I am glad to have subscribed to Calixpert. It has already helped me make significant progress in just 4 weeks - the pull-up guide has turned one pull-up into 5 and my core stability is much better! The programmes are very well thought out and structured and are highly recommended for both beginners and advanced users. You also have the opportunity to get motivation from a very friendly community and exchange ideas. Malin and Daniel answer questions very quickly and offer very professional support. Once a week there is also the opportunity to have questions answered via video call.I can highly recommend Calixpert to anyone who is interested in calisthenics or simply wants a good balance to their daily work!

I’ve gained strength and confidence, and the structure gives me a clear roadmap for training that I can stick to now and in future.
My favorite new appI really like the interactive style of mutual support from members and support from coaches. The leveling up keeps me engaged in the community area, which helps me to remember to work out.
I've been following Malin on Instagram for a while now and came across her own program. I was struggling with a plateau in my progress so I decided to give her program a try and what can I say - I love it! It's so good to have a structured plan, explanatory videos and she responds so quickly. That's another thing I really appreciate: you can ask for advice and get help with individual problems and I asked for a student discount and guess what - Malin made it happen! In general, the price-performance ratio is incredible. The variety of programs is great, you can decide for yourself which level to choose (even within the programs there are lighter and heavier options) and there are special programs for handstand training, mobility, pull-ups, L-sit,...So all in all, Calixpert is for anyone who enjoys exercise, wants general and individualized help, wants a good price and wants to see progress:D

I’ve been part of this calisthenics community for 4 months now, and it’s been amazing!

Calixpert is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to level up their fitness and strength!Before finding Malin and Daniel’s programs, I struggled to stay consistent in the gym and couldn’t find workouts that matched my abilities. Since starting their Female Calisthenics Beginner Course, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my strength and even lost weight—something that felt impossible before.I’m looking forward to tackling more advanced skills like the L-Sit and Pull-Up with their guidance. But what I love most is the supportive community they’ve built. They’re always ready to answer questions and give workout advice.

Even if you’ve never done a push-up before, this guide is for you. We start with foundational exercises to build strength and confidence.
The program uses a 5-step system to help you learn your first push-up and a tested system for progressing to 10 reps.
Some steps may take 1-2 weeks to master, while others could take longer. There’s no rush—move forward only when you’re ready.
Each session takes about 20 minutes and is done 3 times per week, making it easy to fit into any schedule.
No gym required! All you need is a resistance band and an elevated surface like a box, bench, or sturdy table.
If you feel that improving your push-ups or even getting your first one has been impossible, starting this system will show you how easy and rewarding the journey can be—without disappointment.
To perform a proper push-up, start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core to prevent sagging and maintain control. Lower your chest toward the ground by bending your elbows at a 45-degree angle, keeping your elbows close to your body. Stop just before your chest touches the floor, then press back up to the starting position while maintaining a straight body line.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to improve your push-up count, this program is designed to guide you every step of the way. With consistent training and focus, you’ll build the strength and confidence to reach your goals and beyond. Join us and discover how to master push-ups!
No, you don’t need any upper-body strength to start this program. It’s designed for absolute beginners, starting with exercises like scapula control, protraction, and incline push-ups on an elevated surface. These modifications build your strength gradually, so you can progress at your own pace toward your first full push-up.
Most beginners can achieve their first push-up in 4-6 weeks with consistent practice. By following the program and focusing on proper form and progression, you’ll build the necessary strength and confidence to perform a full push-up within this timeframe.
You’ll train push-ups 3 times per week on non-consecutive days, such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This schedule allows your muscles time to recover and grow stronger between sessions, ensuring steady progress.
Yes, you’ll need a resistance band and an elevated surface (such as a box, bench, or sturdy table) to modify exercises and help with progression. These tools make the program adaptable to your current strength level.
If your wrists hurt during push-ups, you can reduce discomfort by:
Each session takes about 20 minutes to complete. This makes it easy to fit into your schedule while still providing an effective workout that delivers results.
To avoid shoulder or elbow pain during push-ups, focus on maintaining proper form by keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body. Avoid flaring them out too wide or tucking them in too close, as both positions can create unnecessary strain. Engage your core throughout the movement to ensure your body stays in a straight line from head to heels, which helps reduce pressure on your shoulders and elbows.
Before starting your push-ups, take time to warm up with dynamic stretches and scapular activation exercises to prepare your joints and muscles. If needed, modify your exercises by starting with incline push-ups to lower the intensity while still building strength. If you experience pain, stop immediately, reassess your form, and reduce the intensity of your workout as necessary. Proper form and progression are key to preventing joint discomfort and ensuring safe training.
Yes, this program can be combined with other workouts. However, it’s important to prioritize the push-up routine at the beginning of your workout when your energy levels are highest. This ensures that you’re giving your best effort to improving your push-ups while still allowing time for other training goals.
To build the strength needed for push-ups, focus on progressive overload. Start with incline push-ups on a sturdy surface like a table or bench to reduce the difficulty. Add supporting exercises like planks to improve core stability and tricep dips to target the muscles used in push-ups. Gradually lower the incline until you can perform a push-up on the ground. Train consistently three times per week and allow for proper recovery between sessions.
Push-ups are highly effective for both building strength and developing muscle. They enhance functional strength by targeting the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. For muscle growth, focus on performing push-ups with controlled movements and gradually increasing your volume and intensity.
To follow this program, you’ll need a resistance band and an elevated surface, such as a box, bench, or sturdy table, to modify and progress your exercises. These tools are essential for helping you build the strength and technique required for push-ups at your own pace.
Push-ups are challenging because they require strength in the chest, triceps, shoulders, and core, along with coordination to maintain proper form. Many beginners haven’t yet developed the muscle endurance to lift and lower their body weight while keeping their body stable. Breaking the movement into smaller progressions and focusing on form helps overcome these challenges.
Most beginners can achieve their first push-up in 4-6 weeks with consistent training. Building up to 10 full push-ups may take an additional 1-2 months, depending on your starting strength and dedication. Progress happens quickly with consistency and focus.
It’s not recommended to do push-ups daily. Training 3 times per week with rest days in between is ideal to allow your muscles time to recover and grow stronger. Overtraining can lead to fatigue or injury, so it’s important to give your body enough recovery time.
Push-ups can cause discomfort in the wrists or shoulders if done incorrectly or excessively. To avoid injuries, focus on proper form by keeping your wrists aligned with your shoulders and avoiding excessive flaring of the elbows. If your wrists feel strained, use push-up handles or perform push-ups on your fists for a neutral wrist position. Strengthen your shoulders and wrists with supporting exercises and always warm up before starting your workout.
