I can never stick with a routine that involves going to the gym, so I want to start just exercising at home, using my own body weight for resistance. I think by going with a Keep It Simple Stupid plan I will be able to stay committed. Does anyone else do this and what exercises do you do? I was thinking I will stick to push ups, chin ups, and sit ups for the upper body and squats and lunges for the legs. I figure this is something I can do every day, and I also play basketball a couple times a week and want to start running again at least a couple times per week for cardio.
