i have very limited room in my house due to my roommate being a pack rat. but i found that supersetting (or supersets, whatever you want to call it) works pretty good.
supersets combine two or more exercises with similar motions to maximize the amount of work of an individual muscle or group of muscles. the exercises are performed with no rest period between the exercises.
i would do pushups, then go into squats, then go into situps, then go into lunges, and so forth without a break in between exercises. an entire exercise routine consisting of about 10 different things would last about 15 - 20 min and i'd be sweatin' hard.

i stuck with it for about 3 weeks and then winter really got me depressed and i stopped. i'll get back into it hopefully. i need to get in shape. i feel like a blob.

Pushups and pullups are the best hands down!
They sell a pullup bar at the local sports and outdoor shop that is like $20. It goes over a door and works really well.
Get that, and a couple of pushup bars (so that you can go deeper and wider than a regular pushup) and you'll be golden.
That's really all you need excercise wise.
That, and quit drinking alcohol, and clean up your diet, and wath the weight fall off.

x10 on the supersets.
Those work great, as well as circuits (which are more like 10 exercises before a rest).
I'm doing circuit training right now and it rules!

Wow, I forgot about this thread.

I've got a couple designs drawn up for some balance boards, using old skate decks. If anyone's interested, I'll post up the finished products here.

The most glaring inaccuracy in this thread pertains to the sit-ups and crunches.Waste o' time. Do ANTI flexion,rotation,and extension exercises for your core and it'll be far more productive.

I've incorporated This one into my core sessions and it's a motherfucker.In a good way.

Trust me.I'm ripped.
