Really noticed an improvement in my upper body definition after starting a daily press-up regime now at 100 a day so pulled the trigger and bought the book (You Are Your Own Gym) from World Of Books. I balked a little at the £12.99 rrp but secured a second hand one in excellent condition for £2.99 delivered next week.

Hi TBR - Will let you know when it arrives next week.

It’s sort of the “official” book of this thread. Looking forward to it as gym training never sticks with me but simple bodyweight exercises that can be fitted in at home appeals more & more, especially after seeing the results of just doing a few daily pressups.

It has lots of different exercises for different areas, some of which use doors and tables.

I've not really found anywhere in the house where I'm happy doing the pull-up type exercises for fear of breaking the furniture etc.

If you are worried about your door frames etc Mister Tea free-standing pull-up stations are available if you have the necessary space & understanding co-habitees!
