I've been looking to lose some weight and get in better shape lately, but don't really have ready access to a gym because of life circumstances. Figured I'd throw this out there and ask for some advice about working out at home to lose weight with no equipment. I mean there's the obvious push ups, situps, etc. But I'm more looking for advice on how many sets/repetitions, how many days a week, etc. Obviously I plan on dieting a bit as well, but any advice or some kind of link/graphic showing a few basic workout plans would be appreciated.
I figure this post can help some others in the same situation as well given a lot of us want to get in better shape to prepare, but don't have access to the best facilities, and whatnot.
Random, less-known pieces of advice.:
Diversify your nutrients - There are many many tiny steps between you eating food, and that food becoming muscle, bones, or whatever tissue. Every single tiny step requires a nutrient that people tend to neglect. EG: the nutrients that you eat need to physically absorb into your body, hence why we need to eat healthy fats. This is why you need to eat a bit of everything.
When you eat matters - If you eat the wrong time, then it could decrease melatonin production, which disrupts REM sleep.
