This is more in the category of bodyweight exercises or "calisthenics". You can either opt to go that route, or go to a professional gym and train with weights. Depends on your goals. I've recently started calisthenics and have been enjoying that way more than the weightlifting I did back in HS.

Why I personally prefer calisthenics over weightlifting:

• Free
• Learn functional bodyweight exercises like:
  • pushups,
  • dips,
  • pullups/chinups/muscle ups,
  • handstand,
  • L-sit/V-sit,
  • advanced planche variations,
  • etc.
• Cons:
  • Cannot build as much muscle as you potentially could with weightlifting, however it is way more pragmatic
  • You do need to be relatively lean for calisthenics (which is 99% diet) or else the exercises will be significantly harder

If you opt for weightlifting in a gym, focus on compound movement exercises like bench press, millitary press, rows, deadlifts.

Hope that helps.

Why say Gymcel when you don't need a gym to do these. You are wasting your time with a lot of them.
