I remember in 2005 i went through my divorce and started doing push-ups again. I could only do reps of 20 when i first started. I had always been into lifting weights so i thought push ups would be easy. I really struggled as i was pretty heavy from being married and not caring so much about my physique. By the end of 30 days i was able to do over 50 push-ups. My dips went from 10 unassisted dips to over 30 per rep. And the change in my upper body was pretty amazing. Over that time as i dieted and lost weight the more i was able to push-up and dip. Obviously because i was getting stronger and losing weight. I found that the cardio aspect of the workout was way different than just sitting there pushing up plates. If you own a treadmill its great to circuit (50 push ups...25 dips...run half mile....50 push-ups...25 dips...walk half mile full incline....50 push-ups....25 dips....run half mile...50 push-ups....25 dips....walk half mile full incline)
When you can reach that regimen your in pretty good shape. Its all i do and have maintained my physique for over 8 years. If i gain weight it just gets me bigger muscle wise as im lifing more weight. I like to put on wight in the winter and then cut in the summer. But it dosnt matter what my weight is i still do the same exact routine. That circuit i run every other day and then do light cardio and arms on my home gym on the off days. But i could do my arms with kettle bells alone if i needed to.
For dips i use a Triceptor system. You can also do push-ups on it. Its cheap.

Where I live residents have free access to any of the 4 rec centers in the area. They all have full gyms, swimming pools, basketball courts and then each one has something that the other 4 don't. The one nearest me has an indoor soccer field. Another has 6 indoor and 5 outdoor tennis courts. etc...
I really have no excuse.Hashtag thepowderblues
