We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new training journey: Explosive Calisthenics!
This journey has been especially designed to elevate your training experience with dynamic and powerful bodyweight exercises that will challenge both your strength and agility.
It uses bodyweight exercises only and wonāt offer the option to include equipment like weights or resistance bands. If you have runs enabled and select 4 or 5 sessions per week, the Coach can also assign a mix of running intervals and running Gods.
To access the Explosive Calisthenics journey, please ensure that you have the latest version of the Freeletics app installed.
For more details about this exciting new journey, check out our blog post here: Explosive Calisthenics
Get ready to take your training to the next level!
Yup-you can still use the āExclude runsā option, even if you have 4-5 days training set. The running intervals really add something to this Journey though, so if you can, do try them
Ah, itās very different to WFG Itās almost like 2 journeys in 1, the first half focusing on Strength (i.e. how much force you can produce) followed by a week of deloading before a second training period focusing on Power (i.e. how quickly you can produce this) followed by another deloading week, before a Hell Week
Hello, thank you very much for the update! I might try after my current journey
Is it plan to add additional exercices or goal like the L or the flag and get the specific exercices to reach our goal ?
Is it plan in the roadmap to have some calisthenics using materials such as parallelette or dips pull bar, gym parallel bar or pullup bar, gym ring ? This would be really amazing to have freeletics covering calisthenics!
Thank you for this new training journey!
John
Calisthenics is simply a type of resistance training that uses your own body weight and gravity to help you build strength and endurance. The vast majority of the Training Journeys already in the app are calisthenics based for which you need nothing but your own bodyweight (although having a pullup bar is a useful optional most of the time!) to do.
We donāt share our product roadmap, but we always want to add more equipment and exercises, and hopefully you will be able to see some of this in the future.
Iām really happy to see a meaningful Freeletics update. Congrats to the team, and a huge round of applause for (what I assume is) reshaping the roadmap and focusing on the right things, which weāve been noticing for some time now.
@Ben ā could you share how long it takes to prepare a completely new journey?
I hope this is just the beginning, and weāll see much more new content!
Weāre always trying to introduce new content Pawel We never rush features out, and when it comes to Training we put a great deal of time and effort in to make sure that what we introduce is safe, challenging and ultimately helps Athletes reach their training goals.
Great news and well done to the team. It would be great if we could try another journey without quitting the one weāre currently doing. Or at least you can get a glimpse of a training day or week. Like a test ride.
This is great news, but at the same time letās face it, Freeletics is already strong on bodyweight, explosive training journeys, so to me it still feels a bit more of the same. I would love to see a new journey combining all the available equipments: bodyweight, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, platesā¦ If Freeletics would work out something like that they would be really pioneers, as I havenāt found any other app that does this (and I have tried many). Anything like this on the plans?
Hi Ben,
Iām going to start this training program, since I used to run, I enabled runs as well. Just wondering if there is any option to replace the run with tredmill when outside is raining. Thanks for reply.
Option 1. Do the running workout without your phone and log the whole interval manually as below:
Option 2. Turn off GPS tracking, and have your phone in front of you on the treadmill, and just swipe as required when you complete each part of the interval/run.
This TJ has been out for a while now and Iād like to hear what other people think of it.
Iām not that far in 14/48 sessions.
So far it doesnāt feel that different from weights free gain TJ other than included runs.
Why so many leg exercises?
I was looking forward to base callisthenics exercises such as pushups, pullups, squats and so on to really focus on.
This leg workouts are starting to kill me
Already have some moderate knee pain.
Friday, leg workouts.
Yesterday I had a 3km run and today again leg exercises.
This canāt be right, right?
Edit: I had to use adopt session feature today. I donāt use it normally as usually I trust what coach gives me. Just canāt bear any more leg workouts they need to rest.
I had no other choice but to start program my own workouts outside of coach to improve my pushups, pullups etcā¦ and this starts to beg the question why am I paying coach subscription if I need to program my own workouts.
Maybe I am doing something wrong here thatās why I want to hear others experience
So Ive been doing hybrid strength 3x. Im about to finish the 4th journey and wanted to start the Calisthenics one after. How does it compare? Does it mimic true Calisthenics in the sense that it trains extreme body control and strengths, though a lot of bar workouts for example ?
Hi! have you maybe considered to introduce an option of using a medicine ball as an equipment to some exercises? i think that would be cool to see and have in some of your future updates!
