose weight silly
It's the diet.
The fact of the matter is...if you're on the smaller side it's easier to do exercise, you’ll even be more motivated to go exercise.

I dont have rings muchachos. Why youtubers always include some equipment for beginner workouts. Cannot just recommend stuff you find in the park.
Why are you so unwilling to invest? That’s the real question
It's okay, rings are only 25$, on top of this. You're not going to be able to do pullups without some equipment. And you're going to NEED to do pullups to progress in calisthenics. Also don't parks have rings and dip bars? No?

You don't need rings to do incline pushups or chair dips

Why u mad?
Dips hurt my sternum, any advice? (i simply do not do them for now)
Then focus on pushups and overhead pressing instead. Those will work the same muscles the dips target without sternum pain
But I am morbidly obese.

How are you managing with only one meal, I would get headache, no snacks even?
