I've been wondering this for a while now, so it's a wonder that I haven't posted this earlier. Having no weights at home, although this is set to change soon, I do Lunges, Press-Ups and Sit ups/Crunches when at home. I enjoy situps specifically because you can definitely notice the difference, especially in toning. My slight Six Pack has been pointed out before at the beach on a school trip, I was really happy.
By the way, what exactly do press-ups work? I know they're meant to work Pecs and Shoulders mainly, and I've noticed increases in strength with shoulders, but pecs still seem to be flat as can be. Arms aren't bad, but weight work whether resistance or free weight seems to simply be better.
Anyway, on to the question at hand. Is it simply that the more of these exercises you do, the more results you get? I know you should stop with weights even if it doesn't hurt because it will only lead to a loss in muscle rather than a gain if overworked. Is it best to do these exercises until you hurt the next morning, then stop until it stops hurting, then do it all again?
I speak in aesthetic terms because I have no real way of showing physical strength in any way apart from aesthetics, especially in the short term where gains in strength aren't too significant.
What do you think? Do you have a workout of some kind using these exercises (E.G. Like a Gym Workout Plan type), or do you just do them when you feel like it/aren't doing anything else?
