If there's something around your house that you can hold on to (like a door frame, for example) then a whole suite of subtle push–pull hanging exercises are available to you. 

Muscles (and fascia) that can be worked this way include (but not limited to) latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, obliques, the paravertebrals (the muscles on either side of the thoracic spine), and all parts of trapezius. It's the combination of pulling and pushing forces that work so well.
