Yay for bodyweight exercises, too much underrated by most people, good idea for a thread!

Push-ups (handstand, on knuckles/fingertips/finger and thumb, wall, sink, raised feet, wide/narrow arms, slow 20-secs reps, holding breath, 1 foot on floor, one arm further forward than the other...etc).
Dip (chest, triceps).
Lunges.
Squats (wall, free-standing)
Crunches (V-sits, gymnast rocking abs)
Calf raises
Plank (side, normal)
Other yoga stuff like: balancing on hands, feet out parallel to floor; crow pose (??); boat pose...[can't remember all the various yogic names and can't be bothered to look them up ]
