I've been #running for 201 days, one run a day ranging between 1-21km. Now I am starting to incorporate strength exercises three times a week. #Calisthenics. Last time I did this I got injured after some months and stopped exercising all together. Not this time.

This time I will go for slow sustainable progress.

If you are doing strength training start with one of those handheld grip gadgets and get your grip up to 60kg before doing any strength training.

This has massive benefits for your form and control of resistance, and will really help you avoid injury.

Nobody really tells you this.

Thanks for tips!

I aim to follow the recommended routine on reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness so mostly calisthenics for a year or so, we'll see how I develop. Sometimes I'll go to the gym at work and lift things with coworkers, but I really loathe going to the gym, and love doing skill things like handstands and the like. I will however need a real good grip to hang and to balance myself properly, so yeah thanks! I'll need to look into that.
