7-Day Calisthenics and Weight Training Program w/ PDF

calisthenics and weight training program

If you are looking for an ultimate, easy-to-follow, and effective calisthenics and weight training program, I can help you.

In this article, I’ve shared two workout routines. The first one involves performing calisthenics and resistance training separately on alternate days, and the other one combines them both. Depending on your training preference, you can follow one of them to take your fitness to the next level.

Calisthenics mostly involves bodyweight exercises, such as dips, push-ups, pull-ups, and planks, and helps improve strength and mobility and makes your body sculpted and flexible without lifting heavy weights or torturing your heart.

On the other hand, weight training is excellent for strength and muscle development, bolstering your bones and joints, and shaping your physique.

Mixing up both of them can help you become fitter, stronger, and healthier in the long run.

Alternating Calisthenics and Weight Training Split

Calisthenics and Resistance Training
Workout TypeHybrid (Weights and Body-weight)
Split TypeFull Body
Sessions/weekSix (Calisthenics and Weight 3x each)
Program GoalBuild a sturdy, sculpted, and flexible body

Target GenderBoth Males and Females

It’s a six-day split containing three sessions for resistance training and bodyweight calisthenics each.

  • Day 1: Weight Training
  • Day 2: Calisthenics
  • Day 3: Resistance Training
  • Day 4: Calisthenics
  • Day 5: Strength Workout
  • Day 6: Calisthenics
  • Day 7: OF

This alternative split allows you to focus on every muscle group and helps you become strong and supple over time.

Before you start your main workout, I suggest performing a couple of cardio exercises to increase body temperature and a few sets of resistance exercises (lightweight) to prepare your muscles for intense training.
