Get fit without joining a gym

I do a Les Mills body pump class.  If you have them near you, they're good for overall weight training which will ultimately improve your press ups.  I can do 11 in a row now and I would say its mostly to this class

try a wide grip..or weighted pullups(6 to 12 rep ranges for muscle)...and go slow ,maybe at a 212 tempo(2 secs up 1s hold 2s dwn)smthing like that

there s a book (pdf) called '7 weeks to 100 pushups' i had the pdf..u can follow that routine..doesnt matter even if u cant do one..u can start the program on ur current level(wall ,table pushups i think)

As a bodyweight exercise, pull ups are hard to beat. +1 for Daniel H on the backpack.  15 is a good start. Can you do 1 arm pull up yet? Otherwise I would suggest trying to find a rowing machine.  Or find something h...

Swimming. :)

dolphin pushups?

Dolphin pushups?

Dolphin pushups?

muscle ups, wide grip pull ups - as wide as you can go.  put a back pack on, full it with rocks.  Pull ups with added weight are more difficult

extended chair dips x weights

Regular pull-ups, chin-ups, muscle up, pull up on one hand - early negativ then full :)

I've been working out on my own for a few months outside the gym. I strained a muscle in my back but feel pretty well recovered at this time.

my arm workouts usually have some sets of push ups at the end, they are one of my favourite excersises as you can do them pretty much anywhere, and there are so many interesting/crazy variations :P

There are loads of good guides on Tribesports if you do a quick search, I wrote quite a few myself. Heres a progression plan: 

I just take my music dressup and go outside. As soon as I start listening adrenalin rushes through and I get going :D

I love pushups! It certainly helps banish the jiggly part of my arms! I used to be able to crank up 20 pushups before but pregnancy, emergency c-section and weight gain later, I now can only do kneeling. I plan to go back to doing full pushups aga...

Alot of good advice in there, but remember to do a bit of weight training and some flexibility stuff like Yoga. With the little info you give i would suggest a circuit type training.. 5-10 minutes of stretching...

I have the lose it app on my phone. It counts calories. You can set goals for how much you want lot loose. I have started it a month ago and lost 4 pounds off of it without working out. It really makes you smarter wh...

On the knees is a good start. An alternative is to stand at the bottom of a set of stairs. Pick one around mid level and do a push up against it. As you build strength you can move down a step and by taking a step ba...

Start by getting good at doing push-ups from your knees as this is easier. Then you can start to do them properly. Stick with it, the more you try the easier it will get.

At the moment, I can't even do one...(An embarrassment to the world of fitness, I know!). It would be great if anyone could help :)

I weigh myself.  Somehow that always motivates me!!

Yeah, any change of environment or change of routine can easily get you out of the swing of things, but don't beat yourself up over two weeks. Just get back at it and do what makes you feel good; working out!

I too seem to have more aches and pains these days, but is it becasue we are pushing ourselves?  There is a growing evidence that running is actually good for osteoarthiritis and helps prevent or manage it according...

no matter what u do u will wear out your joints when u get old...bt there re a lot of things u can do slow them down..experiment with changing the ammount of physical activities you do...if u dont feel a change go see...

Thank you everyone! Been taking it very easy, and toe is healing!

I usually workout in the mornings, an hour after my breakfast. When I feel demotivated I switch my schedule. I rest in the morning (get to read, or paint, or even clean my room), and in the afternoon I'm really eager...
