Ka, you seem to be suggesting several exercises which I don't believe he can do, unless his office is in the center of a gym.

Push Up and variations = don't need a gym
Abs don't need a Gym
Squats BW = don't need a Gym
Static Holds(talking about L sits or Handstands 4 corner drills) don't need a Gym
Dips, couple of Chairs = don't need a Gym
I'm guessing you don't understand the reference to Ladders ethier.
So... do 1 rep rest do 2 reps rest etc up to X and back down.
Hope thats clear

What you refer to as "ladders" is also sometimes known as "pyramid sets".

Morning All,

So this morning, after my generic calisthenics of jumping jacks, situps, pushups squats, I started my office work. I JUST finished my first breaks exercises and this time, after reviewing this thread, I decided to focus on one body group at a time. This time is abs... OK NOW I'm at muscle failure. The interval sprints really did me in, plus changing the movement between the various ab exercises. So now I've got that nice sore feeling.

My next break I'll go for the pushup series... after my experience w/the abs, I'm expecting muscle failure fairly quickly. I'm gonna start recording what I do in a spreadsheet to see how I improve over time.

Thanks for all the input, everyone! Good stuff!

OK I think I'm gonna ease up tomorrow and make it a rest day for me. Today's sprint sets (I've done 3 - abwork, pushup work & legwork) are a bit more than my body is used to. Kinda interesting that when I pace myself, I can do equal total reps to the sprint sets, but complete them all and feel good, whereas the sprint sets leave me panting and VERY sore.

Again, thanks for the input ... I like the results - well, mebe at least until my body gets used to it ... we'll see
