If you're just getting started with bodyweight exercises, try out squats and see if you can work your way up to a single-legged squat (also known as a pistol squat), it may take you some time. Pull ups, dips, push ups and rows are four more important exercises that together cover much of your upper body muscles. Try planks, reverse planks and other plank variations for abdominal work. If you can do all of these exercises well, you should look into learning more advanced techniques, such as handstand push ups.
