Chest and Upper Leg Workout

So there comes a time when one feels he/she is too skinny and skeleton-like, and should do something about it. I’ve decided that now’s a good time to start building a little muscle since we’re still at the beginning of the summer, and so I don’t feel like any other person could just snap my arms in half (or something like that; I’d have to actually have that happen). While stretching many muscles may require the need of a machine with weights, I’m attempting to create a workout for myself that doesn’t require any so that I could get exercise in anywhere without needing to bring anything along. I’m still experimenting with what I’m going to be focusing on and how I’m going to be getting the “burn”, but here’s what I have so far:

• 3 sets of 5 full push-ups, holding down 5 seconds on the last one of each set
• 4 sets of 5 full sit-ups, holding 5 seconds on the last of each set
• 3 sets of 5 full push-ups, holding down 5 seconds on the last one of each set
• 2 sets of lunges, holding for 5 seconds down on each one with your knee an inch or two off the floor
• 3 sets of 5 full push-ups, holding down 5 seconds on the last one of each set
• 2 sets of 15 kneeling side kicks
• 3 sets of 5 full push-ups, holding down 5 seconds on the last one of each set

You can tell I’m focusing on arms mostly for these, as that’s what I need most work on. This is designed to be challenging for me currently, but I’ll tweak and add things to it as time goes along and some of the exercises become easier.
