I'm looking for some exercises I can do that require only what I always have handy (my body). Push-ups, crunches, calf raises, etc. I have a (second) job where I go for minutes waiting until I'll be busy again, and would like to know what exercises I can do there on the floor while I wait. So far I have these:
Push-up
Lunge
Squat (although my knees crack too much for this, I think)
Calf raises
Crunches
Leg lifts (lay flat, raise legs 6" off floor and hold)
What else could you add? These don't have to be "hiking specific" but they are certianly applicable. In addition to muscle building, I'd like some muscle lengthening exercises too. Stretching, gaining flexibility.
There is a type of pushup and squat named for some guy... Really famous for this type workout, and I can't remember his name. That's not much to go on, but if you know, you'll know who I'm talking about. If I could just find that, then I'm sure I could get tons of ideas on his site. (It's not Chuck Norris.)
So, please help me!
Thanks!!
