Hi MFP.
I'm looking at starting fresh (hence a new account) and have started by quitting the gym that I neglected going to in favour of using some public gym equipment over the road - it's all rope climbs, climbing frame, sit up benches, step up stuff etc.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me set up a program for myself by giving me some goals to do with bodyweight fitness. I'm talking stuff like L Sit, Handstand Push-ups etc. Once I know what I'm working towards (as I have little-no idea of big picture bodyweight stuff) I can set up my own routine of how to get there. :)

Or heck, link me with stuff! I love being linked with stuff, googling isn't getting me good resources.

Thanks :)

    How about walking 30mins per day at a brisk pace

    then when you can handle that try the c25k app to learn to run

    i am using a gym and learning to run again, at age 50..... its hard but im now run walking comfortably for 25mins, its taken me a while

    there are loads of sites to give ideas on the net .....try these for inspiration

    good luck

    Ultimate goals to work toward?

    Paused Ice Cream Maker (hold the front lever each rep)
    Paused Planche Pushups (hold the planche each rep)
    Foot elevated, both hands behind the back shrimp squat
    Jump-Switch Pistol Squats
    Glute Ham Raise (support below the knee, not the gym contraption, much harder)
    Manna
    Straddle Handstand Press
    Walkover Bridge to Handstand
    Hands Elevated Full ROM Handstand Pushup
    One Arm Chinup
    Slow Bar Muscle Up
    Human Flag

    (along the path to those items you'll pick up the dragon flag/body lever (front lever assistance exercise) and back lever (planche assistance exercise)).

    Convict Conditioning is also good for bodyweight exercises, and has a youtube channel for visual learners.
