1. Chin ups and pull ups, but you will need a bar to put in your doorway so you can do them at home. Push ups are also really good.
2. Regular Pushups,Diamond pushups(focuses more on triceps), Knuckle pushups(strengthens wrist, and your knuckles, as well as building your chest) Also, some crunches, reverse crunches, cycles, Leg lifts for abs.
3. If you truly have no equipment (including a chin-up bar), pushups are the way to go. Just google "pushups" or "pushup variations" to find a way to mix up the exercises and then just start pushing away.
4. The three most basic and effective exercises are: push up pull up dips There are other variations that just the basic, the pull up also works your back which is just as important or more important. All you have to do is reposition your hands in each of these to get results. And you dont need special equipment, the pull ups can actually be done on the door themselves. Dips on a chair or inbetween bars/counters.
