try bicycle crunches. if you don’t know what they are research it because they are hard to explain.

pushups would be your best bet!

do lots of pushups start off doing small sets and reps then go higher as u become stronger, also do crunches not situps becuz crunches give better results and situps would hurt your tailbone, and dont forget about stretching

You are already doing the right things. You could also use objects around your house as weights, such as water bottles, milk gallons, etc, so you can add some chest, bicep and tricep exercises. You can do tricep dips on a chair or sofa. You can do tons of ab exercises on your own. I would recommend looking for a website that demonstrates how to do these exercises properly, and also to make sure you are using the proper form.

try 5 to ten cycles of , 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 wide push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 diamond push ups and 10 more sit ups. add sets of dips and pull ups to mix it up and keep your muscles from plateauing. burpees are good to add as well. try some of the workouts on the site below. this should help.

Hmm… thats a tough one…
These ones will work both abs and legs but you might like them…
1.Lay flat on your back, then bring your legs up as vertically as you can (keeping them together), then lean them to one side as far as you can handle and maintain for about 6-10seconds (keep your back as flat to the floor as you can), then switch and lean the to the other side and repeat as often as you like. During this excercise you should try to keep your abs tight as it will give them a better work out.
2.Lay on your back, bring your legs up – bent at the knee for a 90 degree angle, lift your shoulders off the floor as if your about to do crunches, then push your legs straight (as if pushing something away from you) and repeat. Remember to keep your shoulders up a bit, keep your legs together, keep your abs tight… and if you can’t do 90 degrees don’t worry about it, most people can’t when they start.
3.Lay on your back with hands tucked under your lower back and raise your legs 6-12 inches from the ground (keep your legs together and straight), hold for 10 seconds, lower your legs for 2 seconds and repeat as often as you like. Again, try to keep your abs tight.
As for the arms… ummm, I don’t really know what to say there… I use a couple of cans of paint because I don’t have weights but I can’t really give you any excercise tip for the arms other than standard excercises, sorry!
Anyway, best of luck, hope you get some good tips!

Lay off the knuckle pushups unless you have someone who can show you how to do them properly – they can mess up your hands and wrists over time if not done with proper form
Find a place to do pull-ups with space for pushups, and try this plan out:
Supersets (that means one exercise, then straight on to the opposing muscle group. Example: Pushups (works chest and tri’s) then immediately go into pull-ups (works back and biceps).
Do 3×15 reg. pushups supersetted with sets of 5 overhand-grip pullups (that’s 1 set pushups, 1 set pullups until 3 of each has been completed)
Then 3×15 wide pushups supersetted with sets of 5 chinups (that’s palms-facing you pull-ups)
3×15 dive bombers supersetted with sets of 5 narrow-grip pullups (palms facing away, thumbs touching each other)
3×15 diamonds supersetted with sets of 5 wide-grip pullups (palms facing away, about twice shoulder-width)
If you have trouble getting through all the pull-ups, do negatives. That’s where you jump up to get your chin over the bar, hold yourself at the top for one second and lower yourself down as slowly as possible. Drop the one-second hold as needed to complete the workout or if it’s still to much, reduce the number of pull-ups per set to something you can handle.
If you can do all the pull-ups no problem, awesome. Make sure you’re going all the way down to a full extension and coming all the way up, and increase your numbers as needed. Remember when changing your numbers to shoot for something that will allow you to finish the entire sequence.
Do this every few days, eat clean, drink lots of water, keep running, throw in a few solid sets of V-ups as needed, and enjoy your gains!
(EDIT) REMEMBER TO STRETCH!
