Holding your arms out to the sides is going to isometrically work your shoulders and diamond push ups will work your triceps, shoulders, and chest, as well as activate the stabilizing muscles in your core.  You're leaving out a lot of muscle groups, including your legs and back.  Even the muscles you are using will not be worked out very extensively with this regime, though.  Anything is better than nothing, but what is "good enough" is going to depend on your goals and current situation.\n\nIf you plan on playing any sports this will hardly be adequate preparation.  If you are trying to improve your body image or it won't help much either.  You have two choices.  Either a, find the time to work out, or b, accept the consequences that come with not working out.\n\nAt the very least, try doing 15-20 minutes of calisthenics a day.  This includes push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, squats, etc.

20 minutes is a nice cardio workout, but if you want to build muscle, no. For example, I do bench press three sets about five times. Than I would do bicep workouts, three sets, five reps. And finally, I do forearm workouts. And your supposed to have at least two minute rest between reps.  Remember, less reps, more weight builds muscle mass; while less weight, more reps builds muscle endurance.

I am a personal trainer and first you should train your triceps only when they have been rested sufficiently and also it looks like you are training your chest and triceps the same day...don't. it is better to train arms and chest on seperate days. it would also be a good idea to train your legs as this helps your whole body grow and raises your testosterone.  hope this helps..

do something that involves a lot of your muscles but doesnt put a lot of strain on them for AT LEAST 15 minutes every other day.

I did it a few years back, super tiring doing it 5 days a week, i think if your going to do it you should have a good strength base and then try doing it 3 days a week in my opinion.

i don't know a lot about working out but i do know you should try to work all muscles including the opposite of what you want to work such as you want a six pack be sure to work your back too if you don't it could throw you off creating a sore back it all takes time but you will be happy in the long run

Its all about pushups. When ever you have a couple spare minutes just drop and do some pushups. Along with some benchpressing once a week , you'll get ripped pretty quick.

I used to do it in high school. I suggest that you do 100 chin ups and 100 pull ups each day. If you can't do that, work up to it. I also strongly recommend an abdominal workout. Your abdomen has as much to do with that as your arms do.

You can defiantly gain muscle at home. I do push-ups and crunches every other day. I am getting stronger. There is no equipment necessary for these actions. You can also jog around the neighborhood or run in place. There isn't a certain lmit of time, it just depends on how hard you work. Here is a good saying "No pain, no gain". It means that if your muscles aren't sore the next day, then you aren't working hard enough.

Push-ups don't work your biceps, but do work your triceps and chest. For biceps, try doing pull-ups. they work your biceps good along with your lats, which really compliment your chest well. Do as many as you can of each every other day. Just like if you were lifting weights, you need to give them at least 48 hours for recovery, or you could overtrain them. \n\nHow long will it take to see results? It will not be overnight, but if you keep at it, you will have good results in a few months. For even better results, remember to work the whole body. Nothing looks funnier than a well developed upper body and scrawny legs.

Well, it's a start. Pushups are good for building your shoulders, lats (latissimun dorsi: back muscles) and, to a lesser extent, your triceps. So, your muscle definition might be a little more noticable. But to get buffed, you really need to add more exercises. Curls are great for your biceps. If you don't have weights, just find something you can curl 10-12 times per set. For triceps (the muscles behind the biceps) a good exercise is chair lifts. Go up to a chair like you're gonna sit in it, but put your hands on the edge of it, fingers back, palms down, then lower yourself to the ground till your butt barely touches and then raise back up. Good luck!

Doing anything in repetition will help your body. One hundred push ups a day is good for your age, and it will help tone you and keep you in shape. You should also think about running, because that keeps your heart in good shape.

allow time for your muscles to rest in between work out days so every other day is fine.

Push ups work great. If you cant do them on the floor, try doing them against the wall. Place both hands flat against the wall, making sure that they are paralell to your shoulders. Slowly push down and release making sure to engage your muscles. \n\nAnother good exersice is the chest extention. If you dont belong to a gym that has the machines, just get two dumbells, hold them in each hand. Sit in a chair straight. Bring both your arms up to the level of your breast with your elbows out (kind of like u are doing the funky chicken dance) Then move your arms back toward the small of your back, like you are almost pinching the area between your shoulder blades. Move your arms forward, but take care not to lock your elbows. Do three sets of 10-15 of these.\n\nYou can also try chin ups or french presses. These excersizes may not sound like they work your breast area,  but they tighten up the muscles AROUND the breast area, making them sit up tighter and firmer.

Well, lifting weights can be good...The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you'll burn while not working out.  Don't forget that your legs are the biggest pieces of muscle on your body and are used very often for even the simple act of standing.\n\nAny exercise you do will add up to calories burned at the end of the day.  So, even if you just take 10 extra minutes and walk up and down a set of stairs, you'll be better off.\n\nIt's probably a good time to do a few crunches.  Leg lifts and push ups are probably good options also.
