Reason I'm asking is, thinking of only doing sit-ups, press-ups and chin-ups to work my upper body for a while, don't really have the time to get to the gym.

 

Should these 3 (and variations of them) be enough to see me through ?

add some punching drills and you should be headed in the right direction........ :nod:

Thanks for that.

 

I already work out on pads 3 times a week at training, but I don't have a punching bag at home. Would shadow-boxing using light weights be (2-5lb) be a good idea?

 

Which weight would be the best to use for this?

3 times a week is plenty to be punching if you haven't got a bag I would have though...

 

Chin-ups, press-ups and sit-ups sounds like a good variety of exercises for upper body building...although I don't know how anybody can do chin-ups...they're far too hard :wink:

 

I probably am just as weak as I make out. :uhoh:

Well, chinups mainly work the Biceps and shoulders, and Pushups mainly work the Triceps chest and upper back, and situps work the abs, so yes that seems good enough :smile:

 

Adding some leg raises however wouldn't go a miss!

flexers with legs slightly bent and lower abs with legs straight if I recall correctly, which is not a certainty!

Are leg raises better than lunges or squats?

 

I can't do chin-ups...tried today, only did one and couldn't get back up a second time. Don't really care about having strong shoulders anyway.

 

Where are the flexors?

 

Oh dear, I'm lost. :uhoh:
