Calisthenics Workout
Free calisthenics workout template with push, pull, leg, and core bodyweight sessions plus Gym Log import.
Calisthenics Workout is built for people searching for a plan they can actually follow instead of another overwhelming list of exercises. The routine keeps the weekly structure clear, uses movements that make sense for the goal, and is designed to import cleanly into Gym Log so you can start training without rebuilding the plan by hand.

It gives you enough detail to understand the schedule, enough exercise structure to begin right away, and enough flexibility to swap movements once the routine is on your calendar. That makes it a useful fit for real-world training instead of just reading about workouts online.
