So, for the 1st exercise of the day you need to put the rings near the ground,

1st exercise is: Plank with straight arms.

Just hold the position and keep breathing.

Squeeze your gluteus and abs

You can also rotate the wrists if you want

start with 10-20 seconds holds and try to increase by 5-10 seconds until you are able to hold the position for 1 minute.

this exercise is pretty easy, just keep your arms completely straight,

2nd exercise of the day: Push ups.

You can also support your forearms on the rings

when you push back up try to bring the rings near each other

When the push ups becomes "easier", you can rotate the hands between repetitions.

This is important when you'll approach the most advanced exercises on rings.

Next exercise: Assisted Dips.

Assist yourself as less as possible.

Always start with straight arms

You can rotate the hands when you feel in control of the motion

Before doing the assisted dips, be sure to master the push ups on rings!

I know what you are thinking, something like: "where can I find some gymnastic rings with a good grip?"

Next exercise: Support position.

Great to get used to the exercises without the help of your feet on the ground.

Remember to always keep your arms straight, supinate the grip so that you can assist yourself with the help of the triceps leaning on the lats.

Abs and gluteus must be activated.

Start with 10-20 Seconds holds and increase the time after every week until you are able to hold the position for 1 minute or more.

My feet are not touching the ground.

You don't really need many tips for this hold, just be sure to actively push with your arms

When this exercise becomes too easy, you can start doing the Tuck L-sit.

Raise the knees and hold the position

When you are able to properly hold the position you can start training the L-sit on rings.

Start with 5-8 seconds holds and try to increase it by 2 seconds when possible.

Today we are not talking about a specific routine, just choose 2-3 exercises of the right difficulty and train them.

Today we are talking about the exercises that I'd suggest you to start working out with rings.

Push perpendicularly to the ground and think about "bringing the rings close to each other"

because the rings tends to widen

So it's better get used to this.

Next exercise: Dips

Without helping yourself with the feet on the ground

Try to reach a 90° angle with your arms while going down, you can also support your forearms on the rings

When you get used to the movement, you can rotate the hands between reps, this is called Bulgarian Dips

Next exercise: Australian Pull ups.

Pull yourself up, don't bring the rings near the face, the motion should finish with the chest near the rings.

Elbows shouldn’t be too close to the body or too wide. The movement must be natural.

I know that some of you may think "These exercises are too easy"

So the next exercise is gonna be a little harder.

This is great for the biceps.

Last exercises of the day: Pull ups and Assisted Pull ups.

If you need some elastic bands, you can find mine at shop.andrealarosa.fit (link in description)

Activate your lats and rotate the hands towards the end of the concentric (if you want)

If you are a beginner you can assist yourself with an elastic band

No excuses!

Once you have trained these you'll be able to start training the pull ups.
