Happy New Year! Time for Lemon Pigs! A new year tradition, bring yourself good luck for the ensuing year by making a lemon pig. You will need:

1 x Lemon

2 x Cloves

4 x matchsticks / tooth picks

A piece of tin foil

A knife

5p/Shilling/Nickel coin

Insert the matchsticks / toothpicks in the base of the lemon alla legs. Press in the close to the pointed front of the lemon. Make some little slits just above and pull the rind very slightly up (to create ears). Make a tiny slit at the other end of the lemon and make a tiny tin foil roll and insert into the slit (for the tail). Finally make a small slit beneath the clove eyes and insert a 5 pence piece.

Windswept I'll never get tired of making Princess Mononoke fanart. Still my favorite movie of all time

Calisthenics for Beginners (2023)

You can learn almost any exercise by building up with easier variations! Here are some examples.

Note: this is a short version of a 26-minute long video called "Home Workout for Beginners (2023)" on our YouTube channel. If you want more details, please check out that video or the Hybrid Routine page: https://www.hybridcalisthenics.com/routine I tried to fit what I can into a short video.

Also, yes my knees go in a bit more than I'd like during my intro jump when I stand up 😅. The one later is better.

We're going to try to schedule a large backlog of videos to post daily for a while! If anything seems out of order, that might be why. Follow for more - have a wonderful day!
