those are the hard versions, I can recommend some more normal variations too to work up to them
Yeah, I'd appreciate that too. Probably not going to be too good at exercising for a couple months since I've lapsed working out for like 18 months.
For intermediate versions of the push ups, you can try typewriter push ups or diamond push ups
For the pistol squat, you can do it while holding on to something or just do the part where you go down but not the part where you stand back up
For the Nordic curls, you can use your hands to help! Just push against the floor
For pull ups, you can jump up to the bar and then lower yourself as slowly as possible
