GET HEALTHY, FIT, AND STRONG WITH JUST YOUR BODY AND GRAVITY!
The Hybrid Fitness Routine is now available as a book! Spiral binding is included so that the exercise pages can lay flat for easy viewing during workouts.
WHAT’S THE HYBRID ROUTINE?
The Hybrid routine is a fitness routine that uses progressive bodyweight exercise. It’s designed to help anyone get fit with just their body and gravity! Very little equipment is needed and many exercises don’t require any equipment at all.
WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR?
Well, as mentioned above, the fitness routine can be used by anybody! It’s actively being made available in different languages and formats. This is the book version of the Hybrid Routine! For more information, our community and media content can be found as Hybrid Calisthenics on almost every social media platform.
DON'T LIVE IN THE US?
If you don't live in the US, you can consider ordering from your country's Amazon to save shipping cost! International shipping costs a lot for everyone (including us), but Amazon can sometimes print the book in your country to save shipping cost. The Amazon version is NOT spiral-bound - it is paperback! The quality is still good. Ultimately, the spiral-bound version from our website (that's here!) has better quality control from us AND supports our team more. However, please get the version that makes the most sense for you!
The Amazon link is different for every country, so your best bet might be to go to your country's Amazon website and search "Hybrid Calisthenics." This book should be one of the first results.
IS THIS THE SAME AS THE ONLINE ROUTINE?
Yes and no. The content and the exercises are the same, but they've been adapted for book form. The book is designed to be used by anyone - regardless of whether or not they're already familiar with the online routine. Some new information on variations, warming up, and FAQs have been added. However, most routine users that get the book tend to prefer a physical reference. Please contact us if there are any further questions on this!

I'm a 66 yr old female who hasn't had regular exercise since I left the Army in 1987. My goal is to slow down the reduction in strength I've been experiencing in the last decade. I got the book just a few weeks ago and though I had to start from a humble place in the progressions I'm already seeing improvement! $$ well spent!

I have watched the YouTube videos and found the information to be helpful. Currently, I have Multiple Sclerosis and find some workouts difficult. Cut to this book being released :) I can do these anywhere without equipment if I want. The work up to the different difficulties makes this book even more valuable to my situation. I guess all I really want to say is Thank You.
Mariano L.
Such a well thought out book, thank you.
Kathy

Amazing changes... Everyone needs one !!!!
Alaina S.
Really glad I bought this! I needed a book version to hold, and pretty easy to follow along with, can’t wait get some mobility back!
Tracy L.
The book is well organized with helpful information presented in a way that is not overwhelming. The book will help me as I progress to more difficult exercises. Thank you.
Catherine R.
Had it a week, on my third day of the program and love it for its clarity, simplicity and effectiveness. I already feel it. Thank you so much! It’s brilliant!
Ryan
Simple and clear. Love the humor and practicality of this.
Ryan R.
This is an excellent reference that I recommend to our students to help them modify their routines and participate in more fitness.
Amber Y.
Honestly, I purchased this book and then got sick. I do love that it lays flat! I've read a few step by step books on my health journey and this by far is the easiest to follow! I love all the photos with the steps, it's been a game changer and I can't wait to see the progress! Thank you for writing this book!
Kelly M.
I am happy to support this program. The book is a wonderful life-long reference. It is easy to follow and I appreciate the adjustment suggestions to help my progress.
Remember, if you don't use it, you lose it.
William S.
I had heart surgery 1 month ago. I'm 73. When the doctor gives the ok I will have to begin slowly, carefully and deliberately getting back in shape. I like how Hybrid Calisthenics will help me progress.
Rachel Z.
Beautiful book with well laid out instructions.
Amanda M.
Love the printed version. So much easier to use and I don’t have to fumble around with my phone or laptop. Thank you - just been through my first week and I already feel amazing! I needed something straightforward and laid out for me. There is so much random advice/apps online and it’s either too basic or way too much. This routine is perfect.
Cory H.
This is fantastic and really helps me want to use my extra room to work out, and answers all my general questions for work outs I could do.
I may need to flip around the book if it had work out and stretching suggestions.
Personally I need to make a workout I can do In the morning that makes me poo like an absolute dump truck, leave my bathroom like a nuclear hazard site, I want to risk my co-workers lives by leaving an ducking "elephants foot" of a BM level of hazard, and I bet this book would be a big help!
Ralph S.
Clear instructions and well illustrated. Like the adjustments shown for various ability levels, as well as the encouragement to do the best you can. Nice job!
Douglas B.
Book is very well made, easy to follow and the binding allows it to lay flat for hands free use.
Kaleb R.
I bought this for my dad who is recovering from some health issues. He LOVES it! He started the day he got out and can’t stop talking about it ❤️ The book is wonderful and clearly explains all the moves and their modifications, and you don’t have to have any special equipment. Thank you so much!!
Armando R.
Great for beginners, I'm getting better every week
Gabriela V.
Beautifully written!
Ann M.
Amazing!!! Very detailed and easy to understand. I love the way it is easily organized so I can learn the variations easily and understand how they work and link together. And it feels like Hampton is talking to you as you read! Is super awesome!
Samantha M.
Bruce A.
Love it!!
Daria A.
The customer service was lovely! My original package was stolen, I contacted customer service and they sent me a new book right away. It's grwat quality. Written very well. I love having a physical copy that I can reference at any time. Great breakdown of exercises to start as a beginner and to progress to harder and more advanced techniques. Highly recommend.
Erin L.
Love the book! I’ve been wanting to get back in shape for a while, and though calisthenic would be a good way to get back into shape without over exerting myself. I was recommended this book from a friend. I love how it explains the exercises and the binding is awesome to have making it easier to read while moving around and such. Definitely would recommend for anyone starting their work out or looking to get more in shape.
Sebastian M.
Great handy dandy oorkout book
Kerry T.
The program is very user friendly no matter where you are in your fitness journey. I started at the bottom levels thinking since I have been a swimmer for decades, formerly competitive, I was in good shape and wall pushups would be easy. Wrong!! If done right they are very challenging as are the other exercised.
I appreciate being able to start at a level that is appropriate to me and to continuing for a long time to come. This program allows you to do that.
Alexis R.
I love how detailed it is. The information is clear and interesting even as a read, not just an instructional guide. It was a really kind and welcoming book to get me excited about learning my body’s capabilities and expanding on them.
When it arrived, my husband asked what it was, and I told him “It’s Brother Hampton’s Book!!” It was a very cute moment between us because he got excited too!
Hillary R.
Love how this book has progressions to allow you to modify each exercise. The instructions and photos and top quality.
Dave
A good book for people getting started and beyond. I like the progression through the different exercises as you progress. Each exercise has 3 levels of strength progress before you move to the next more difficult variation. This is very useful for determining strength levels and when to move on.
Alaina
Great quality book! So glad you made a paperback version, I can’t want to really get into it!
Laura R.
So excited to have this!
Rita S.
I just started watching his video's and ordered the book which I love the format and photos! I'm now 71 yrs old, and look forward to adding a few new exercises from the book into my daily routine. Thanks so much!
Edward J.
Great book. I have already recommended it to others. Easy to follow
Desi N.
This book is exceptionally well written. The author authentic wisdom and compassion for human being permeate every page through clear and simple language. I'm been practicing the routine for 2 weeks now and have gained incredible results with a surprising minimal amount of effort. This is the only fitness program I know that actually fits into my life. Hampton and his team my sincerest gratitude and warmest blessings for all good things to come.
Alexis S.
I like how easy it guides you
Sarah R.
I’m thrilled to have a book which lays flat! I use it conveniently while practicing. The pictures and explanations are great and it has the same encouraging feeling Hampton shares in his videos.
Michael D.
Great information! Durable book! Quick shipping! Highly Recommend.
Zach H.
Great book really has transformed how I go about working out
Kim A.
Very well put together book, a good read. Very easy to learn how to do the exercises.
Thank you
Andrea M.
I know everything in this book is online and free to use; however, it is easier for me to look at a book than it is to continually unlock my phone and see a bright screen.
The information is incredibly helpful and easy to follow.
Everett S.
I am very grateful to have a calisthenic guide that does not involve me engaging with a screen or technology.
Love the layout and starting at the very beginning is challenging. Excited to build slowly and balanced. No short-cuts and compensatory patterns being reinforced.
Thank you thank you thank you for putting it together and printing it out for us!
Daniela B.
I am very appreciative of the simple format in which the book is laid out. Very descriptive, helpful, and mindful of people's different fitness levels. Hampton also does a very good job at making the reader feel taken care of!
Wendy K.
Love the spiral! I now need a hip replacement due to genetics, and the program Hampton and his team developed, keeps me strong without putting weight on my frame. Thanks
Emily D.
I love it! Perfect size, the pictures are so helpful and the instructions are very straightforward. Thank you!
Paul S.
The item is well made but I haven’t put it in practice yet. I keep getting emails to do this review, so that is annoying.
Sarah M.
The book is very approachable and easy to read. I love that the program doesn't crowd out my other fitness activities. I appreciate the explanations, tips, and progressions. I wish I had realized that the program needs pull-up equipment eventually, but lucky for me that will be several, several weeks away.
Jorge J.
Great book, shows how much effort you put into it.
If I have one negative comment it would be the spiral binding of the book. The pages hang up and it's a matter of time before they will start to rip. This should not and will not stop me or anyone from buying it now or in future books.
Great Job, love what you do.
Richard V.
The spiral bound guide is pleasing. Easy to navigate between exercises. The appeal of Hybrid Calisthenics, simple, concise, encouraging, and easily adaptable to my aging body, are present in a an easy to manipulate form.
Laurie S.
Awesome resource for practicing! Grateful.
Ashley M.
Great book! I love the layout and quality. Sometimes you can tell when a book was put together with love, and that’s what you have here. I know the content is available online (thanks Hampton) but I looooove having a physical copy. It’s made me more likely to stick with the workouts.
Cathy M.
Great book, just simple enough and detailed enough so it all works in perfect harmony for me. A+!
Ericka M.
Love the book!
Calvin
Great to have for the workouts. Spiral is a nice touch for the book. Satisfied
Mitchell L.
This book is perfoect for remotely working at home or getting a workout wherever you go. Highly recommend for those on a budget for the gym, or looking for a great way to gradually build strength.
Jeremy M.
Absolutely love the spiral bound concept, easily open and move with me and my wife as we exercise and browse for ideas. Plenty of visuals on all variations and I think that’s the big takeaway here. Hampton has demonstrations as well as the introduction/beginning variation up to advanced, so there isn’t just a high-end description name of an exercise without explanation. There is plenty for everyone to jump in and begin. Great purchase and even for myself having been physically active for most of my life, this is a great add to any collection but also a marvelous way to begin your journey to a better, healthier you.
Brian T.
Straightforward, concise, easy-to-use guide that offers each exercise in multiple degrees of difficulty. The spiral ring is key, so it can be laid flat on the page with what you are doing. This book would be annoying to use without it. Pages thick and sturdy. If you already stare at a screen all day and don't want to get the info on YouTube, this is a great alternative.
Jonathan M.
This book is EXCELLENT for beginners AND experienced users. It lays out a routine IN DETAIL. This is something that simply cannot be found. Every excercise routine, and I mean EVERY one that I’ve come across, gives the exercises, not necessarily the proper form, but none make it so simple to follow. Great job Hampton! Thankyou
Kaelie C.
I’m really excited to use this guide. It’s great to have everything broken down to a level that I can really use it.
Kim R.
This book is fantastic, with great descriptions of each movement, and pictures as well. Well done! 5 stars :)
Ben K.
Great book! Really useful
Marina C.
I have only just started reading and doing these exercises, but I love the ease in getting started. I love the associations Hampton makes with every day activities. I have never been able to do a pull up but he points out that I can open and close a garage door--and other activities-- that use these same muscle groups. I am excited to use the progressions to increase my abilities. I am grateful for the spiral bound format that allows me open the book to one page, to look at the photos with the simple tutorial explanations to make sure I am doing everything correctly. High quality production and I can tell a lot of thought went into its making.

I'm not a very active person by nature and my job has me sitting at a desk for 8-12 hours a day. I've always been scared of going to the gym because of body image issues and was never able to do any of the workout plans I've tried before; I would give up when I couldn't complete the required amount of pushups/sit-ups/burpees/etc.
This is the first time in my life I've stuck with a workout plan. I've been watching Hampton's videos for over a year now and his friendly, non-judgemental approach to exercise helped me to feel better about trying to be more active, and the progressive nature of this workout plan made it accessible to someone like me with no preexisting skills. I even look forward to my workouts every evening now!
I cannot recommend this plan enough or thank Hampton enough for making fitness and health accessible. Even though I find myself using the website more than the book (I typically don't carry it around the gym with me), I'm more than glad to have made the purchase to support the work Hybrid Calisthenics does and do my part to keep their mission going.
Ciro S.
Great selection of exercises thoughtfully presented! Good for beginners and those more advanced. Excellent mobility and strength exercises!
Michelle
Thanks! Great resource with excellent advice, photos, and descriptions!
luis b.
Very adorable and very informative. I follow the YouTube videos but it's good to have all the info ready to go in paperback form. Highly recommend
Barbara L.
What a handy guide!!! I love the focus on form and the descriptions of each movement. A photo reference on every page makes it easy to see.
Laurie I.
I’m going to get one for my mom! Love the easy transition into exercise for those of us who have never exercised before!
Tasha L.
Beautifully put together and excellent quality!
Sarah
Absolutely love this book! It is detailed, helpful and gives plenty of variations to keep me going! I love that the sections are color coded, but would find it more functional if they went down the side of the book so that it is easier to flip to the next section. I made my own tabs though and added some sticky notes to keep track of the progress of each exercise within the book!
Aaron M.
I started the Hybrid Calisthenics Routine last week and I love it so far! I especially enjoy how I can do this along with other activities. I have many active interests and it’s challenging for me to find the time/energy/motivation/energy to do everything I’d like. I’m so psyched about the progressions and regressions that can help me reach my goals of doing more challenging movements. To think I could one day do handstand pushups?! So sick. Capoeira here I come.
Mary C.
I bought one for a friend. So useful.
James L.
Quality of the book is excellent. Shipping was very helpful getting to book to me after some problems I had with shipping address. Thank you again for all your help!
Kari B.
Love the book it really helps me show people how there are so many different ways to work out. Thank you!!!
Joseph B.
Love this book, particularly the spiral bound copy! I first got the regular book on Amazon, not realizing it wasn't the spiral bound copy. So I got one from this website. I love the details, the tabs that let you know immediately if you're in the pullups or squats section, the simple easy to implement program that can be combined with other programs.
What else do I love about this book? Here's what I wrote on Amazon: First, it has realistic progressions and goals that normal folks have a chance to achieve (unlike Paul Wade's Convict Conditioning, one arm handstand pushup, anyone?!?), it has thorough and helpful instructions, and a friendly encouraging tone (also characteristic of Liu's great Youtube videos). There are a LOT of bodyweight/calisthenic books out there right now, this is one of the very best and most useful.
My only criticism (or suggestion) is that for squats, I think the airborne lunge is a better goal than the pistol, or it makes a good step toward the pistol. But a very minor criticism!
Robert V.
Ok, was looking for a workout routine to follow involving strictly body weight. Saw your add on FB. Ordered your book, recieved your book. Explanation of exercises is fantastic. What's not fantastic? I need a routine, not just a list of exercises in random order. This is my second review you asked of me, I wrote something similar on the other review, but Alaa, no one is paying attention, as you would have reached out to help out.
Sincerely
Robert
Val A.
The book looks great. I like the binding so the book lays open on the page that I'm using. Nice quality and good content.
Carol P.
Been watching this guy on reels for a while, really like his 'vibe' which in my world is the gentle and relaxed way he introduces us to the 'you can do this' mind set. So jumped at the first chance to order his book and it's everything he said it would be- spiral bound, sturdy, progressive, great notes, great photos - and it arrived at my door quickly! From 'taking a chance' to great outcome, I can only imagine Hampton's content is going to be as positive experience as ordering the book itself has been !
Jason M.
Great stuff. We'll worth the money. The ring binding makes for comfortable and easy use.
DEREK V.
This book is carefully written and designed to allow most anyone willing and able to improve their physical health.
I believe it has improved my strength and understanding of physical health. For this I am grateful. I encourage those who wish to develop their body to watch some videos by Hybrid Calisthenics and consider purchasing their book.
I believe it will be beneficial to most individuals.
Jordan G.
The book is well-worth the purchase. Viewing the information online is one thing, but the benefits of using the book brings an extra level of planning and discipline to your disposal. Would recommend to all interested!
Kelly B.
I love that this book is self explanatory. The exercises are easy to understand and I like that I am able to do a few sets each day to slowly build my muscle strength up without my muscles being so sore the next day that I can't move. I have had some mild soreness as my muscles get used to working again, but I am able to continue my exercise plan even with this small pain. I am working on the lowest progressions and I already feel stronger after only 1 week. I work remotely and have quite a sedentary lifestyle and I wanted an exercise plan that doesn't require a lot of equipment and that I don't have to leave my house for. Hybrid Calisthenics is the perfect way for me to build up muscle and core strength so that I might be able to get away from the zombies when the apocalypse hits :)
Rebecca B.
Very well written and properly explained!! Would love to see a follow up for getting to a hand stand!!
Daniel Lee S.
I love the clarity and simplicity of this book.
Jodi D.
A well of knowledge and helpful information. So happy to have my copy to help me with my fitness journey.
Miranda R.
Perfect! Informative and thorough!
Robert
After a minor problem with my book missing a page.
Hampton personally contacted me and made things right. Great customer service . Highly recommended this series.
Kim E.
Love the ease of the format and the thorough descriptions of how to modify each exercise to progress from easy to difficult!
Barbi M.
Excellent work on this book. Easy to follow and clear and precise instructions. Thank you for putting all your energy into this project.
Barbi McKinney
Brett S.
Fantastic book! Enjoyable to read and well thought out. Already putting it to good use!
Eric
Great book!!! I initially learned about this author on YouTube.
R J.
I watched the videos and love them so bought the book and it is at the Judojo for the other instructors to read! Excellent layout and pictures!
Michael M.
The book is absolutely exactly like what is shown. But there is so much more packed in it. From exercise detail to level of experience. Not too mention alternatives to a gym. I want sure what to expect, but I have followed Hybrid Calisthenics for sometime now on FB. So I kind of figured he put a lot of thought and detail into it, and he did. The book is amazing and I highly recommend it.
NICHOLAS J.
Came really quickly and in great condition!
