Pushups - Do 1 pushup then 2 then 3, all the way up to 15. If you can't do 15 (or fewer) straight, that's fine. Just do the pushups, and try and get through that 15th set as fast as possible (that's what will keep you progressing)
Pullups - Just keep fucking trying. Do jumping pullups to build strength and rep a few out. You will look ridiculous for awhile; that's ok. If you find yourself getting really good at these, put on a backpack with 10lbs (it makes a huge difference)
Squats - Do an absolute shit ton of air squats. You can toss in some lunges too. Feel free to work in the 15 pound weights, but air squats alone will put on muscle mass.
Clean up your diet. Sure, plenty of folks will call flame, but I don't give a fuck. You do these three exercises and watch what you eat (cut the carbs), you can have one of those crazy ass transformations in 6 months--guaranteed. |

For pushups, are you saying to do 15 sets (1 on the 1st set, 2 on the 2nd, etc.) for a total of 120 pushups each MWF?
Air squats to failure?
The other stuff looks good. My main thing is to keep it simple so I stay motivated. |

Air squats to failure will be fine. Feel free to toss the dumbbells in your hands and do the squats holding the dumbbells in front of your shoulders--it will make a surprising difference in difficulty. |

I swear by calisthenics now.
when you are strong enough, do wall assisted handstand pushups OP. |

There are a lot of gymless S+C programs out there; Ross Enamait is one I've seen a lot of people swear by, although his stuff usually requires a couple pieces of equipment (usually cheap stuff you can make yourself). |

To get your muscles toned, do pushups, situps, and lunges. You should vary these exercises for best results. For example, you should be doing regular pushups, but also change it up by doing them on an incline or decline, and try clapping pushups as well for plyometrics (you might have to work up to these). With situps, do regular situps, but also do twisting situps, situps with legs in the air, alternating legs, etc.
To burn fat and improve your cardiovascular health, jog a couple miles, three times per week. If you can't do this, do something that looks retarded but since it is in the privacy of your apartment, it doesn't matter, like doing jumping jacks or jogging in place while you watch tv.
Guarantee you will see results within weeks, but you have to put in the work. Keep track of your numbers. Don't just be content that you do some pushups every day. Do as many as you can, write it down, and try and improve next time. |

Doing pushups, pullups and air squats - even a very moderate amount - on top of a disciplined diet will get the job done more quickly than you think. |
